About

HELLO!

If you don’t know me yet but love soul music then we already have something in common.

Although I play all types of music for weddings and formal functions, my passion lies with Motown,

Old School Classics, Neo-Soul, Jazz, Hip Hop, R&B and more.

I was born and raised in London, England and over the last 22 years I’ve DJ’d in many countries and great cities around the world at exclusive events, on the radio and in clubs and I’m proud to provide a world-class performance.

Reviews of DJ Bennie James

I wish I could give 10 stars!!!

I have had the pleasure of being at multiple events where Bennie James was the DJ so naturally I asked my boss to hire him for an upcoming work event which happened to be a 90’s Hip Hop Dance Party. Needless to say Bennie brought the energy, the dance floor was packed and he played the best mix of songs all night! Bennie never disappoints! His professionalism is exceptional, his knowledge of music is on another level and people can’t help but love his energy! One of the best DJ’s I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working with by far⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Exceptional On Every Level

I have had the privilege of hiring DJ Bennie James on multiple occasions for a variety of private and corporate events, including most notably my own wedding. In every instance, his performance has been nothing short of exceptional, consistently exceeding expectations and contributing significantly to the success of each gathering.

Bennie possesses an extraordinary ability to read and engage an audience with remarkable precision. He intuitively senses the energy of the room, seamlessly adjusting tempo, genre selection, and transitions to maintain momentum and excitement throughout the event. This rare skill ensures that guests remain fully immersed and energized from the first song to the last.

Equally impressive is his technical mastery as a DJ. His mixing is flawless—tight beats, creative yet tasteful transitions, and impeccable timing that never disrupts the flow of the evening. The sound quality is consistently professional, with balanced levels, clear vocals, and rich bass that enhance the atmosphere without ever overwhelming conversation or comfort.

What truly sets Bennie apart, however, is his warm, approachable, and genuinely friendly personality. He is professional yet personable, taking the time to understand the client’s vision well in advance, offering thoughtful suggestions while remaining completely respectful of preferences. On the day of the event, he interacts with guests in a gracious and inclusive manner that adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience.

In summary, DJ Bennie James delivers a complete, high-caliber performance that combines elite technical ability, outstanding crowd intuition, and an exceptionally pleasant demeanor. I recommend him without the slightest hesitation for any event requiring a sophisticated, reliable, and crowd-pleasing DJ. He is, quite simply, one of the best in the industry.

DJ Bennie James DJed our Philadelphia wedding and we cannot say enough about how wonderful he was. He truly listened to both what we were looking for and especially to the crowd, feeding off of their energy throughout the night. We got SO many compliments on his music selection that night and we would highly recommend him for any event!!

First me Bennie back in 2007 when he played at an event for me, and I knew then that he was a class dj. He reads the crowd so well and enjoys what he does and it shows. It is a shame he is now based sp far from me, would recommend this talented dj for any occasion. Vince Bva Viechweg (Come Tidy Promotions.)

Don't let the pale skin fool you, DJ Bennie James is a soul brother in disguise. Hands down, he's the best damn DJ around! If you're looking for a classy, professional, sophisticated vibe for your event, there's no other choice than Bennie. I've used Bennie several times at this point (personal/professional events) and he's never disappointed. He was so hyped that he had me thinking that I could be a DJ! I went out and bought all this equipment and it's still sitting in the box in my shed. I guess I better call Bennie...

Bennie's got a great voice, a great personality, and he really knows how to connect with the crowd. You'll be ready to get your groove on the entire time. And best of all, he wasn't that expensive. Considering what other DJs wanted to charge, no doubt that we more than got our money's worth. Trust me, people. Don't waste your time. Call DJ Bennie aka "The Blue Eyed Soul Brother".

I was delighted to learn that Bennie was coming to the UK at the time of my event. As a DJ myself I only like to work with music loving, quality and most importantly, crowd pleasing DJ's... Bennie James fit's into all of those categories. His energy, the reading of the dance floor and most importantly his professionalism were faultless..

I would definitely be booking him again... and you're looking for someone to deliver your needs... Bennie's your man..

Amazing, professional and friendly! Beenie and Faye took care of my fiancé and I and was affordable and understanding. On our big day 02 May 15 they did great and was patience as we ran a bit late. Faye helped as a hostess and they brought their friend, another DJ as the "hype man". We danced till the last song. They kept the party going.! His contact info was passed along to several guests. Definitely would hire him for any function.

DJ Bennie was absolutely fantastic to work with. We arranged everything via phone as my wife grew up in Hawaii but we now live in New York. Meeting in person just sweetened the deal. He was easy to communicate with, on time and really just great. After our celebration our friends and family kept talking about how much fun they had dancing and what a great job the DJ did through the whole event. We had a wonderful time...made our special day that much more fun!

DJ Bennie was terrific and we have even kept in touch since our wedding--nothing but love and great vibes!

(and affordable!!!!)

DJ Bennie James was AMAZING! I booked him for our Military Ball, and have since recommended him to everyone! He was on time with a smile and was very professional. He kept the party going and incorporated the song we wanted and needed for the night! He is the best DJ in town!

DJ Bennie James did an outstanding job for my daughter's Sweet 16 party! From the first song, he kept the dance floor full with my daughter's favorite songs and requests from the attendees! Absolutely stunning voice that drove all the women in the house crazy! Even the chaperones were pleased. I truly thank him for making this once in a lifetime event a success! I look forward to a stellar repeat performance in 17 months!
