Mobile disc jockey

[2] The first entertainment company (in the world) to invent the term, "Mobile Discotheque" was based in the United Kingdom and it was launched by a young man called Roger Squire.

In the 1980s and 1990s, mobile DJs began to form associations and create professional business networks that evolved into annual trade shows and internet discussion forums.

Seminars by numerous respected DJs such as John Rozz, Ray "Ray Mar" Martinez, Stacy Zemon, Mark Ferrell, Peter Merry, Randy Bartlett, and Steve Moody[citation needed] have helped DJs to better understand their profession, how to be more professional and to treat being a DJ as a business operation.

In 1998, Final Scratch debuted at the BE Developer Conference, marking the first digital DJ system to give DJs control of MP3 files through special time-coded vinyl records or CDs.

The thirteen members include John Rozz, Al Lampkin, Joe Martin, Robert A. Lindquist, Jon Michaels, Mike Buonaccorso, Sid Vanderpool, Bobby Morganstein, John Roberts, Ken Knotts, Ray "Ray Mar" Martinez, Cesar Cosio, and Bernie Howard-Fryman.

[4] The American Disc Jockey Awards Show annually recognized and honored individuals who had given of themselves to benefit their community or a charitable cause in the name of the ADJA or the DJ Trade as a whole.It is currently in hiatus since 2013.

KoKoruz, Shawn "Big Daddy" McKee, Marz Lawhorn, Gerry Siracusa, Adam Weitz, Steve Moody and Pascal Levesque who, in 2013, was the first Canadian to take part in the competition.

[5] A number of books have been written about the business, and by furthering their education at trade shows and seminars, mobile DJs have gained a positive public perception.

In addition, professional-grade equipment created by a variety of companies expressly for the mobile DJ industry has allowed for faster set-up and break down times and improved quality of performance.

[7] Suggestions for hiring mobile disc jockeys include requests for referrals, approximate age of equipment, level of insurance, contract terms and fees, and provision of electrical sources.

Today's mobile DJs are tasked with putting together major productions for these events, which require customization in every element of “her big night”.

As huge as the demand for qualified teen-event DJs is, the equipment list to bring a full production on the road for a successful event is more than most can afford.
