DJ Hawkins

I would describe my DJ personality or style as extremely comfortable and precise. I like to focus on getting to know the clients and make them feel like I’m part of the family for the day. I can blend in and mingle in almost any crowd. I believe that comfortable people are always happy people.

My favorite memory of being a DJ is when I was doing a wedding that had a lot of children and I noticed the bride and all the other parents were overwhelmed so I gathered the children and kept them occupied on the dance floor just for a couple songs. Long enough to let everyone catch a breath and continue having a fun and amazing reception.

My favorite thing about being a DJ is going to work and not feeling like I am actually working. I love to socialize and I love music. Weddings and receptions are where I have been able to help people the most but I just like to put forth good energy and keep the vibe positive or warm.

I think one thing that makes me a bit unique is that I am an Army Veteran as well as an army child. I was fortunate enough to travel the world and live-in locations like Germany, South Korea, and many others which led me to learn a lot about different cultures as well as languages. I also am an artist myself and make music, I listen and search for all types and genres of music to help with my craft and in turn it gives me extensive knowledge on music overall. A specialty of mine is that I used to be the Leader of a Break-Dancing Crew throughout high school so I can bust a move and wont shy from getting on the dancefloor.

My favorite part of the night is dinner time. This is usually when I go table to table, whether I am releasing tables or not, and talk to the table and see how everyone’s feeling and find out what kind of music each individual might like. I write down more than just requests, I write down songs, artists, instruments and anything at all relating to music so I can then use it to make sure the night goes as smooth and comfortable as possible.

I became a DJ because I always wanted to work with music and people. This a great way for me to do both and also feel like I’m actually helping and improving moods and days. I love to meet new people and love the connection you get with anyone when it comes to music. This job does not feel like a job to me in the slightest. I am genuinely happy to bring moods up and help someone else find their happiness through music.

I can conversationally understand and speak a little bit of 6 different languages other than English and those are Spanish, German, Hangul (South Korean), Japanese, C++ (Coding), Java (Coding)
