Alison & Mike
DJ
DJ1UP was fantastic to work with from the time we hired him through the whole process and on our special day. He was very organized and ensured he knew everything regarding our music and the names of everyone being introduced. He was very smooth on the microphone and he and his teammate Noel kept everyone dancing and having fun the whole night! We highly recommend Damion and his crew for weddings or any other events requiring a DJ! More...

Damion and his team were amazing! Damion helped our school with two winter dances, each having over 600 students and parents. The kids sang along and danced and the music was awesome! Our school would not hesitate to hire Damion and his company in the future! We would recommend him in the highest regard! Thank you, Damion! More...

I truly enjoyed working with Damion and his DJ partner Noel (sp?). Damion did his best to cover all the bases with the songs and the different events and understand the tone and the style we were going for… He was very patient with me and when I came up with very late responses, he just went with the flow and helped make the wedding a success. All the planning was very rushed on my end, and he just stood by and tried to help me make the most of it. I ended up not even doing half the stuff I had planned, he had to tee up a lot of songs and introductions that we didn’t end up doing but he wasn’t mad that he had done the work and then I decided not to do it. He just did his best to make sure everything went smoothly, made announcements when I asked him to, and went with whatever came up as I did everything off the cuff. Noel went around and got everyone to say something and kept the party lively; he was the “hype” man that creates a fun atmosphere. The dance music was flowing, he even let me karaoke a song. I was a little frazzled that day, and they really took the pressure off, made me realize that everything was fine, and helped make it a good time. They really came through for me and I highly recommend them to anyone else!! Damion and Noel, thank you! More...

Firstly Dj 1up was very early at the venue in setting up and doing his music checks to ensure everything sounded on point. He was dressed very professional and appropriately for the occasion , which is the wedding he was playing at and he spoke to everyone find out if there’s anything we needed in particular otherwise from that what was on the list to be played or anything extra that he could do. He was very accommodating, Dj 1up was the best Dj we could’ve asked for , it’s like he knew exactly what to play to keep everyone dancing and moving all night. Honestly he’s the best at what he does , he’s awesome and whenever I’m having another event I’ll most definitely need him . I will recommend 10/10 in our book. More...

What’s the secret to keeping a party dancing all night long?
The most important factor in getting people dancing is playing the right music. I
talk to each client to make sure we get a sense of the age range and musical tastes of the guests. The tempo and genres are mixed up throughout the night to keep things interesting.
A high level of energy is maintained throughout the night. The DJ pays attention to the crowd and adjusts accordingly. The DJ will also engage with the crowd to get them more involved. Encourage people to sing along, clap, or dance together in groups.
Song hits are played that everyone knows and loves. These are the songs will get people up and dancing without fail, and they can also serve as great transition points between different genres or styles of music.
How would you describe your ‘style’?
As a DJ, I strive to create an atmosphere that is both engaging and enjoyable for my audience. My style is eclectic, combining elements of different genres to create a unique sound that keeps the crowd moving. I also have experience with live mixing and beat matching, which allows me to provide seamless transitions between songs. Ultimately, I want everyone to leave feeling like they had a great time and were part of something special.
What do you love most about your job?
I love working with music, watching people have a great time, dropping all the stress, dancing, mingling, laughing, smiling, and enjoying life—the ability to change work settings with new projects with different people in different places.
Why should our clients choose you?
My experience and passion for DJing make me stand out as a DJ. I have been a professional DJ for over 12 years, playing at various venues and events in the DMV area. During this time, I have developed an extensive knowledge of music genres, allowing me to create unique sets tailored to any audience.
In addition to my technical skills, I am passionate about creating an entertaining atmosphere. I strive to ensure everyone in attendance is having a great time by engaging with the crowd and reading their energy. My goal is to ensure that everyone leaves feeling satisfied and energized.
