My Story: 17 Years of Professional Experience
When I tell people I have been in business for 17 years, most look at me in disbelief. The picture you see is not one taken in my younger days. This is how I look now at age 33. I have been a wedding DJ since I was a freshman in high school. It is still as enjoyable and exciting today as it was when I first started. Here's how it all began.
Early Years
I became interested in music as a toddler, constantly trying to push all the buttons on my parents' stereo system. I was the kid who cared less about toy trucks; I just wanted the new Michael Jackson and Prince records. When I was old enough to know what it meant to be a disc jockey, I would practice in my bedroom and look for opportunities to entertain the neighbors. Some of the first events I deejayed were neighborhood block parties and friends’ birthday parties using a couple of boombox cassette players. By the time I was in 7th grade, I became the official DJ for my middle school, along side my science teacher who did all of the announcing. My school had all of the sound equipment, and for lighting they had a disco ball permanently hung in the middle of the cafeteria.
Professional DJ & Radio Career Begins
My first paid job was in the fall of 1994, as a freshman in high school, when my science teacher asked me to continue to DJ the middle school dances for $50 a dance. I took him up on the offer, but I knew I needed to freshen up my music collection with all the latest hits. Since there was no such thing as iTunes at that time, my options were limited. I didn't have the budget to buy all of the latest CDs, so instead I made a phone call to the local radio station.
