DJ Brian

“It’s obvious that you have a passion for your work and love what you do!” This is the comment I hear the most at the events at which I perform. The best part about this — it’s absolutely true! I do love what I do for a living. I’ve always loved people and music and have a fun sense of humor, so disc jockeying is a perfect fit. I basically party for a living and in the process, help other people have fun at events. What could be better?

I have thoroughly enjoyed all the different types of events I’ve done, which include weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, corporate and private events. Over the years I have averaged 100 performances per year. Because of my varied experiences I’ve become very good at gauging or reading a crowd to know what music to play and keep them engaged as well as building additional momentum on the dance floor. Having a large music library that runs from the ‘30s to the present certainly helps in that respect.

I customize the details for each affair based on your preferences. I always bring the following types of music with me to every event: Rock ‘n Roll, Top 40, Alternative, Indie, Big Band and Swing, Motown, Dance, Country, Standards/Show Tunes, Soul, Disco and Funk, R&B and Hip-Hop, Slow Songs and Ballads, Ethnic-Jewish, Latin, etc. My experience reading a crowd dictates what if any, level of interaction is necessary to get them going. I’m one of the most outgoing, interactive DJ's in the business, and if any DJ can jump start a party, it’s me. Naturally that level is dictated by what you the client wants. That said in instances where the guests don’t seem to know how to get started I may get out on the dance floor to lead group and/or line dances, get groups of people singing on the mic or use my personality to help draw people out. In any case, this is all done in such a way as to not be obtrusive. It works!

A Stress-Free Experience
It can be stressful to plan an event. I want the event to be stress-free for my clients. I've performed at over 1,000 affairs so consider using my experience as a tool to make yours simpler, easier, and better. I can accomplish this by doing the following after you have hired me.

I call 3 months before the event to do some preliminary coordinating, earlier if you prefer.
I call again 3 weeks before the event to go over the entire flow of the affair. We discuss everything that will happen from cocktails to the last dance, I'll make suggestions or recommendations for what I’ve found works best.
I contact the venue the week of to coordinate my arrival and set up time, so you don't have to.
During the event, I will run the show from start to finish, based on the time line that you have provided and we have reviewed. I coordinate everything with all the other vendors you have working for you on site. It's your affair, you should expect to be able to eat, drink, dance and schmooze instead of worrying about what timing of comes next.
I also bring back-up equipment with me to every event – just in case!

I’d love the opportunity to talk with you about working together to create a “once in a lifetime” event for you and your guests.
