Understood exactly what we needed

Mark was a great find for our wedding day. A few of our friends and guests have told us how much they enjoyed the"vibe" of our wedding and how much fun they had throughout the night--that is all thanks to Mark! From the ceremony, to the speeches, to the open dance floor, he was able to keep everything on track with no awkward pauses. Would definitely recommend using ShoDJ for your wedding!

Mark Turner - Great DJ!

Mark was great! He was flexible and very accommodating with the guest requests and the bride and groom's lack of decisiveness. He made my son's wedding a great party!

Amazing and Well-Prepared DJ

The best review of ShoDj that I can give is that we had ZERO complaints about our experience working with him leading up to and during our wedding. At our wedding we had events in 3 different rooms that we needed a DJ in, we had a very specific wedding song playlist, and even a few songs that we edited ourselves that we wanted played. We even sent him songs in different formats that we needed him to convert so he could play them. We were kind of worried going in to the wedding with so many different things going on but ShoDj came through perfectly with everything we wanted done. ShoDj has plenty of experience, was easy to reach (even on the wedding day), has high quality microphones, uplighting, and speakers, was articulate during announcements, and had a good feel for the best songs to play at the right time on the dance floor. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ on our wedding day and most importantly, ShoDj was so prepared for everything throughout the event that we did not have to worry about anything with him. Would highly recommend!!!

As a kid, music was always an avenue of interest; I was drawn to the culture and the rising of the Hip-Hop industry in the early 80s Watching BET & MTV and reading popular magazines. I was fortunate to see that same equipment in a relatives home. It made me realize that this industry was within arm’s reach.

DJing started off as just a hobby, mixing songs and playing around with different beats which eventually lead to people asking me to host events. Those opportunities lead me to become a local party and record label promoter. I never anticipated growing into a brand or becoming a locally-known DJ, but my skill evolved into a professional career.

I am a DJ for the people. Having the ability to read a crowd and capture the environment among any group or genre of music, is key for entertaining. I don’t limit myself to a style, because you then limit your versatility and growth. Music is universal, no matter the culture or background.
