May 23, 2024That's my DJ!!
Wow...not really sure where to start with this review. We hired the Sophisticate to DJ our Rehearsal Dinner, and we could not have chosen a better resource. She was extremely organized in her delivery, and her communication throughout the process was 5 star. She listened to the vibe we were trying to create...and without having to provide any specific songs to be played...she had everyone vibing at our event from age 12 to 72. What I enjoyed most about your services was watching how much YOU actually enjoy music. Your energy on the mic is inspiring.
Thanks so much for being a very big and special part of our wedding weekend. I will definitely use your services again in the near future.

That's always been surrounded by all things music. As a musical contributor and Graphic Arts designer for EGB Entertainment.
Along with the her deep unwavering passion for the music.
The move to Dee-Jay and taking control of what I deem is good music and allowing that music to be heard by the masses. It was nothing but a natural fit.
