First and always, a sincere thank you to all of you who have trusted me with your very special day.
I can not tell you in words, how it humbles me, to have so many appreciate what I do, and that so many of you continue to recommend me to family, co-workers, friends and strangers. God bless you and thank you.
I am blessed to be apart of, and have so many memories.

With so many weddings on my schedule, it's a rare occasion that I get an opportunity to perform for the under 18 crowd. I must say it was a refreshing change.
Perris' birthday, held at the beautiful Doubletree Hotel at 700 King St., in Willmington, De., was a Battle Of The Crews Theme. Various dance crews from Delaware joined Perris to celebrate his birthday in battle... on the dance floor.
The music was loud and fast. Batlimore Club, Urban Hip Hop, a few line dances and a little R&B, however, the highlight of the evening was "The Battle Of The Crews". Teens showed off their dance skills - Poping, Krumpin', Breakin', and gettin' their swag on.
Thanks Perris' for letting me hang out with you. I had a lot of fun.
Get ready; you are going to laugh so hard! Job is clean, funny, and will have you laughing all day. He recently performed at the Chase Center on the Riverfront, in Wilmington, DE, on New Year's Eve 2009. Enjoy.
I am so thankful that I was invited to hear Peter Daniels. I took two days off from work to be there, and I would've taken a third. This three part message changed my entire outlook on life and business. It is in part, the reason I started Family Legacy DJs. God bless you Mr. Daniels, and thank you so much for the courage to pursue my dream.
I am so blessed! We often wonder, if we're doing the right thing, or, am I on the right path. I've learned that God will allow us to meet the person that we have long admired from afar as a sign to tell us, yes, you're doing great; keep going!
Well just recently, God has allowed me to meet that person - Legendary radio personality Doug Henderson. In meeting Doug, God has let me know, several things: 1 - That He heard the prayers of a child and answered them. 2 - That I am on track for his plan for my life.
As a youth, I had a severe stuttering problem. I could not complete a sentence. I couldn't ask for water, speak to girls, talk in public, and the list goes on.
Like most in Philly, I listened to WDAS, however, I listened for more than the music. I wanted to be Doug Henderson. I wanted his voice - an alluring sensuous rhythmic baritone that captivates all who hear. When Doug speaks, the world listens. I thought, if I sounded like that, people would listen; I could get a job; I could get a girl friend; I could do radio...
Doug was very humble at our meeting and he's a real people person, professional, easy to approach, entertaining and funny.On the other hand, I felt like a kid, meeting his favorite superhero. Thank you Mr. Henderson, you have significantly impacted my life. Your voice, freed mine.
Today, I have my own voice, I have worked for two radio stations, I speak in public very often… and people listen.
I was thrilled when Mr. Gibbs asked me to perform for his wife's 30th Birthday Party, especially after performing at their wedding reception just a few short years ago.
We later found out that this was a duel celebration. Mr. and Mrs. Gibbs are expecting a son, that they will name Malachi.
Congratulations Malachi, God has selected marvelous parents for you.
Sometimes you just know. Every year I meet a couple, that I know, I will never forget, this year, that couple is Mr. and Mrs. Roberts.
We met a year ago, to discuss their vision and plans for their wedding, We talked about many things, but they said two words that stuck with me, Grown and Sexy.
Francis and Rhonda, selected our Lifetime Package, which features, their initials on the wall, light show, and our extended JBL sound system.
Cocktail hour, featured jazz band, Aniya. They were great. I was blown away. WOW! They set the tone for a marvelous and elegant evening. The band played through dinner, but I could've listened to them all night.
Rhonda and Francis entered the room in style, and danced to "Baby, I Need Your Love Today" by Sweet Thunder. After dinner, Rhonda danced with her son to "Song For Mama" by Boyz II Men and Francis danced with his mother to "If I Could" by Regina Belle.
A very nice twist was playing line dance songs between courses. A great suggestion! It gave the band a rest, gave the venue more time to prepare; and really got the guests energized for an awesome evening.
