Johnny was absolutely top of the line! He DJ 'd and MC'd our big birthday bash on a yacht for a fantastic evening! Everyone --- and I mean everyone--was up dancing and having a great time!

"Johnny is a musical talent. He blended the right mix of hip-hop, house, 80's, and 90's. And get this..he can ACTUALLY mix records together. That is rare for a DJ playing events these days.”
