Experience
The Masters of the Ceremony is owned and operated by Adolphus "Danja Mowf" Maples. The son of a 70's soul singer, Maples enjoyed sifting through and listening to his father’s records, 8-tracks and reel-to-reels as a child. After falling in love with hip-hop in the 80s, he began producing songs in the 90s while utilizing his father's records. Shortly thereafter, he signed a major record deal as a rapper, joining the likes of Missy Elliot and Aaliyah. Today he is a professional radio DJ and the perfect person to trust with your special day.

Hire them!!!

Listen to me, hire them!!! You will not regret it. Our wedding was this past weekend and Danja as our DJ went above and beyond our expectations. He was super professional and took his job very seriously.
He kept the party going all night and played music for everyone in our crowd. No only was the music on point, but he also provided Cold Sparklers, Dancing on a Cloud and the Audio Phone Guestbook. Absolutely top tier quality service. We have received so many compliments from our guest. Everyone enjoyed our wedding and it’s because the Master of Ceremony (Danja Mowf) did his thing. I repeat, HIRE THEM…YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!

Amazing dj!

ABSOLUTELY the BEST DJ you can EVER ask for! From the professionalism to the party. Wow, every piece was smooth and exactly how we imagined our wedding to be, actually the party was WAYYYYYY better than what we could've ever imagined. He was able to feel out the crowd and bring everyone to the dance floor. 100% recommend!!! Oh lets not forget how great his team was, everyone was super friendly and helpful. The photobooth is a MUST!
