Johnny was the DJ for my 50th birthday party and he did an incredible job! He put together a fantastic mix of music, including tunes from the 70s through today, as I had requested. My friends and I were dancing like we were 20 again. Johnny is polite and professional, and helped make my party a night I will always remember. I would hire him again in a heartbeat, and I recommend him without hesitation to anyone.

Response from DJ Johnny Seriuss:
Always a pleasure Debbie! and thank you for being an amazing host!
Johnny was perfect for our cocktail party corporate event. We had very specific requests for him to play oldies tunes mixed with top 100, and he went above and beyond our expectations. Extremely professional, well-equipped, easy to communicate and coordinate with, and very accommodating for our requests and guidelines.

So I communicated with DJ Johnny Seriuss. He was friendly and easy to work with. However the day of the event he did not show up. He had a DJ Jarano with an assistant show up. I was taken aback that I was not told ahead of time about this arrangement or plan and really disappointed. DJ Jarano was friendly and played the majority of the songs I requested and so much more. I did enjoy him as he was professional and he had an outgoing personality but if you are paying for something you are requesting that thing not a substitute. For that I had to reduce my stars rating.

Response from DJ Johnny Seriuss:
I am sorry, but I had a death in the family that day and had to get on flight ASAP. I tried calling you before I got on plane with no answer then I specifically told DJ Jarano to call you ahead of time to explain everything. Looks like he failed to do so and just showed up. I am sorry you had to find out that day and I am sorry I could not been there. I am glad the event went ahead went very well and I feel like this review rating of 3 stars is harsh especially the circumstances and did provide you a very good dj on day of event.
So, I contacted Nerissa a week after because and explained her everything what happened she was understanding. She wanted to change her review but she couldn't. I contacted gig salad but they told me once a review is written it can't be changed :/

Johnny did my sons 10th birthday party. A lot of kids running around. A lot of requests. He did such a gray job. He arrived on time. His set up was quick and without fuss. From the moment the music started to the very last song all the kids were dancing and having an great time. Even at the end when he was wrapping up I didn't even realize he was leaving. It was seamless. I would use him for any event for kids and adults. I will definitely be booking him in the future. .
DJ
Johnny was fantastic. Great selection of songs and mixes for my daughter's Sweet 16 party. He was super at reading the mood of the room and making the night fun. Sound quality and light set up were great, too. Looking forward to having Johnny play our next party!!

Thank You Kim anytime here to serve you and I really loved your hospitality making me feel like family :)
Johnny was taken ill on the day of our event, but very responsibly, he provided a replacement. The substitute showed up early, was sweet and effacing. He was skilled and provided an excellent mix of music and also was responsive to the requests of guests. We would welcome him at a future event!

We hired Johnny for a client's party that I had no idea what to expect. The party format was new, a community outreach Christmas party for neighborhood children, and the guests were unpredictable (0-150 children, age ranges 0-17!) Client changed her mind at last minute and wanted a DJ that spoke Spanish (thank goodness for Gigsalad!) Johnny's partner did an amazing job improvising with the crowd and my client, from changing the schedule as the party progressed, to creating games to keep the children engaged. The client was happy and the children had a blast!
DJ
Great job and terrific value for money
We will definitely keep using Johnnyseriuss
highly recommended

I met and hired Johnny through gig salad, for our corporate holiday party in December.
We sat down, talked about our party in details and what we needed for the party. We told him we needed a good DJ to provide good musical entertainment for the party. He provided just that.
Our company always hires different DJ's every year, so every year we have a different type of year. But this year I wont forget about Johnny, he was no regular DJ. He did more than expected. He makes sure everybody gets involved and has a good time. He played music that entertained all of our employees. He even brought many of our seniors execs that never gets involved dancing again, he made them feel if they were in studio 54 again. Brought a lot of memories to all our employees, many of us danced and had a lot of fun.
I was shocked and amazed overall a great party and the entertainment, that Johnny brought brought to the party. Overall what he provided to us was great Christmas/Holiday party for all of our employees.
I highly recommend him for any type of Holiday or any type of similar
Thanks Johnny and thank you Gig Salad for finding this great DJ

