Keith has been a singer and DJ in the Tallahassee community for several years. Well known for his "Karaoke with Keith" shows around town, he is a highly sought-after wedding and party DJ as well. He is popular because of his versatility in accommodating most musical tastes, and establishing a classy and festive atmosphere tailored to the wishes of the bride and groom. (For a sample of Keith's work, catch one of his weekly shows around town!)
Oh my goodness, I thought I had endorsed Keith months ago, I do apologize!! I have seen this talented young man in action, his personality is Top Notch, he would really do a great job at your wedding or any function!
Frequently Asked Questions
Describe your DJ style: I'm not a real "talkie" DJ at all. I like to provide my services as inconspicuously as befitting the event. Sometimes the bride and groom want the DJ to hype the crowd, and if that's called for, I can certainly do it, since I have experience doing that in my weekly shows. But for the most part, I try to create a festive atmosphere without taking away from the seriousness of the nuptials.
How many other DJs do you work with? It's mainly me, but I do some occasional ventures in conjunction with Greg Tish of GT Entertainment.
Do you have replacement DJs in case you become unavailable on the wedding day? He and his crew are highly demanded DJ's in Tallahssee, so it's rare that I'd get to use them, but Greg and Kevin and the crew from GT Entertainment are my primary back-ups if something should happen that prevents me from fulfilling a contract. I also serve as their back-up if they have too many events for all of them to handle. I love working with them. If none of them is available, I can call on Spotlight Karaoke and DJ's, and Krazy-K Karaoke and DJ's, and I am also a member of TJ's DJ's pool.
Do you specialize in any ethnic and/or international events? My specialty is being able to play most genres of music. I've worked all sorts of events, from country to salsa to hip-hop, but I'm really adept and knowledgeable with pop, funk, R&B, old school 70's and 80's stuff. I try to set the tone based on what the bride and groom want, and sprinkle my flavoring with their musical desires as a base.
Is the bride able to meet the DJ before booking? I prefer that we meet at least once, and maybe a couple of times, if for no other reason than to put the bride's mind at ease and to assure her that the DJ is one thing she can "confidently" check off her list as one less thing to worry about.
If you do not have one of the songs pre-requested by the couple, do you require that they provide it? I do my best to provide all requested music. If I can't find something and they happen to have it available, I will gladly play from music provided by them.
What is your usual attire? My usual attire is a nice suit. For outdoor or more casual weddings, I might dress down a bit to bear up in the Tallahassee heat, but always with the bride's permission.
Do you bring your own equipment? I provide everything except for tables.
What (if any) special equipment, such as disco balls or lighting, is offered with your service? I don't generally have lights and bubbles and stuff, but I can have it on hand for an extra fee.
What is your minimum amount of time you will DJ for? I generally charge by the event, and not by the hour. I've done parties that lasted as little as 2 hours, so with an hour to set up, and an hour to break down, I need to count 4 hours minimum for scheduling an event.
Do you usually emcee the reception and/or talk between songs? I do this as the couple requires. If I am doing the announcements, they have to provide me with the names of everyone in the bridal party and how they're to be lined up well beforehand. As to the deejaying, I let the music itself establish the flow. If I can help hype the crowd and get the guests on the dance floor by coaxing them into it on the microphone, I do it. But nobody will ever accuse me of talking too much on the microphone.
Do you take any breaks? No, I don't take breaks. If I need a restroom break or something, I make sure there's a song playing that lasts at least 5 minutes or so to give me time to get back to doing my thing.
Will you arrange for recorded music to play during your breaks? If I have to step away for a minute, the guests will not suffer a break in the music.
Do you require a meal break? If yes, do you require that the wedding party provide your meal? I do not require a meal. If I'm offered a plate or asked to eat, I won't turn it down, but it's not required.
How much time do you usually need to set up? Do you require that the site and/or couple provide a table for you to setup on? I prefer 2 long tables, and I usually ask that the host or the venue provide them. If they can't then I need to know well enough in advance to provide my own tables for the work area.
Do you have any extra space requirements? I have been squeezed into some of the tightest spots. I can work in confined areas, but everything flows better when I can find my music fast. If I can get to my music selections quickly, it's generally a better party. It helps if my music is sufficiently spread out and organized. some of my music is on computer, but I still spin mostly from CD's.
What is your overtime rate? I book by the event. I try not to schedule events back to back, and usually the venues I play in have their own time limitations on when the guests and vendors have to vacate, so overtime is rarely an issue anyway. But unless I have something else scheduled afterwards (such as doing my regular friday evening gig) I won't squabble with the client over playing an extra half an hour to an hour beyond what was previously agreed upon. As long as the guests are having fun, then I consider myself to be doing my job.
Additional Questions and Answers Do you specialize in any ethnic and/or international events? My specialty is being able to play most genres of music. I've worked all sorts of events, from country to salsa to hip-hop, but I'm really adept and knowledgeable with pop, funk, R&B, old school 70's and 80's stuff. I try to set the tone based on what the bride and groom want, and sprinkle my flavoring with their musical desires as a base.
Do you charge for travel expenses? If yes, how much do you charge? I charge a flat rate, based on in-town services. I tack on a little extra for gas and meals and lodging if I have to travel a substantial distance out of town, but even including such a fee, my total price is well within the bounds of what most DJ's would charge.
