David Cruz
DJ / CEO
Multi-instrumentalist, composer, and music-aficionado David Cruz (also known as Jams Bond) brings a crate of unique and diverse talent to the helm of every party. In the DJ booth, he not only showcases his mastery with seamless transitions and impressive tricks on the decks but also delivers a feel-good selection that keeps the energy soaring. His home base is in the Hudson Valley, while performing events and clubs in Brooklyn and NYC often. His list of residencies include Bembe, Nublu, Miss Favela, and the Hudson Valley skate rink, Skate Time. He’s rocked NYC venues such as Norwood, Le Bain, Beauty & Essex, Capitale, Chelsea Music Hall, and Output to name a few. David has traveled the world and has an extensive resume, performing in Berlin, Tokyo, Beirut, Dominican Republic, Turks and Caicos, and the Bahamas. He’s a Bronx-born musician who got his first taste for music from his self-professed, Woodstock-hippie mom. He started listening to rock and psychedelic hits as a kid, and the first records he spun were Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours with songs such as “Dreams” and “The Chain”—they just so happened to be played from a Fisher Price kid’s record player. Fast forward to today, David’s sets allow for dance-floor goers to feel complete liberation via his eclectic taste, leaning more into electronic-flavored styles such as nu-disco, house, techno, drum and bass, Latin, Brazilian, afrobeats, hip hop & reggaeton. As of late 2023 into 2024, you’ll find David in the epicenter of the emerging dance music scene in Kingston, NY. He began his art and electronic-music centered party, “Kingston Techno” in the summer of 2023 with underground raves and epic sold-out parties. He’s a major contributor to the “Bombón” and “The Audacity” parties which are also picking up steam and are sure to be wild events to be a part of if you’re near the Hudson Valley! Don’t be mistaken, even though he tends to stay away from Pop in his everyday listening, it surely

Book Jams Bond for your wedding NOW, before someone else does!!
I cannot say enough positive things about David 'Jams Bond's DJing of our destination wedding in the DR. I honestly...
would credit much of our wedding's success to him.
David got ALL the guests up dancing (even my very shy mother-in-law), played songs we requested at the EXACT right times, as well as songs that matched the vibe we were trying to create, and overall, just curated such a celebratory and beautiful atmosphere. It was like someone was looking inside my head to create the perfect set list. He also incorporated Arabic music in, per my request, since my family is Lebanese and did his own research on popular songs which was so appreciated.
We had many people come up to us after the wedding to ask who in the world that amazing DJ was. And some of my friends will go to parties he DJs in New York because he's that good.
Beyond setting the tone, David was also very professional and positive leading up to the wedding. We had two video calls with him beforehand to discuss what we were looking for. He asked probing questions and I could tell he really was interested in understanding what kind of vibe we were looking for.
100/10 recommend. If you're looking to have a wedding where every single guest is on the dancefloor. Book him today.

On the day of the wedding, he exceeded all expectations. He was so personable, energetic, and genuinely invested in making our day special. He created such a fun, lively atmosphere, and our guests are still raving about him! The dance floor was packed all night, which is exactly what we hoped for.
We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. David made our celebration unforgettable. We are fans for life and would recommend him to anyone without hesitation!

There aren’t enough stars on this site.
David was an absolute superstar at our wedding! He turned our reception into a private night at the club and the dance floor was full THE ...
ENTIRE NIGHT. As if that wasn’t enough, he stepped outside of his normal routine to EmCee for us in multiple languages and even hosted one of our wedding games in Spanish. Our international guests were more than pleased with his accommodation. If you’re looking for an ordinary DJ go somewhere else. If you’re looking for the EXTRAordinary DJ that advocates for your schedule and wishes, communicates diligently, and even pushes the venue to give you some more time on the dance floor, you NEED David Cruz a.k.a DJ Jams Bond!!

We hired David to run karaoke for our wedding afterparty in Hudson, NY and cannot recommend him highly enough. David was extremely professional, organized, and easy to work with. H...
e scheduled a few calls with us before the big day to talk through our music preferences, event flow, and physical setup at the venue; visited the venue in advance to check out the A/V equipment and layout of the space; and came prepared with all the necessary tech, karaoke software, and even little slips of paper and pencils for guests to make song requests. During the event, he seamlessly MC'ed, bringing just the right amount of energy to keep the excitement going without being overbearing or cheesy. David was super thoughtful about every detail, from where to set up the karaoke screen so that singers wouldn't have their backs to the audience to which songs to save for last to end on a high note. His warm, sweet personality was just the cherry on top that made planning this event all the more fun! The afterparty was one of our favorite parts of our wedding and we really have David to thank for that.

gotten so many compliments from friends and family! We really appreciated how thoughtful, friendly and enthusiastic David was, both in our video meeting before our event and on the day-of. He took the time to get to know our music tastes and concerts we’ve been to, and crafted the perfect soundtrack for us. So many of our favorite songs are now ingrained in our memories as part of our wedding celebration, and for that we’re so thankful. David was very intentional in the flow of the evening, avoiding over-played songs and making sure everyone had a great time.
Without hesitation, we highly recommend David for any event!!

night. The set he crafted was perfect. Every single song hit, and the energy on the dance floor never let up. Our guests were dancing from the moment the music started until the very last song, and we’re still getting compliments on how amazing the music was.
On top of that, David coordinated effortlessly with a surprise performer we had planned mid-set. He made the handoff completely seamless and kept the vibe going without a hitch. David was warm, professional, and absolutely electric behind the booth. We can’t recommend him highly enough, he really made the night unforgettable.

We were fans of DJ Jams Bond after hearing him play at different venues in the greater Kingston area, but flying him out to DJ our wedding on Maui was **by far** the best wedding p...
lanning decision we made. David (or DJ Jams Bond if you're formal) was a consummate professional throughout -- providing us with prompt replies, meeting with us multiple times before the wedding week, giving us helpful timelines for the ceremony and reception (better than our actual wedding planner!), gelling our respective music playlists, and helping us create the perfect wedding vibe. We were **particularly** impressed that David was able to plan for and handle all of the equipment logistics while SIX THOUSAND MILES AWAY from our wedding venue.
From start to finish, David was thoroughly organized, prepared and ready to handle all the unexpected things that come up during a wedding. DJ Jams Bond provided us and our guests with an amazing experience that exceeded our expectations. David's the best!

nd reassuring. He took the time to truly understand what we wanted, and it showed in every second of the music he played.
One of the things we appreciated most was how he completely avoided the overplayed, cliché wedding songs you hear at every reception. Instead, he crafted a unique setlist that reflected our personalities and tastes.
He was also totally open to requests, but never let them disrupt the vibe. Everything felt intentional and well-curated. His attention to detail during the planning process was top-notch, and he made us feel confident that the music was one part of the day we didn’t have to worry about.
Thanks to him, our dance floor was full from the first song to the last. If you want a DJ who truly gets it and who will go above and beyond to make your day unforgettable, look no further.
