WHO WE WANT
 

We're looking for individuals who are organized, dependable, strong communicators, love music & live events, and who are passionate about building relationships and helping people on big days.

Seventy percent of our business is doing weddings, so you must truly enjoy all things wedding-related and working closely with couples and other event professionals.

We provide all training on equipment, event structure/execution, and the entire DJ and/or Photo Booth process from booking through event completion. What we cannot teach and are looking for is personality, attitude, character, communication, organization, diligence, and a love of music and people.

We’re only looking for the best people and those willing to be coached. 

WHY YOU SHOULD (or shouldn't)

WORK HERE
 

DO APPLY FOR THIS JOB: if you love people more than music, are organized, communicate well, have boatloads of integrity, and can confidently lead a room of 200+ people. You're both humble & hungry, willing to learn, and know that it's going to take some time and hard work to build trust in each other, learn our systems & make you an all-around event professional and industry leader.

If you have the work ethic & right attitude, you'll have all the work you'd ever want after 6-9 months and be able to say you're part of one of the top DJ companies in the country.

DO NOT APPLY FOR THIS JOB: if you have a "me-first" attitude and an ego that can't be put aside, if you're only in it for the music, and if you're looking for a quick payday. Our life's work is people's life moments, so we take the time to vet our people, build trust in each other, and fully prepare you to be all-around event professionals that create transcendent, unparalleled events.

WHY YOU'LL SUCCEED HERE

We'll give you all the industry accolodes below of why we're one of the best places you could choose to join and learn from. But that list...all results from our people, behaviors and system. And that's the simplicity of it. Our incredible results...are a result of dedicated behaviors...that start with committed people. 

We won't let you fail. But we also can't want it more than you.

You need to want it. And want to work for it.

Here are our Core Values we look for in our team:

Self-Awareness & Coachability

Character & Integrity

Above & Beyond Work Ethic

People-Focused
Connector & Communicator

We don't hide the fact that it's hard getting started with us. You're going to put in over 100 unpaid hours at the start as we teach you things, have you shadow, and spend time vetting each other. It's takes some time to build trust. We don't expect you to give up everything for us right away, just as we can't trust you with our life's work, and with our client's life moments, right away. But if you're in it for the long haul and put in the work, we promise this will be a job that will bring you tremendous joy & change your life for the better.

EXPERIENCED DJS
 

Thank you for considering bringing your talents to our team! We love bringing experienced DJs to our team and have several DJs who found it better to actually dissolve their own businesses and DJ with us than try to do their own thing. I know you've worked hard to build up your business, brand & skills and that you want to find the right place to trust those abilities and see them flourish. 

I like to tackle some hard topics head on. Because with your experience also comes a certain way you're accustomed of doing things. And sometimes they may not sync up with how we operate. So I like to hit some stuff head-on to see if it makes sense to keep talking. Here are some common topics & our approach.

"I had plenty of experience. Do I still need to go through your unpaid onboarding?"

Yes. I absolutely respect your experience. But the reality is you don't know how we operate, our brand, our differentiating factors, our partners, etc. You don't know us. AND...I don't know you. I've likely never seen you DJ, nor have any of our trusted referral partners. So before I trust my life's work to you, my team's way of making a living, and some of our client's biggest events...we have to spend some time getting to know each other to ensure it's a fit. I do realize that may be a deal-breaker, but I hope you understand my position also.

 "I have plenty of experience. I expect to be paid at a higher tier than some of your other DJs."

Again, I understand where you are coming from. But like above, I don't have much to go on to see your experience. If you have hundreds of reviews online you can show me, then yes - you'll start at a higher pay scale. But if there isn't reviews written somewhere online from past wedding or corporate clients, then I need to SEE what you're capable of. This is going to come off the wrong way, but I still need to say it: "Experience doesn't always mean good." I've met plenty of DJs who've been doing things for a long time, but weren't great. And in the mobile DJ world, a great DJ isn't just a DJ who can mix. It's someone who can choose the right songs, read a room on the fly, engage a crowd on a microphone, dissolve a difficult situation, impress the couple's parents or the company boss, make guests feel welcome, work effectively with vendor partners, troubleshoot any technical scenario that may come up...within seconds, and the list goes on. Oh...and they can mix too. I WANT experienced DJs on our team. So if you come to us and SHOW that you're freaking awesome, then yes - you'll move up the pay scale faster because of how you PERFORM WITH US. I believe in TAKING CARE OF GREAT PROFESSIONALS AND WANTING YOU TO BE HERE FOR A LONG TIME. What I need first is for you to SHOW me how good you are. And to also realize that the driving factor that measures how good you are...is WHAT YOUR CLIENTS and COLLEAGUES SAY.

 "I have my own equipment."

I love when DJs have their own equipment. And because of that, those on our team who have a FULL SET of equipment get paid extra. But here's the tricky part...what you have for equipment...probably isn't to the degree of what we provide our clients. And here's what I meant by that:

I don't care what brand your equipment is necessarily. But it does have to provide the same consistent sound and look as the rest of our company. We have over 10 complete rigs of equipment, plus another 10 sets that we've bought for team members. We have over 40 sets of EV speakers for example. When venues or planners refer us for example, they've seen 10+ DJs come through from our company with nearly identical equipment, all sounding and looking great. So no matter what brand you have, it has to be aesthetically pleasing and of course, sound great! All our speakers are self-amplified and at least 1,000 watts. Some are on poles, some are EV Evolve towers. All our ceremony speakers are either 8/10/12-inches, 800 watts, and again sound great. They go out with every rig in addition to main setup speakers. So a FULL SET for example involves (4) speakers. Oftentimes, you'll want a 5th for when cocktail hour is somewhere else. And you must be able to run 3-4 mics as that's common during ceremonies. Essentially...we carry alot of equipment. Because we want everything to be setup in advance and things not having to be moved around during an event. We also carry backups on hand to be safe, and we account for the endless things that can pop up with mobile DJing. So it's not likely you have everything we need you to have. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

HERE'S HOW WE HANDLE EQUIPMENT:

You can use our equipment if desired. You pay a $500/year rental fee to use our equipment. It'll be assigned to you each gig and you check it in & out weekly. You'd have everything you need for each gig. But of course, that also means it's shared equipment and that can give some headaches certainly. And it also means drive time to/from storage. So for those who want to truly have their own (CDJP-approved) set of equipment, we'll help you get it! We'll share with you the full list of equipment you'd need to have. In some cases, we'll even buy it for you and establish a repayment plan. When it's fully paid for, then you start getting that extra money per gig. Which also means it's going to essentially pay for itself. We WANT you to have your own stuff and we're here to HELP you however we can. We just like to address that head on because people have varying opinions on what's needed. Our goal is to put you in a position to rock every event and be prepared for anything that goes wrong or gets thrown your way. And also to find gear that makes things not only look and sound great...but is easier to set up also. Who doesn't love that?!

 "Do you have a non-compete?"

Yes. All our team is exclusive to us and signs a non-compete. We do make addendums to the non-compete for certain situations, like while onboarding for example. But once through training, you would be exclusive with our team. With over 2,500 inquiries to our business each year...1,000 events performed each year...and another 300+ gigs turned away yearly due to high demand...you'll have plenty of work with us. You are free to pursue opportunities in areas we don't service, such as weekly bar gigs or festivals. But if that is your focus, we wouldn't be the right fit for you. There would inherently be issues with availability, and ideal team member is one whose focus is also on the wedding and corporate/private/sports event industry.