I was thrilled about working with two of my favorite people, Wedding Planner, Patty Drew of Destined to Deliver, and Photographer, Rodrick Moore, who was recently nominated for Best Photographer in Delaware. When Patty plans a wedding, every detail is accounted for, and the evening flows effortlessly. Of course we danced: from "I Do Love You" by GQ to "Million Dollar Bill" by Whitney Houston. What eles can say. A great night!
What a pleasure it was to enjoy and share with the family of Maureen and Tom Cathell. The evening began with a lovely ceremony in the garden followed by cocktails at The Farmhouse.
Our Bridal Party was introduced into the room to Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust" after which our Bride and Groom danced to "For Once In My Life" by Tony Bennett. Later, the Bride and Groom danced with their parents to "Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion".
The staff at The Farmhouse was lead by Eric and Laurie. Both were fantastic, attentive, kind, and kept everything running smooth. They're service really made the night easy and fun. Once you meet them, you'll know your event will be in good hands.
After dinner we got right into the party. Guests were prepared to have a good time, They were excited and ready to go; and so we danced, and we danced, and we danced! Then suddenly it was time to go. We all shared a final dance to Al Green's "I'm Still In Love With You".
In over 30 years of performing, there are some events that just to be there is an absolute blessing.
What a great time! Guests started dancing before dinner, which is always the highest compliment for me. Eddie, our captain and Matra'd, requested I clear the dance floor to allow his staff to serve the guests.
Mr. and Mrs. Slater began their day with a beautiful ceremony held at Faith City Family Church in Newark, DE. Guests enjoyed a prelude of classical music while being seated. The bridal party entered to "Canon In D" by Pachelbel and our Bride entered to "Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring" by the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra.
At the reception, the room was decorated so nice that you could feel the romance in the room; intimate with elegance all around you, a beauiful view of the water, and a sparkling star studded ceiling; it was very nice.
We started the evening with soft jazz as the guests entered for cocktails. After photos, our Bride and Groom was introduced to "It Takes Two" by Rob Base, then danced to " Endless Love" by Luther Vandross and Mariah Carey. Later, The Bride danced with her father to "You Don't Have To Let Go" by Jessica Simpson. The Groom and his mother danced to "There You'll Be" by Faith Hill.
Peter and Stacy selected our Lifetime Package, that included their names on the dance floor, light show, and our JBL exteneded sound system.
We danced to such songs as "Cry To Me" by Solomon Burke, "Vibrant Thing" by Q-Tip and so much more.
Stacy and Peter shared a last dance to "Everytime I Close My Eyes" by Babyface, and we all danced together to "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys to close the evening.
Our photographer was Ron Soliman of Litrato Photo. Ron was awesome, and we had lots of fun together; the photos are simply awesome!. Did I say Awesome! AWESOME! They captured every moment.
Thank you Peter and Stacy. The pleasure was all mine!
Sometimes, I am amazed how God uses us. I am amazed at the gifts he has given, and I am most appreciative when I am blessed to be in the company of those people; such is the case with Rodrick Moore.
I was blessed to be photographed by a man who is operating and performing in the gift God gave him. How do I know? Please, let me tell you.
Not any photographer would have captured the above shot. This picture truly captures the sincerity of who I am, and what I do. It accurately displays the care and dedication, I give each customer and put into each performance. It shows the man, behind the music.
In each photo, Rodrick captured the essense of who I am, strong, faithful, commtted, fun, and passionate about my craft. Not every photographer can see beyond the lens to convey a story much deeper, and what the heart feels, but cannot express in words. This is how I know Rodrick Moore is performing in the gift God gave him, because only God can see the heart.
What Rodrick does wth his camera, I hope I am doing with my musc. I am both thankful and blessed that Rodrick Moore used his gift on me.
Thank You Rodrick; what I could not say in words, God used you to say with your camera.
