What began as a way to uplift my colleagues in Kabul, as the resident DJ, quickly evolved into a full-blown passion that carried me all the way to Port-au-Prince. I suppose it was destined to be, considering my musical roots - born into a family of artists in Guyana, with the pulsating rhythms of the Caribbean ingrained in my spirit. Eight years later, my collection spans an eclectic mix from Afro, Caribbean and Latin grooves, Hip Hop & R&B, to various strains of House like Disco, Afro, Tech, French, Chicago, Drum & Bass, and Acid. I have provided DJ services at weddings, private/corporate parties, clubs and thematic events such as Hall

Petrina R. says, "Jason was absolutely amazing from start to finish! He worked with me every step of the way, making sure the music reflected exactly what we wanted. He played plenty of songs from the list I gave him and added in some perfect related bangers that kept the vibe going all night. Even when there were a couple of hiccups on my end, he handled everything with professionalism, patience, and a great attitude. His communication was excellent both during the planning process and at the event itself. I truly appreciate how Jason kept the energy flowing and made our special day even more memorable. Highly recommend!" Read more

The standard tip for a DJ ranges from 15% to 20% of their total fee, depending on the even type, duration, and complexity, and the services provided.

VIJ Entertainment will not disappoint! Jason is so personable and communicated extensively to work with me to fulfill my vision for our double grad party at the rec hall in our beach community! He kept the party lively (initially attendance was sparse, which can get awkward, but he made it light and festive and kept the up the “party” vibes! He easily and happily honored requests… even accomplished satisfying different family members with diverse tastes. His pricing is extremely reasonable!! All in all, it was a pleasure to work with Jason and his assistant at our party last night. I highly recommend his company for your DJ needs!!!

DJ Sho Off has set the mood for the UASE for the past 3 years. His intuitive selection of sounds keep the crowd immersed in our themes and our celebrity guest like Michael Jai White aka Spawn, Black Dynamite and Bronze Tiger along with Nafessa Williams aka Thunder and Blackbird from Black Lightning are definitely feeling the vibes as he helps guide the pulse of our Urban Action Expo event which focuses on diversity and honoring the multicultural achievements in the blockbuster Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi, Martial Arts, Superhero and Supernatural genres. DJ Sho Off joined our NY Comic Con event last year and helped us take our promotions to the next level. I recommend his services if you are looking for a unique entertainment experience backed by professionalism and punctuality. Just make sure you don't try to book him on my dates else we are going to have a problem! Lol
