DJing is in Joshua’s blood

My father was a musician for years before transitioning into a successful DJ. I began going along to events and fell in love with it. That passion for music led to an ability to read a crowd and to pack dance floors. But it’s my desire to make each event the best that it can be that has earned me a reputation as a consummate Master of Ceremonies.

My favorite part of being a DJ is working with my clients to plan their occasion. I enjoy the process of learning about their ideas and vision and being able to offer insights and guidance to craft their unique event with them. It’s a joy to then take those plans and turn them into the reality that the clients have dreamed of.

With over 20 years of DJing, I am completely at ease on the stage and running the show without becoming the focus of your event. I am a skilled DJ and MC that knows how to involve guests to bring new levels of fun and energy. Clients continuously hire me because of my reputation as a smooth and confident Master of Ceremonies. It’s the ability to adapt to unknowns while implementing the clients’ vision that ensures that each event that I DJ is a success.