I heard and met DJ JohnnySeriuss at a lounge in astoria queens. He truly was rocking the place we were at the place was going wild. He was unique he was playing a wide range of music that I haven't heard since I was small. He played a mix of salsa with indian and reggae that I was wow!. I went in there at 10 and did not leave till 4am. He truly knows how to mix that a lot of the DJs around here don't know how to do. He gave me a mix tape where I went to google his name which lead to his site and here. JohnnySeriuss a truly DJ International Mixmaster that his slogan
Hi,
Me and my wife Hired DJ Johnnyseriuss for a weeding reception we had in August. The event was in wedding banquet hall in long Island. We met before in person for the event he walked us through the venue explained our options and explained what to expect. Boy he delivered everything he promised.
All my family and my parents had a ball, they were dancing if there were young again. The people had a great time, johnny was professional looked good. Did what he was supposed to do entertain us the whole night and be our disc jockey!
Thanks Johnny!
I hired Johnny for my young sisters 21st birthday and I was a little bit worried if I booked the right DJ because I was looking for a Club DJ not your typical wedding dj at the same time cater for my sisters 21st bday. I booked him based on a friends recommendation.Later I realized I booked the right DJ! Everything was catered for the event. The Music choice, the lights, the sound everything was met for my sisters birthday. Johnny talked to us ahead of time to make sure is right, he made us feel like we are valued and that we are the center of attention.
Everybody was dancing the whole time, he was playing everybody's requests while maintaining a groove, he was on the microphone making it fun! He was very good DJ mixing and playing my sisters songs.
Overall a Fun time more than I would had in any type of club :)
I would hire Johnny again when I need him again Highly recommend him
Thank You Johnnyseriuss

About
My Name is Johnny Rivera but people know me as DJ JohnnySeriuss, the International Mixmaster.
I grew up in Queens, New York listening to the sounds of FunkFlex and DJ Tiesto. I was never interested in DJing until my best friend introduced me to a pair of CDJ’s, mixing underground house, then I quickly learned how to mix electric music. Soon the trouble came of course: I got curious if I can mix a Britney Spears song with this underground house song... To my biggest surprise it not only sounded great, but I enjoyed it, while my friend was giving me the "what the hell" look, I had the most fun breaking the rules!
I really liked the experience as I went on trying to imitate dj's, I found just one established DJ who had the same idea: DJ A.M. I had growing appreciation for the versatility of his music, his scratching skills, and his understanding of music.. He became my inspiration. I am no A.M. and I never had the chance to see him live, but in my early days and still today he inspires me to become better and sets the bar every time when I'm on set.
So why the "International DJ Mixmaster"?
The reason for this name is because my specialty is to blend together any type of song and make them sound like they belong together. When I say any song, I mean any song! It could be a brazilian samba mixed with house music, carribbean reggae with rihanna and some salsa beat there. I don't know how I do it but it works - anything from albanian to african, if it has great beats and can make a crowd go wild, then you will be sure you will hear it.
I work at several lounges, clubs, and many events for Celebrities and High power executives.
Where I learned to hone my skills is djing around the world can a DJ ask for more? I was trained by people of every age, from all around the world, how to please them the best, what turns them on. So when I go back to New york city I get people in their 60's dance all night to my music, newly engaged arab couple thanking me for the best party experience they ever had, Indian kids asking me "how did you know this is my favorite song?" or the Albanian army of chicks shaking to hits they didn't even have the chance to download yet. You are from the Bronx, or from Bangladesh they always ask, I just know what it takes to make you move, and I love it!
I believe that nowadays a skillful DJ needs to be very versatile and I am well known for that. My music collection is vast, that enables me to rock a latin crowd, a heavy metal crowd, an electro crowd, a crowd in their 50′s, or a crowd of ANY - you name it, I can do it all!
In addition to this, I also enjoy to mix all genres. I put great importance never to stick only to what's safe - which is a big problem with many contemporary DJs. Any DJ I believe can just conveniently live off of "Current Top 40", or the Hip Hop and Latin radio hits.
But it takes a special skill set to do it all. I am that DJ who has the balls to do it all: to go back in time or try funny or sometimes weird things - the way I do.
I listen to many DJs and I can tell there are too many bad DJ’s and so few good ones. I am not afraid to say that, as I am not afraid to drop a Backstreet Boys song in the middle of a bumping set, just to throw the crowd off either.
Where many DJ’s fall short is they play music for themselves and they get confused that the show is about them! Then they fail to remember to please the crowd, or simply they just never knew how to do it on the first place. They tend to forget that we are in the entertainment business and our most important ambition is you! The dancers! The crowd! It's about people who enjoy music, and not about them sucky DJs! ;)
Unlike other DJ’s I love requests and after just that one song I can tell that person’s requests for the rest of the night. Thanks to my passion and the years of experience I put in to DJing.
The best secret, aka my secret is very simple: a very good DJ is a Performer and Crowd pleaser....
...and thats what I seriussly do
