The best person you can have providing you with service, whether it is a DJ or doctor, is someone who can honestly say: “I am so blessed to have the greatest job in the world, and I never take it for granted.”

That is something I can say every day.ss

Musical Journey
I believe everything in life’s journey comes from God. My parents’ combined musical tastes and talents cover the entire spectrum of music, and I’ve been blessed to have that combination of music ingrained in my soul. When I began as a DJ, I didn’t realize at first that my love and respect for all music could have a place in my chosen profession.

After a while though, I realized that I didn’t have to become a stereotypical DJ, easily categorized as a “techno DJ” or “hip hop DJ.” I could branch out and do things my own way. Why limit myself to one style of music, to playing only to certain club crowds, or even being a mobile DJ leading cheesy dances? With no good answer to that question, I determined to be a leader in the music industry, leading the way to a new level of professionalism and changing the way people perceive DJs.

I pride myself in the way my mind thinks about music—I’m able to quickly decide what song needs to be played. I never have a set playlist; it’s always a live, unique performance based on what’s in my mind at the time. There is never a dull moment when you have on average 4 minutes to think about your next song, get it cued, mix it in seamlessly, and then repeat all night. I have a vast knowledge of music, so I’m never limited to certain time periods, styles, or genres. I am able to get any crowd to move: whether they don’t usually dance or are young or old. Age, nationalities, personalities—I break through those barriers and make sure everyone dances like there’s no tomorrow.

I see my life as a musical journey. I’m always growing and transforming myself as a DJ at every new event I DJ or MC. Stagnancy is not an option—it’s boring. And that’s the opposite of who I am and what I offer to an event.

If a song you’ve heard has ever made your emotions tingle, then you can relate to what I do, why I do it, and how I think.

 
 
 
  Background
I began my DJ career while attending UNCA and then AB Tech in North Carolina. I earned a degree in electronic engineering. I have been a DJ or MC at over one thousand events and have over a decade of experience in mixing songs, getting people on the dance floor, reading crowds, and creating stylish decorum for weddings. I started out as a club DJ and became known as DJ Blaze. “Blaze,” because the club would feel like it was on fire when I got the energy just right. With that desired energy level and the hottest music always playing, it just made sense to name my company Blazin Sounds Entertainment.

My main focus currently is weddings. I love being a part of such a momentous occasion in people’s lives, but I’m always ready to cater to a club or corporate event when my specific skills are desired. My newest adventure is to also be a producer and travel to DJ at the world’s most popular dance clubs. I strongly believe in mentorship, so I have a couple of the top DJs and MCs in the world (e.g. Ken Day, Glenn David) motivating and challenging me, and I do the same for my associates.

I fashioned Blazin Sounds Entertainment from day one with the desire to make people happy by providing first class service. No one deserves terrible service, and most of us know how first class is supposed to look and feel, and first class is what I provide. I endeavor to raise the industry standards and pursue excellence at every event and in everyday life. I feel like I have succeeded when I have shared my love of music with the crowd and made the newlywed couple overjoyed with their choice of entertainment.

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance... Ecclesiastes 3:4

Read what pleased brides and grooms have to say!
“Dylan at Blazin Sounds was truly a professional and kept our wedding upbeat with everyone on the dance floor. From the ceremony music he graciously provided all the way to the hoppin’ dance grooves—the music and the entertainment provided by Dylan was exactly what we wanted for our big day.

In advance of the wedding day, with all of the things that occupy the time and resources of the bride and groom, we did not worry about Dylan at all, and from our conversations we knew we were on the same page for the music we wanted to hear. Dylan even went out of his way to get some obscure songs that we requested!

And my favorite part—Dylan was gracious and politely turned down song requests from guests that he knew did not fit into the music we had selected (i.e. YMCA). We would strongly recommend Dylan and Blazin Sounds Entertainment for any wedding or party or any occasion that requires a professional entertainment specialist. Thanks again.”
—Mike and Raina Shiffer. Wedding at Carolina Inn, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, November 17, 2007.
