Focused and confident he is ready to take your party to the next level!
In a recent interview for a Canadian magazine John J was asked:
How would you describe your style of Djing He answered: I'm aggressive and play everything and anything, I use to go to a lot of parties during my early stages as a DJ. I knew what I wanted to hear as well as what other people wanted to hear in a club. I would sit back and watch the crowd and how they reacted to certain songs and take that and use it to my advantage, with me it's all about the people. I thrive on their reaction. I DJ for 100 people the same way I DJ for 1000 people, aggressive, intense and unforgettable. My style is similar to an elevator ride, you start at ground level and move up, except with me it's a constant smooth ride that doesn't stop.
