How We Work
Your DJ Is Also Your Emcee
Your Metropolitan DJ will act as an emcee at your event, keeping your guests and vendors well-informed to keep the evening running smoothly.
Multi-Generational Appeal
"Being a radio DJ for many years has given me the musical knowledge to play for the grandparents, but as the night progresses I can play for the younger generation too, providing a great music mix full of artistry, passion, and energy."
Reading the Room
"I never walk into an event with a pre-programmed setlist. I have to read the energy of the crowd, react to that, and make sure that everybody is having fun."
