How did you get started in this business?
I started out, in high school, as a band member. At the time I played trumpet, and bass guitar. As I progressed in the field I put together my own band playing keyboards. Later I added DJ and became a popular karaoke host. As I continued to get more involved in the entertainment industry before I knew it I became a full service entertainment company. If I don't have what is needed, which is rare, I usually know where to obtain it.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with event planners for private and corporate events. Other customers have been for wedding receptions, karaoke for public and private events, political events, car dealership, various city outdoor festivals and private events, birthday parties, City of Chicago senior citizen reoccurring programs, 3 to 16 piece bands, recording and duplication services, and private resident events.
