DJ Style
Troy’s style can be described as “Fun, Refined, & Contemporary”. He strives to be different & unique. Troy does not play “Gangnam Style”, “YMCA”, or “Electric Slide” type songs commonly played by DJs unless specifically requested. He keeps his dance floor filled by relying on his music knowledge & club style mixing skills to play a more contemporary blend of music.
As an Emcee Troy refrains from being over the top, he does not to tell jokes, long stories, or tries to be the center of attention. Instead he makes introductions & announcements in tasteful, clear & concise manner. Troy does not have a fixed routine & is passionate about making every event unique & special.
Wedding Philosophy
Troy believes that the difference between a good wedding & a great wedding is a combination of all the little things. “There is not one single thing you can do to make a reception great. It is the finer smaller elements all coming together that make a great reception.”
Troy’s also believe that there is no need for a wedding DJ to “put on a show”. He feels that energy & emotion existing within the bride & groom & their family & friends. “A skilled DJ will draw out energy & emotion by playing the right music at the right time, saying the right things, & by staging & coordinating the right activities.”
Many DJs make the mistake on focusing just on dance music. Although Troy is known for phenomenally packed dance floors he focuses on the entire reception and will tie all sections of your reception together with the right atmosphere, music and flow.
