Heroes
Mom and Dad
Now that I am older, I realize more, just how amazing you both were and even more how much I miss you.
Marci, my wife, my best friend, my soulmate
You never cease to amaze me with your endless talents, skills, spirituality, and positive attitude. I am so proud of you (more than you can ever realize). We have already been through more together than most people go through in a lifetime. It is your support that has inspired me and has kept me going all of these years. I Love You with all of my heart.
The early years
I've been around music all of my life. I've been around DJing since 1983. I started assisiting on school dances in 1986. I officially started my DJ career in 1989.
Since I started, I have become deeply involved in the technical side of the business, always trying to enhance our performance through expensive toys and unbelievable sound (LOL), as well as applying my own unique spin on things.
Denon DJ
I am greatly honored to be one of only a select few DJs who were choosen to represent and be officially certified by Denon DJ as part of their street team in 2004-2005. I have been a diehard Denon user since the beginning of my career and continue to do things with their products that still amaze me. Much thanks to Silvio and Dave from Denon for the awesome opportunity!
New Millenium DJing
I am a big fan of the new Computerized Performance DJ movement. (This does differ from so-called "Digital DJs", i-pod DJs and the like...) I recently attended and contributed to the Computer DJ Summit (Something I highly recommend to ALL DJs who consider themselves to be professional.) I have also chosen to go the route of using all Apple OS X-based computers, as well as using my DJ tool of choice - M-Audio's innovative TORQ DJ program. Thanks to Professor Jam, Dr. Drax, and Sir Wolfy for paving the way for the new millenium CPSDJ!
The wife and kids
I would also like to mention my wonderful wife, who often has to share my affections with the DJ industry. She is my best friend and the best wife anyone could ever ask for. Her and I live on a beautiful lake with our 6 children er... um... dogs and cats. We both hope to grow old gracefully there together.
Oh yeah,
and I reluctantly admit that I am a member of the comedy rap group Sudden Death. The shame...
Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone who...
has a passion for the Professional DJ industry.
is a professional-minded mobile DJ/entertainer.
wants to better the mobile DJ industry.
loves DJ gear (especially Denon DJ and M-Audio Torq users).
Hey dude, how are ya! Missed you and your bro at the Computer DJ Summit this year... hope things are going well for you and the family. We definitely gotta get together again sometime in the near future!
Steve, glad to see you finally got the whole myspace thing going! Now you can watch it take over your life, as it did mine! muahaha. Anyway, miss you, and hopefully we can hang out soon! Peace bro! If you get a chance, we just launched our new website, so check it out www.edensongtheband.com
