Questions & Answers for the DJ

1. How many DJs does ProSound Entertainment employ?

My name is Vince Ramirez and I own and operate ProSound Entertainment. I am the exclusive DJ and personally perform at all events that are contracted. This website is the first step to help potential customers familiarize themselves with my company. My name, picture, and information about my services are clearly explained throughout this website.

In your search for a DJ you are likely to encounter websites that are very vague about who owns the company in addition to providing very little information that is useful. I enjoy a solid reputation within the special events industry and proudly provide full disclosure about who I am and what I provide. It is my hope that if your event requires a legitimate professional my willingness to provide any information you would like is a good starting point in finding a DJ with a solid reputation.

2. How do you decide what music to play at an event?

I furnish my clients with a song list so they can highlight their requests. Clients can take as active a role as desired when requesting music for their event. Though the client requests have the highest priority, I also take requests from the guests as long as they fall within the parameters established by my client. I am usually asked to contribute to the music programming as well since I have experience entertaining diverse groups of people. This blend of input allows me to get a feeling for what the people want to hear and program the music so that there is a balanced mix.

3. Do you take any breaks during the event?

I play music beginning with the arrival of the first guest straight through the final dance. The only stoppage of music is for presentation purposes.

4. What do you wear when you DJ?

I dress accordingly to the type of event I am working at. Whether it’s a tuxedo, coat & tie, or khakis and a polo, I always discuss with my client what their preferences would be so that I reflect their wishes.

5. What types of music do you have in your music library?

All of the popular genres of music from the 1930’s through today can be found within my library. With over 25,000 song titles to pick from, the library is very well balanced. Anything available from local music retailers is also at your disposal as I am willing to purchase any music my client requires as long as it is carried in stock.

6. Do you carry backup equipment?

Though an equipment failure has never occurred, I am prepared as the sound system includes 4 CD players, 4 speakers, and 3 amplifiers. With this configuration of equipment I can rewire the system should something out of the ordinary happen. The highest quality equipment along with well thought out planning virtually eliminates the chance of an equipment failure.

7. Do you act as master of ceremonies in addition to playing music?

This is a commonly asked question as any event is greatly enhanced by a polished presentation. I am accustomed to delivering a polished presentation as master of ceremonies while at the same time keeping other event professionals informed of relevant details so they can best perform their duties as well.

8. Do you use a written contract?

Yes. All important details are spelled out in an easy to read contract so that both parties have a full understanding of the agreement being entered into.

9. Are you licensed and do you carry liability insurance?

Yes, I am licensed to provide professional services and also carry liability insurance. A license is required to legally provide services and while the insurance is not required it is worthwhile protection for both me and my clients should something unfortunate happen.

10. Why should we hire you?

Experience, passion, and commitment. In a world where downloaded music and cheaply produced audio gear has become common, so has the misconception that anyone with a lot of music and a sound system can provide adequate services. Music and audio gear are merely tools and the tools alone do not level the playing field. In any profession, knowledge is king and a great deal of the knowledge possesed by top-notch professionals is derived from real world performance. My passion and commitment are part of who I am, however without some experience, I would not be able to take full advantage of these traits. My customers get my full attention and the peace of mind that comes from knowing they are in very competent hands.
