Dream Entertainment Q&A with Ben: 

What’s the secret to keeping a party dancing all night long?
The key to keeping the party alive is to watch the crowd, a good DJ knows how to read what people want by their actions, and the music needs to flow with the people in the room to keep everyone moving.

How would you describe your ‘style’?
My style when performing is fun and energetic, I love to make people laugh and have fun. While I was in the Marines I learned that professionalism is key to success, I strive for professionalism in everything I do.

What do you love most about your job?
Mostly I love to meet new people and experience life, in this line of work, I get to meet people from many different walks of life and faith groups. I was told once "Do a job you love and never work a day in your life", I love my job!

What inspired you to start your own business?
I have worked in several different fields, from Joining the Marines at 18 to selling cars and being a service advisor at a local dealership. Sales is a very stressful job so when I started to DJ I did it as a way to relax and have fun, through the years it has become something that I do full time and I love every minute of it.

Why should our clients choose you?
My clients choose me for my professionalism and how I can make people feel comfortable, from the initial meet through the event, and beyond. I have had many repeat customers that say they "Wouldn't go with anyone else because of how easy he makes the process."
