I love performing at all types of FORMAL (weddings, quinces, bar/bat mitzvahs) and INFORMAL (community events, house parties, kids parties) events. I can play music from any genre that YOU choose (and not play any music that you don’t want to hear). I always dress, talk, and act professionally. My business is licensed and insured and I offer discounts for events close to home; non-profit organizations; or booking multiple events at once.
Let me help make your event AMAZING!

With such a big birthday party for my daughter, I was super occupied with keeping everything in order, but between the music and the games Dj Breakaway provided, the kids were thoroughly entertained and the parents even more than them because the 80s and 90s music from the theme was SPOT ON. He was super dedicated to his job and I was ecstatic that he even came dressed to theme. Overall perfect and will be definitely using him again!!

DJBreakaway was great at our Christmas party. The music selection and his skills as MC involving people to dance were excellent. We had a blast. He is a professional and you will not be disappointed.

Amazing DJ. He will go above and beyond to ensure you have the most memorable event ever. He went 110% and included our guests in fun games. I would highly recommend DJ Breakaway for wedding rehearsal dinner. Great attention to detail and planning the event was super easy with an event form. You won’t be disappointed.

Honestly, look no further!! Just book DJ breakaway! He was the absolute best! We just had our 2 daughter’s birthday glow party this past weekend and had DJ Breakaway at our house. From the moment I reached out , from beginning to end he was so organized and had excellent communication. He made sure we had exactly what we wanted from music choices, to games, to special announcements, he took care of the entire party timeline! He was so engaging with all the kids and even the parents!! He was part of the party! Everyone LOVED him!! He had all the kids dancing, playing games and having the time of their lives!! He was so good with the kids!! They didn’t want the night to end! He made it so extra special for the birthday girls too! Everyone was still talking about the party the next day and asking for his contact info!! We can’t wait to have him DJ our next event!! DJ Breakaway Exceeded our expectations!! Thank you for an over the top party DJ Breakaway!

DJ Breakaway was used for an event at my job and not only was the price great, but he was kind, respectable and played the very best hits! He arrived early to prep his space too. He danced with the crowd and kept them engaged! Highly recommend! Will certainly have DJ Breakaway for my future events. Do yourself a favor and save yourself the trouble, choose him!

This is the second time DJ Breakaway has performed at the public library children's event and he always does a tremendous job. DJ Breakaway put the fun in our summer finale celebration and kept everything organized so we could stay on schedule. I highly recommend his services as he is professional, on time, friendly and knows the right songs to play according to the audience. We look forward to hiring him again for an event....thanks DJ Breakaway! :)

DJ Breakaway made the event for our celebration memorable. Will definitely hire him for future events.

We had DJ Breakaway as part of our Back to College event at IKEA Sunrise. He was that extra touch that got everyone engaged with our Back To College Lounge and grooving with the music. He made a point to give the college students a chance to express their school pride with shouts of their college or university names.
He also was great to work with and had good flexibility to work with the space available. He took into consideration the goal of the event and even made suggestions to improve upon what was planned. We look forward to partying with him again at our next event!
We hired DJ Breakaway for our school's 5th grade dance. He did an amazing job! The kids all loved him. He was very professional, showed up on time and was ready to go before the event even started. We will definitely hire him in the future for our events and highly recommend him to anyone needing a DJ.

DJ breakaway was great! He was on time, and even got started a little bit early which was great! His playlist was thoughtful and built up throughout the night. He was engaged and brought so much energy to our small airbnb bachelorette. Highly recommend

It was the best experience from the beginning to the end. Ryan is very organized , he started putting the plan for my event way in advance with lots of recommendations and ideas. It was a huge help. The whole process was stress free because he was so organized. The event itself was fun even though I had to reorganize and Ryan had to move all the set up from inside to outside. He prepared a lot of activities and all guests had a lot of fun! Thank you Ryan- I am so happy I found you!

DJ Breakaway (Ryan) was incredible. From the time he started till the end of the party there were always people dancing. Our group ran from people in their teen's to early 70's and was both Latin and gringo so he had his work cut out. His passion for what he does really comes through and he's just great at reading a room crowd. He was also very punctual, had a great sound system and communicated well through the whole process. I highly recommend DJ Breakaway and look forward to future events with him. Thanks for helping to make the party a success!
DJ Breakaway was excellent. He provided the right type of music for this post graduation reception. He always kept us up to date and checked in with us frequently. The event went on an extra half hour and he was glad to stay to keep the music going. We would diffidently use him again for another school event.

DJ Breakaway has it All! I had the opportunity to work alongside DJ covering a couple of his events. From Bar/Bat Mitzvahs to beautiful weddings, DJ Breakaway has the ability to adapt to any sort of event.
The first event was a Bat Mitzvah. Breakaway MC’d this event and my biggest takeaway was that he was great with kids. He was able to keep the youth very entertained with the props and games he brought to the dance floor.
The wedding at the new Hialeah Botanical Garden was phenomenal. Despite the scorching South Florida sun, DJ Breakaway didn’t break! What a trooper. He delivered a soothing environment with the music he played upon the bride and grooms arrival. Upon arrival, the aesthetic cold sparks made this entrance extra special. When it was time to party, best believe the crowd went crazy!
I highly recommend DJ Breakaway and all his individual services he can bring to the table!

