Experience
DJ Russ has had a love of music from a young age and has carried this passion with him throughout his life.

Russ's ability to anticipate our needs was astounding. He asked all the right questions, guiding us effortlessly through song choices we hadn't even considered. His attention to detail ensured that every moment had the perfect soundtrack, elevating the atmosphere to magical heights.
As an MC, Russ brought a personalized touch that made the night feel like it was curated just for us. There wasn't a single dull moment; he expertly navigated transitions, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed.

And let's talk about his music mixes – pure genius! Russ's creativity and skill shone through in every live mix, delivering a blend of tracks that had everyone grooving all night long. I was so blown away that I couldn't resist asking him for his mix afterward – I could listen to him spin for hours on end!
But Russ's dedication didn't stop when the music faded. His team mentality was truly remarkable. Not only did he arrive promptly at the beginning of the day and clean up on time, but he also went above and beyond to assist our entire wedding team. As a planner, having someone like Russ on board was a dream come true. He jumped in without hesitation, lending a hand to ensure that everything wrapped up smoothly for everyone involved.

Russ at Squawkbox Sound is one of the best! Always happy, positive and knows how to get the party started! I have worked with him at weddings and also have seen him at public events like the Witches Fest each year. He knows his stuff and I am always happy when I see him at events!
I always enjoy working with Russ. Every time I see him as the DJ, I am so relieved. It is so important to have people who know what they are doing on your wedding day, you really won't understand how important it is until you don't have it. Hire Russ and avoid regret. I can't tell you how many times I have been working, when the DJ's equipment malfunctions, or the microphone doesn't work right, cursing out every third word. I have seen speakers light on fire because the DJ was pushing too much power to the speaker. This is the sort of thing that happens with less experienced DJs. Don't let this be you! Hire Russ, he is your man! Hiring a DJ isn't just about the music. The DJ is single handedly carrying your wedding party on his/her shoulders. The wedding Ceremony is for you as a couple, the rest of the night is a party for the guests. Russ does a fabulous job carrying the crowd. He is an amazing MC and he knows JUST what to play to pull the dancing into a frenzy if it starts to crash. He has a variety of lights, speakers, all professional quality.
Russ is an awesome DJ and a nice guy. I have worked with him several times over the years and he's always very professional and personable. He uses top of the line equipment and knows how to read a crowd and play the right music. I would definitely recommend him to anyone whose looking for an amazing DJ to make your special event memorable!
