What’s the secret to keeping a party dancing all night long?

There is no one answer to that question - each event, and the people attending it, is unique. However there are several things that can be done to maximize the desired outcome. One big consideration is logistical. Always (whenever possible) try to have the dance floor in the main room. When it comes to dancing, people generally don't like to be 'put on the spot' (i.e. You must dance now!). People need to be free to socialize (around a bar, for example) and then they can be coaxed onto the dance floor when they hear their favorite song(s) and see others out there having a good time. I have always found it useful to rotate among the various musical genres and to keep an eye out to see what the audience responds to. Very often, there is a 'trigger song' which will get everyone on the dance floor and, from then on, it's all about momentum!

How would you describe your ‘style’?

If I were to use one word to describe 'my style', that word would be 'Eclectic'. Before I became a DJ in the 1990's, I was a fan of Classic Rock, classical music and jazz. During the years that I have been hosting event, I have become thoroughly familiar with the myriad of musical genres out there and I have come to appreciate the uniqueness that they bring to the world of music. When I'm doing an event, I am able to (almost unconsciously) mirror the general tastes of the crowd be it Country, Urban, Alternative or Latin. Of course every group attending an event have varying musical tastes and I have learned to seamlessly move among the various genres, using, what I call 'bridge songs' to provide a smooth segue between them.

What do you love most about your job?

While I enjoy DJing and hosting a variety of different events (Birthdays, Anniversaries, Bar & Bat Mitzvahs, Quinceaneras, etc.), my particular favorite is Weddings! I have the opportunity to meet (and get to know) a variety of different people as they begin their new lives together. I am always learning and augmenting my experience with the variety of different wedding traditions from different cultures and backgrounds. It is a particular thrill for me to help provide people with a day that they have always dreamed about, one that they will recall with fondness in the years to come!

What inspired you to start your own business?

I am not the owner of TDC Entertainment, but I have been with the owner, Tom Collett for over 20 years! Tom is the PA voice of Florida Gator Basketball, Gymnastics and the radio voice of Lady Gator Volleyball. He founded TDC Entertainment in 1986 after working for a time with ESPN in various capacities. His natural way with people and his ability to entertain at various events led, naturally, to the formation of his own company, where he has been able to utilize his natural talents. I met Tom in the early '90's at a venue where he hosted a weekly karaoke show. My love of music and people led to an association with him, and my ultimately joining his company. We're still going strong here in 2018!

Why should our clients choose you?

There are many DJ companies out there, but I believe what sets us apart is our love of the business and our particular attention to people and details. While there are a plethora of popular songs that people expect to (and want to) hear at an event, everyone has particular and individual musical tastes. We avoid the trap (which I've seen many other DJ's fall into) of ending up doing 'Cookie-Cutter' events, playing, virtually, the same music each time. We are able to do this by getting to know the people who hire us, finding out all of their particular likes (and dislikes), and blending it into an event which will reflect their distinctiveness and individuality, while, at the same time, providing all of their guests with a fun-filled evening! It all ties in with our company motto....At TDC Entertainment - It's All About You!!
