Jim Collins

DJ and Owner

Music triggers so many memories and emotions. If you stop and think about it, I bet when you hear a song from your past, there is a memory associated with it. Maybe a song that reminds you or a friend, family member, or time in your life? How about a song that comes to mind that was playing in the background when you first met your fiancé, on your first date, or during your first kiss? There’s nothing better than being able to combine music with a celebration of two people and create moments that result in emotional reactions.

My performance journey began at the age of seven. My family talked me into singing at a talent show at the elementary school I attended. It was in a brightly lit school gym, packed with 800 parents, students and faculty. I was terrified! There was nowhere to hide except behind the microphone. I closed my eyes, let myself go with the melody of the song. At the last note of the song, I opened my eyes and people were out of their seats applauding and cheering. I loved the idea of being able to connect with so many people at the same time through melody and music. I continued writing music and performing live all throughout middle and high school. After high school, I moved out to Boston where I played in a band with the former drummer of the band Boston, Sib Hashian. I was able to learn how to entertain large audiences of people and become a better performer. Music is in my blood.

DJ

“I’ve been in the entertainment and music industry for most of my life. When I was thirteen years my parents got me a bass guitar. I started playing in bands within a couple of weeks and was playing shows every weekend by the time I was in high school. I attended HCC to pursue my audio engineering degree. That transitioned perfectly into DJing.

I love helping couples achieve the ultimate wedding experience! When I’m preparing for a wedding I am always searching for new ways to make each celebration unique. I love helping couples create a vision for their special day and ensure that vision becomes a reality.”

Songs currently played in my car on the ride to events: “High Hopes” by Panic At The Disco, “Gasolina” by Daddy Yankee, “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen, “ABC” by The Jackson 5, “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X.

“Music is a big part of my busy life and will always define who I am as a person. I started DJing at a young age and transitioned into doing mainly weddings because I found myself bonding with my brides and grooms and making their day, the best day of their lives. With my extroverted personality and my ability to custom fit everything even in the last minutes, I have found the perfect recipe for success. And let’s face it, there are not many instances where you can say a doctor was your wedding DJ.”

Songs currently played on my car ride to events: “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X, “Callaita” by Bad Bunny, “I gotta feeling” by The Back Eyed Pees and “Uptown funk” by Mark Ronson.

DJ

“As an artist who has a deep connection to music, I understand its power to transform the crowd. With a broad knowledge of all forms of popular music from EDM to hip-hop to classic rock to underground techno, as well as a variety of DJ events under my belt, I have an intuitive sense about what songs work for every situation and crowd. I am able to combine spontaneity with planned music to create the perfect energy for every moment. As a graduate of Scratch DJ Academy’s professional DJ program, I have a strong sense for technical mixing and scratching. I love out-of-the-box song selections and genre-blending, but also love playing Top 40 to rock the crowd.

In addition to being a DJ, I am a songwriter, producer, singer, and keyboard player who knows music inside and out. And I’m not just a club-going party animal; I’m ivy-league educated. I have great energy, and take great pride in bringing smiles and memories to people through music.”

Songs currently played in my car on the ride to events: “Sicko Mode” by Travis Scott, “Show me Love” by Armin van Buuren, “Shine on You Crazy Diamond” by Pink Floyd, “Paradise City” by Guns and Roses, “Mo Bamba” by Sheck Wes, “Big Poppa” by the Notorious B.I.G. and “Is This Love” by Bob Marley.

Maurice Charles

DJ

“Born and raised in the Bronx, I grew up in a city that was considered the mecca of music and the birthplace of the original DJ. I was inspired to begin Djing in the summer of 1993 where I was inspired by such legendary acts as Grandmaster Flash, DJ Kool Herc and Jam Master Jay.

From a young age, I had the gift of creating great music. I studied for years playing several instruments including piano, guitar, bass and drums. Even though I continued playing music for many years, the passion of Djing was always there.

When I’m not performing, I spend all of my time with my beautiful wife and 3 children. I specialize in entertainment for special events and also promoting my radio shows. Enteraining people is my passion. I love what I do!
I have developed a unique universal sound where I can play and enjoy any type of music from any genre of music. I am very energetic, funny and charismatic while maintaining a great state of professionalism like no other can. So with that being said, let’s create the greatest party in history together!”

Here are some of the songs that I currently play on my playlist before doing events: “Party Rock Anthem,” by LMFAO and Lauren Bennett, “Shake It Off,” by Taylor Swift, “Yeah!” By Usher,” Lil Jon and Ludacris, “Moves Like Jagger,” by Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera, “Jump Around,” by House of Pain”, “Riptide,” by Vance Joy, “Mambo No. 5,” by Lou Bega.
