Key Points
What motivates you to still DJ...
This is a great question but a very simple one for me to answer. There are my main reasons why I've done this so long. #1. Simply, because I love to do it! There is nothing like knowing you are the one creating once-in-a-lifetime memories by providing a memorable and fun environment for clients and their guests. #2. My Family. My wife and son are my life and by me continuing to be a DJ, MC, and industry consultant, it helps me give them the life they deserve.
How long have you been a DJ...
I’ve been a professional DJ and MC since 1977. I started out in 1975 as a DJ’s assistant, then DJ, for Roller City Roller-Rinks Friday night dance parties. In 1977 I was asked to DJ a surfing competition at Huntington Beach begining my professional career. I was known as Professor Jam and my company then was called A Spinnin'Crazy Productions *Click Here* to view my 1st website in Feb. 1997.
What is your DJing "style"?...
This has been a very common question lately, and there are many ways I can answer this, but the short answer is…. My entertainment style is to provide a professional but relaxed vibe to your event. I do this by talking to you and your guests like we have been friends forever (No cheesy fake radio voice) and energize your party by playing the music you want to hear. I do mix my music seamlessly to give you a great party!
