"You see, every DJ gets the same opportunity. They get to DJ for four or five hours to entertain a crowd. The question is, what are they going to do in those four or five hours that’s gonna blow peoples minds away and make them say "wow this was the best DJ I’ve ever had. I’ve never seen anyone like this before!". It's not about playing the newest music or having the most expensive equipment. It's all about how you use that time to engage with your guests and make sure they have a night they will never forget."
The above quote is something the Derek Galiffa often says to people when they are deciding on a DJ. Derek has been entertaining crowds since the age of 16 and has had a lot of time to perfect his craft. He knows how to read a crowd and keep the party going all night long. When he is not DJing for private parties and weddings, he is the official pregame DJ for the Pittsburgh Steelers where he has DJ’d every home game for the last 6 years out the back of an F150 pick up truck in front of a packed stadium with over 68,000 fans. You can read more about that in the Observer Reporter magazine here, and has also featured in Pittsburgh Magazine multiple times.
