The challenge at most events is that there is a wide range of ages and musical tastes. Reacting to the mood of the crowd and blending together an interest mix of music requires a disc jockey who has experience "reading" an audience. 

As I was performing standup comedy over the last 25 years I constantly had to learn to read the crowd's response to what I was doing and respond accordingly.  I bring that same set of skills when I am the disc jockey for your event.

An extensive knowledge of music is also required in order to know a wide range of songs that appeal to all different ages and what songs can be used to blend from one era or style of music to another.

My preference is to play a good cross section of established hits from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and throw in hits from the new millenium as well. While I include Big Bands from the 1940s, early Rock 'n Roll from the 1950s , country music and even some Bhangra when requested, I definitely don't like to play crap... er, I mean rap.  

So if you're looking for someone to DJ an all rap evening, then please don't choose me. If you must have rap all night long, please check out WeDJ.ca or WeDJ.com to choose the right guy.

Speaking of choice, in a typical evening event we have time to play about 50 songs. The best way to choose the specific songs that will appeal to a particular audience requires a disc jockey who interacts with the people and plays their requests. 

My Musical Waiter request service ensures that everybody has the opportunity to let me know what music they want.

Which brings me to the final point in choosing the right DJ for your event.  Are they easy to get along with and a good fit with the personality of your group?  Do you like the DJ?

After you check out my disc jockey prices and services page, give me a call at 604-689-8767.
As we talk about what you want for your event, together we can decide if I'd be a good "fit" as the disc jockey for your event.
