Dream Entertainment Q&A with DJ Bobo: 

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

I like to watch the crowd. If the dance floor is packed I'll be keeping up the same music type. On the other hand, if the dance floor scatters when I transition into the next song then I know that music isn't cutting it. It also depends on where you dj'ing at too. You need to play an off-the-wall song at a club so they can go get drinks and take a break. When you're playing at a wedding or a birthday party,  it's specifically the songs requested by the couple or birthday person.

How would you describe your ‘style’?

I like to play anything and everything. I learned that you can talk to people by just playing music. I can remind people to get a drink, step out, and take a break, or that their loved one is special, and I'll also include a touch of comedy to keep the guests entertained.

What do you love most about your job?

I like reminding people that a certain song exists, or a type of music exists. Nowadays people are so in touch with technology and what's new,  that they forget to include the past. I always hear it, I was 16 and cruising in my Camaro with the T-tops open when I first heard this song! It's seeing the expressions and stories from people when I play a familiar song that means something to them.

What inspired you to start your DJing?

I've always loved music and have been considered a channel surfer. All my life, I've noticed most songs have a basic beat that sounds the same. I would sing other songs on top of the song playing and wonder about a mashup and basically make my own. As technology evolved, I started to follow other DJs on social media, listening to them, and learning. Shortly after I felt confident enough to try it, I bought my first controller and the rest is history.

Why should our clients choose you?

I like to bring people together through music. It makes me happy. I feel as if I could select a perfect playlist and have your dance floor full all night. I want everyone from the little kids to the elderly out there enjoying your special day. I can make it happen.
