CO-CEO / Disc Jockey

Back in the early 90s, I was simply the guy who brought the music and controlled the stereo at all of my friends’ parties and get-togethers. But in 1994, I got my first real taste for the DJ business when I accompanied a friend to an event at which he was hired to entertain. That night – due to an unfortunate situation involving keys locked inside of a Mercury Cougar – I ended up in charge of most of the music selecting and crowd motivating, which ended with an applause when the night was over. Immediately, I was hooked.

Mueller

Disc Jockey

If you would have asked me what I was going to do as a profession when I was in high school, disk jockey would have been the last thing I would have said. Although I was being taught radio at Fort Hayes Career Center I never thought I’d be able to do the job that was first on my list. Since that time 30 years ago I’ve been able to work in the field I wanted to…and so much more.

I am MUSIC. Ever since I was a young boy, I knew I loved music. And when I say love, I mean I LOVED music. It had an affect on me that was different from anyone else. I began to express my love in the form of singing and dancing.I was the kid who had the boombox outside when playing in the neighborhood.

Forrest

Disc Jockey

I have had a passion for music for as long as I can remember. From my time in the band playing Saxophone, to playing drums in a garage band. Unfortunately, my dream of Rock stardom did not com to pass. I did not let my lack of musicianship stop me from a career of music. I would help my brother DJ the Campus clubs, loving the way the music influenced the dancefloor. From that moment on I was hooked.

Macaluso

Disc Jockey

My love for music has always been a huge part of my life. Watching music videos on MTV TRL in the living room, I grew up trying to mimic Michael Jackson, Usher, and Justin Timberlake dance moves to use at school dances. In junior high, I was part of the Napster/Limewire generation, burning hundreds of ‘mixes’ for friends and classmates.

Terry
Figgins

Disc Jockey

I began my DJ efforts as a karaoke host in 1998 due to my love of singing. No, I won’t sing for your wedding. My singing skills are decent at best. I was mentored by one of Ohio’s premiere karaoke hosts. It was through him that I learned the basics of sound setup and the valuable tools of just being a DJ. He also taught me what I needed to know for serving as DJ for my 1st few weddings.
