Tony was very thoughtful in his planning and collaboration with us and went above and beyond to make our special day unforgettable. From beginning to end Tony helped put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our time! He made the entire night flow so smoothly and seamlessly. He was professional, energetic, fun, and played music that kept the dance floor packed in a crowd that doesn't even dance! His entire set up from the lighting, to the photo booth to the light-up foam sticks, made the entire atmosphere a party you'll never forget. I wish I could upload photos to this review, but be on the lookout for my other reviews for Tony! Please book Tony if you want the best!

Response from Not A Panda:
Hahaha! Thanks Heather! :)
Sweet 16! DJ "NotAPanda" Tony was amazing from the start. Very knowledgeable, cares & keeps you in the loop & guides you every step of the way. You feel informed & comfortable with him. His music was spot on, performed exactly as we wanted & was incredible. All the teens seemed to really like him & feel comfortable with him. Lots of extras as well with the Photo Booth props, etc. The party was a hit & we will definitely recommend him & use him in the future! Thanks again Tony!

What to Expect
Prices are on my website, and I have pictures of my setup.
For DJ: Everything but the dance floor! By default I include lights, MC work, the various basic logistics (setup, travel, etc), mics, speakers, and anything needed to plan out the event like phone calls and a worksheet.
Speaking of the worksheet, I'm very proud of my itinerary worksheets, especially for weddings. They're so thorough that I can guarantee you'll find things you wouldn't have thought to plan for without them! I've even caught wedding planners using a printed copy.
Lastly, I recently had the great idea that glowing foam sticks make for great parties, so that's included as well!
DJ Lite: An affordable weekday special offer. It just comes with the basic needs to have a good experience, with 1 speaker, a small lights array, MC services, and the logistics and planning stuff.
For Photo Booth: I have the photo booth unit itself, a backdrop, and props. It takes about an 8x8 space, and I have tons of pictures and videos to help you see exactly how it works and turns out! Bundle discounts available!
For Karaoke: Over 50K songs, including popular latin songs! Comes with a TV, 2 mics, and professional software.
About
I've been in this industry since 2018, and it has been the best use of my skillset I have come across.
Having a History in theater, complicated itineraries with precise timings were already something I was very confident with.
People often say I have a great radio voice.
I've heard a lot of strange stories about DJ's who think a little too much of themself, so it's also important that you know I'm a very patient person who doesn't have a weird self-importance and think I'm entitled to special treatment. I generally assume people have the best intentions until proven otherwise.
There's plenty I could say, but ultimately I'm an open book. If you'd like to know more, just ask. :)
Additional Booking Notes
I can get by on a simple house outlet, ideally not shared by anything else.
I'll arrive a minimum of 1 hour before you want me to commence any services, preferably 2 if at all possible.

Set List
I have performed for Indian/Bollywood events, Latino events, Greek events, Italian events, and frankly I bet I could pull off any event for any group whether I could speak the language or not, though my ability to perform MC services might be affected by language barriers.
The key is two pieces:
1. The humility to acknowledge that the music you think is best isn't the right way to think about it, you want to find the music that the *audience* will think is the best. So every event is different, and I don't plan out sets in advance.
2. The organization to be able to quickly find the perfect song when inspiration strikes. I've played meme songs that made everyone laugh, I've played Disney songs that brought a breath of nostalgia to the group, I've played songs that were super appropriate for a specific event (Hot In Herre when the room is too hot due to the AC going out, or It's Raining Men when it starts raining outside)... I read the room and adjust accordingly. Younger audience or older, English or not, I can adapt very well, and get plenty of reviews that back that claim up. :)
Setup Requirements
An outlet and a space to set up my equipment.
