Where I play
One host. Any kind of night.
Karaoke, a DJ set, or both in the same evening. Tell me the occasion and the crowd, and I'll shape the night to fit.
Events
Company parties, fundraisers, reunions and community nights. I keep the program moving and the mood up, start to finish.
Parties
Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, holidays, backyard get-togethers. Family friendly when it should be, wide open when it shouldn't.
Weddings
Your songs, your pace, your families on the dance floor. We plan the music together so the day sounds like the two of you.
The promise
My main goal is simple: everyone has a great time.
The shy first-timer, the table that came to dance, the grandparents, the birthday girl. A good host reads the whole room, not just the loudest corner of it.
"You bring the people. I'll bring the party."

A playlist tailored to you
You tell me what you want to hear and what you don't. I build the night around your taste, not mine.

Always age and event appropriate
Kids in the room, a corporate crowd, a late-night bar. The music and the microphone always fit who's there.

A fun, personable host
Friendly on the mic, easy to work with, and good at getting people up who swore they'd never sing.
Two ways to run the night
Karaoke, DJ, or both.
Karaoke
Your guests are the stars. I keep the sign-ups fair, the wait short and the applause loud, so first-timers feel as welcome as the ringers.
- Songs across every genre and decade
- An encouraging host who makes it easy to get up there
- Music between singers so the energy never drops
DJ
A soundtrack that fits the moment: easy during dinner, building as the night goes on, and a full dance floor when it counts.
- Playlist planned with you ahead of time
- Announcements and introductions handled on the mic
- Requests welcome, within the tone you set

Good questions
Before you ask.
Can you do karaoke and DJ at the same event?
Yes, and it's a popular way to do it. A common plan is dinner and dancing music with a karaoke stretch in the middle, or karaoke with dance sets between singers. We'll work out the mix that suits your crowd.
What kind of music do you play?
All of it. Every event gets its own playlist based on what you and your guests want to hear. Send me your favorites and your "please don't" list and I'll take it from there.
Is it okay for kids and mixed-age crowds?
Absolutely. I keep the music and everything said on the microphone appropriate for the age group and the occasion, every time. Just tell me who's coming.
What if my guests are too shy to sing?
That's what a host is for. I keep it low pressure, get a few easy group songs going, and before long the shy ones are asking for a second turn. Nobody gets pushed and nobody gets embarrassed.
What areas do you cover?
I'm based in Sarasota and work around the Sarasota area and the nearby Gulf Coast. If you're a little farther out, ask. I'm happy to talk about it.
How much does it cost?
Venue nights start at $150, private parties at $300, events at $400 and weddings at $995. Your final price depends on the date, the length of the event and what you need. Send me the details and I'll give you the best price and value I can, in a clear quote with no surprises.
