The Knot Best of Weddings 2022
20+ years of experience
Starting back in college, I loved to sing, and was pretty good at it. Wanting to be a music teacher, I got a scholarship to be in a show choir (way before it was cool) and tuned my stage skills with my voice. After 2 years I decided to change my major to business. To make ends meet in college I started DJing, from karaoke, night clubs to corporate events. I loved entertaining and have been doing it ever since.
When I got into DJing full time I noticed the lack of professionalism and MCing abilities of a lot of DJs. I wanted to start something different, not just a guy with "2 turntables and a microphone." I wanted each event to be amazing, and that starts with not only a good DJ/MC, but great planning, knowledge and practice. I can help you make your event one everyone will talk about!

ing that got everyone out on the floor dancing, and made sure that the dance floor was full all night. He even came out and taught us all a few dances! He was fun without being corny (it's a fine line!), and the music was absolutely perfect. He knows how to read a crowd! He also chose the perfect closing song, and got everyone out on the dance floor singing and dancing together. Plus, he got some great pictures that he shared on his business' facebook page!
Seriously - I would HIGHLY recommend Rusty to anyone looking for a DJ. I can't imagine our reception with anyone else!
