Well, I finally did it... I went out on my own after working with Dana House for the last 6 years... I figured it was about time that I reaped the benefits for all of the hard work I put into being a good DJ... I started working with Dana part time, and ended up playing most of the music myself, almost full time... From my days of building a crowd at the Club Cigar, the JBART, and the various other venues that we frequented, I learned that for me, being a DJ was something I could excel at, and became very passionate about... Of course, a love of music certainly helped me along the way... I also enjoyed being able to manipulate the crowd with the subtle click of a button, taking them from a frenzy down to a sense of calm, and vice-versa... The contacts I made and the people that I came to know all wondered why I wasn't out on my own, and a simple sense of loyalty to a good friend held me back... When I saw how many people started to request my services for wedding receptions, my thinking slowly started to change... I now play music for over twenty wedding receptions a year, and have started to make a move toward more events as well, such as Christmas parties... I'm sure that I will continue to pursue some club nights, but will limit them to mostly big events, such as Halloween and New Year's Eve... Regardless of what the future holds for me, I am very happy to finally be out on my own...
