Client Reflections
What makes him a truly extraordinary DJ is his innate ability to read the crowd and sense exactly what track will take them to the next level and keep the party rocking.

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.”
