Inquiring minds need to know.

You probably have some questions about planning a successful event. I've chosen to address some of the more popular ones below. If you have a question that's not answered here, please email it to me at boomer@djboomer.net. I'll send you a response. Pronto.

What sets my company apart from others?
More than two decades of experience performing at more corporate events than any other company in New York, Orlando & the Treasure Coast uniquely positions me as the leader in the region.

Who am I?
I have an enormous amount of entertainment experience. Relative to the amount of events at which I perform every year, my company is rather small. This is by design; being a one man operation  allows us to keep the quality of my performances very high. And because I work for myself, I am constantly performing, which keeps my skills sharp at all times.

I'm going to need a lot of guidance as I plan the event. Can you help?
I'll help you carefully plan every detail. And if you're looking for interesting ideas to make your party particularly distinctive, I've got plenty to suggest.

How will you handle the master of ceremonies responsibilities? How will you interact with my guests?
Your call. I am an eloquent MCs and will host your entire event, unless you request otherwise. I'll be as involved or uninvolved as you'd like me to be. I am a versatile performer who has the ability to be outgoing and entertaining when it's requested, but can also be reserved and low-key if that's your preferred style. What I'll never be is overbearing or an embarrassing ham on the microphone. The focus of attention will always remain on you and your guests, the stars of the day.

How far in advance should I reserve my date?
I generally begin booking dates anywhere from six to twelve months in advance. Since I can only perform at a limited amount of events per weekend, I strongly recommend that you contact me as soon as possible to check on the availability status of your date. By the same token, if for some reason you find yourself in a situation where you need a DJ last-minute, please call me. I'll make every possible effort to help you.

If we book you for a certain amount of hours and then decide that night that we’d like you to perform longer, is that a problem?
As long as it’s an evening event, I’ll stay for as long as you’d like for a minimal fee.

How much choice do I have in the music selection?
As much as you'd like. Occasionally people decide to hand-pick each and every song that's played at their event, which is perfectly fine, but it's not necessary. I'll ask you to request as many specific songs and genres that you like to hear and ask you lots of questions about your preferences. With this information, we'll craft a custom-designed music menu for your event.

Funny thing. I love music and listen to it all the time, but I never seem to know the names of songs or artists. How do I tell you what I like?
A very common predicament. You might be surprised to find out how many people are in the same musical boat. Once again, this is an area where I come in handy. I consider myself an accomplished tune detectives. Know a song title but not the singer? Just know some of the lyrics? give me a call and hum a few bars and I'll help you attempt to figure out just what it is you're looking for. I'll help you design a music format that perfectly reflects your taste.

There are songs that we definitely don’t want played at our event. How do we make certain that we won't hear those wretched tunes?
I'll strongly encourage you to give me a "don't play" list of music, and I will absolutely abide by it. You won't hear any unwelcome surprises at your event.

Do you play guests' requests?
That's completely up to you. If, however, you'd prefer that I not take requests, that's also fine and I'll just stick to what you've chosen.

How many songs will be played during our event?
The average song is about three to four minutes long, so you can figure that approximately twelve to fifteen songs can be played per hour.

I'm concerned about the volume level. How do you effectively control it?
I am very conscious of the fact that no one wants to listen to music at an uncomfortably high volume, and that people have different sensitivity levels. That's why I'll constantly monitor the sound intensity throughout the course of your event. My dynamic sound system allows me to create an environment that's conducive to both dancing and socializing.

Do you take breaks?
Nope. You'll hear continuous music from beginning to end - an uninterrupted flow of seamlessly mixed music.

What time will my you arrive at the facility?
Your usually arrive forty-five minutes to an hour before your scheduled start time to prepare.

Do you put up any signs or banners?
Absolutely not. I’ll be at your event to entertain, not to advertise.

What if, due to an emergency, my you can't make it to the event?
 In more than two decades of doing business, I am happy to say i have never missed a performance.

How much gratuity is appropriate?
Please note that a gratuity is not included in your balance due. People generally tip 10% to 15% of the total payment.

We’re still deciding between a band or a DJ. Any advice?
Bands can certainly be great at parties, but they do have a lot of limitations. Regardless of how talented a band is, it's impossible for them to sound just like the original artists. Also, no matter how large their repertoire is, it’s still quite limited when you compare it to what I offer; I can play literally any song that you'd like to hear. Another important difference between a band and me is that I don’t take breaks; the music will be continuous from beginning to end. One more thing: We can easily control the volume from a single switch and keep it at an appropriate level at all times. It's very difficult, however, for a live singer not to powerfully belt out a tune or a percussionist not to whack the drums so hard.

How long have you been in business?
I've been entertaining since 1982
