Julio M

In 1986 my journey began as a young dj at the age of only 14.  Breakdance was in all its glory as well as radio itself and it was a dream to be one the best djs  known in my area.I soon realized I was not restricted to just one area and with help of some family members we formed Dimension 2000.  Our goal was to make the best shows possible for all Sweet 15-16 celebrants as well as brides to be.  This journey was going strong as we covered most of the South in the Island of Puerto Rico. However I was faced with the challenge of moving and leaving all behind.  In 1989 I decided to move back to my hometown of Bethlehem PA.  After graduating High school I proceeded to go to my local community college and eventually was able to land a radio show on the college radio station 97.7 WNCC.  At that point the college decided to go off air and become an internal station only heard in college facilities as well as dorm areas.  Several years later I volunteered to do another radio show, this time on Lehigh University’s public radio station 91.3 WLVR.  Meanwhile I was still providing my services to many Brides and Sweet 15-16 celebrants.  I am fluent in both English and Spanish and have 25+ years experience covering all types of events from different backgrounds making me a well rounded choice for your special day.

Why I Became a DJ: I became a Dj because I enjoy what I do and take extreme pride in it. Music is my life and knowing I came bring joy to many with what I love makes me happy, specially when I know I can make your special day, just that……………………. S P E C I A L !!!

Wedding Planning Advice : When choosing a DJ please remember anyone can press a button. What you want is someone that has experience with all types of music and is willing to make sure your event is a success.  Please look at what type of track record they have and try to see video clips of events they have done. Our video testimonials speak for themselves.

Video is one of the most important element that most individuals neglect; video captures the moments of your life that you can show to your parents, children, or children’s children, a “time capsule”. My biggest advise to you is that you don’t make the same mistake as others and find the right indivual creative artist style that best fits you own chratistic and taste.”
