Am I willing to discuss music selections ahead of time and willing to play requests, particularly if they are suitable for dancing?
Yes. It is impossible for anyone to know everything there is to know about music and entertainment, so I am more than willing to listen to your ideas and input. I make myself available prior to your function to discuss your ideas and input. Special requests are not a problem and I am willing to listen to requests and play them where I think they are appropriate. One of the “special” skills that a DJ posses is the ability to play the correct music at the correct time so I will try my best to communicate this to the eager requesters. I usually don’t just go down a list of requests like a robot. Also, I always get those “random” requests that are not appropriate for the crowd and again, I will communicate that to the requester and work with them to select a more appropriate song. The personality of the DJ and their ability to interact with the crowd is critical to a successful event. One of my biggest “compliments” is how approachable I am at an event.