Our company had been looking for a DJ that would be able to provide a specific type of flexibility and service for our different events. DJ Breakaway surpassed our expectations and we will be using him for many more events! He provides a great setup, fun enthusiasm, easy to work with, and is kind.

We had a STELLAR experience with DJ Breakaway for my surprise engagement party. He reads the crowd so well and knows what type of music to play. He made an excellent atmosphere for everyone at the party and highly recommend him for your future parties.

I hired DJ Breakaway for my girlfriend’s 60th birthday. I found him through this website along with others that bid on the gig. As you can imagine, it’s always difficult to choose a professional without having first hand knowledge. After filtering through well over a dozen bids, I contacted DJ Breakaway. I didn’t have a particular playlist, just a disco theme. I told him to feel the vibe once the party started and take it from there. The attendees age ranged from the 20 to the late 60’s. Not one person was disappointed in DJ Breakaway. What a find! I would use again and again and highly recommend him.
DJ
Had a great time with DJ Breakaway! He did a great job of following the vibe while still accommodating requests. We danced the whole night! Thanks again for providing the perfect vibe for the backyard event.

I hired DJ Breakaway for a tradeshow in 2020, just before COVID hit. Ryan did an amazing job. He was professional, timely, and extremely easy to work with throughout the booking process. The music he provided was exactly what we asked for and he was able to take requests from the audience. I highly recommend DJ Breakaway.

I hired DJ Breakaway to host some fun games for my Valentines Dinner Party and he was on time, fully ready with all the materials needed for the games and he was super fun and attentive to all our needs. I highly recommend him for any party or event.
Emcee
DJ Breakaway was amazing. He helped me at a private event for just my wife and I. It was for our 1 year anniversary and he did a great job at playing the songs I asked and then mixing in great R&B vibes, salsa, reggaeton. He helped me pull it all off as a surprise! He was extremely professional. I thought it might be weird just us 3, but it was epic!!! The date was next level! Can’t wait to have a reason to hire him again. Would recommend 10/10!
DJ
DJ Breakaway emceed our organization's awards event turned dance party and was fantastic! Highly professional, responsible, asked the right questions, gave good suggestions, and worked very well with the planning committee to ensure a top-notch event. Kept our group energized and moving forward -- a good time was had by all!
Emcee
DJ Breakaway was incredibly prompt in his communication and professional before, during, and after the event. He arrived early with all gear in working order, and had some excellent and creative suggestions for set-up in our space. He had a great and wide-ranging music selection that got everyone dancing (even people I wouldn't have expected!), and was very gracious in accommodating musical requests. He single-handedly turned a small get-together into a memorable event we're still talking about. 10/10 would recommend him for your next event!
DJ
DJ Breakaway provided the music for a Christmas party I attended and it was a great time!! The group of people at this party was very diverse and DJ Breakaway seemingly had something for everyone. He wasn't just up there playing his version of how the night should sound. He really noticed what made people move and took the music in that direction. He was also extremely responsive to requests, and played additional tracks that really complemented what I like but that wouldn't have occurred to me or I didn't know existed! Highly recommend!
DJ
In our endless quest for "virtual events" hiring DJ Breakaway was a great choice. Ryan spun some great tunes during a one hour corporate "dance party" and kept us all motivated.
Communication was excellent before the event in terms of playlist and agenda. Ryan was very good at reading the crowd and responding to what he was seeing on Zoom.
The team was a little skeptical about a virtual dance party...but ended up loving it! Thanks DJ Breakaway!
Emcee
At first, I was nervous about hiring a DJ online, but took a chance with DJ Breakaway after reading the great reviews he's gotten. I'm so glad I did! He took our intimate outdoor patio party to the next level. Everyone had a great time. He was so easy to work with and the music selection was stellar! Thanks again for helping us create a great event!

He was punctual and professional and the music was great!

DJ Breakaway took our outdoor Halloween party to another level!! This DJ was very accommodating of our eclectic music tastes and all of our guests had a great time. We were really impressed by how professional and prepared he was. We will definitely be booking this DJ again soon!!

Thank you so so much for making our party great! We were looking for someone that could work with our music preference and get the crowd dancing, and DJ Breakaway did just that. He was super professional and friendly, and he even came with a bunch of awesome lights that made the space look really cool. All of our friends were talking about how much fun they had...I will definitely hire him again.

About
Growing up in New York City in the 90's, I was inspired by a wide variety of music, including many live performances by world-renowned artists and Disc Jockeys. From rollerblading around with a boombox and a backpack full of cassette tapes to playing music at high school and college house parties, my passion slowly developed into a career.
Moving to Miami to attend FIU, I experienced a rich diversity of tropical music, forming my own unique style and I have been bumping party music ever since!
