June 13, 2020 in St. Paul 952.239.4115 discjockeypaulyoung@gmail.com "Wow! Of all the vendors we used for our wedding (including photographer, caterer, etc), DJ Paul Young was the BEST! His communication with us was immediate and explanatory at all phases of our wedding planning process. He was exceptional at song choices to engage our guests, our tastes in music, and in "reading" the crowd. For example, our mother gave a speech and referenced a song that the groom used to sing as a kid riding his big wheel; and when her speech was concluded, DJ Paul immediately played THAT referenced song. He had not been told prior to the speech. He did not miss a beat in his attention to detail. Truly, a diamond in the rough in the DJ world." -Connie A, Anoka, MN (gig ID# 1197082) Games and stunts I’ve helped with at corporate holiday parties: Ugly Sweater Contest. Hula Hoop Contest (I provide 3 and have special music and arm/foot movements to call out to make it more challenging). One large company I worked for wrote a custom version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and had me sing it with a backing track- the intro listed several employees who all entered the room wearing reindeer antlers as their names appeared in the song…..They also had me DJ “Jeopardy Think Music” later on when they brought out a 12 foot high game board for a 30-minute quiz show, where they provided a quizmaster who knew the employees using my microphone. They also had karaoke available but only one singer actually performed, because the dancers wanted to keep dancing. I have MC’d and DJ’d “Rock and Roll Bingo” for 3 different company parties. I have MC’d a Newlywed Game at a holiday party where significant others were invited, where I went around the room asking them what they think the other will answer to questions like “What is your favorite flavor of ice cream” and we lined them up when it was time to reveal the answers. I did a “Secret handshake contest” where guests had 2 hours to find a partner and practice a handshake routine that could include dance moves… I did a scavenger hunt race where guests had name tags on, and I picked 3 contestants at a time to start by me, run out and find a different guest in the crowd with a name beginning with a certain letter, and race to be first to bring one back to me. I have MC/DJ’s the process of bringing award recipients to the podium, where I read what the award was for and named the winner, and at the same time I played a song snippet matching either the award theme, the job the person had, or the person’s name. I MC’d a video-assisted trivia game where the company provided a slide show of various co-workers and participants had to name them to win points. I have done inter-department contests, where each department would gather in a group and decide which person to send out to participate in a dance challenge, where I would judge the best dancer in a series of song snippets that refer to dance moves…I would play the snippet first, then the group would discuss it for 30 seconds, then I would line up the selected dancers and play the snippet again. I DJ’d a special crazy dance for “All New Employees” in a hazing - style event where they were all forced to dance for an entire song while everyone watched them and commented on their dancing skills. My favorite routine ever was a convention of law enforcement personnel who were told to dress up in a costume as a super hero nobody has heard of before – My part was to bring them out onto the floor one at a time to announce their name and superpower. Some of them had music to go with their superpower, or had me come up with something related to the theme. There is a video of this group doing various dances on my Youtube channel called “How to Rock a Convention in Minnesota” https://youtu.be/wIjxjLCz5IM |
