      Started my own DJ company about 8 years ago. I always had a passion for music, but never any good at playing an instrument. I found enjoyment in the challenge being a DJ presented to me. I have since turned it into a full business venture, servicing weddings, sweet 16s, Birthdays, corporate party's, bars and clubs and many other types of events.
