Born in Detroit with the soulful sounds of Motown flowing through my veins, I currently rock out in Rochester, Michigan.ma
Before becoming a Disc Jockey I spent 15 years in the restaurant business, which gives me tremendous insight into coordinating every aspect of your reception.
I am convinced numerous reception sites recommend me not only for my DJ skills, but because I have an intimate understanding and respect of what caterers call the ‘back of the house.’ There is no nicer compliment than to walk into a venue and have the staff say, ‘So glad it’s you M.A.!’
When it comes to music, my passion runs the gamut — from Coltrane jazz (thanks to my dad for taking his 14-year-old daughter to Bakers) and funk (from my glory days at the roller rink where I first started spinning in high school) — to Queen, E.W.F., and JT. My favorite genre , if pressed to choose is Motown and Old Soul; Stevie, Otis, Sam, Jackie, MJ, and Aretha; and a personal fav, James Brown’s “Get Up Offa That Thing” does hilarious and fabulous things to a dance floor! Country music isn’t my favorite and I tell you this because if you are a lover of Country, and want a heavy concentration of country tunes, there are possibly better DJ’s for you; but I will admit that I still get choked up during a parent dance to Rascal Flatt’s “My Wish.”
I don’t just play music, I feel it, and I understand the power it has to transform a room.
