Eric
I graduated from St. Cloud State with a BA in Communications and am Musical Moments' most experienced DJ. I have been DJing since age 17 and have been with Musical Moments for 10 years. Known as our traveling DJ, I have traveled to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Lutsen and the Iron Range for our clients. My easy-going, yet energetic personality is contagious to all who meet me. My knowledge of music spans all genres and I have a passion and commitment to make sure everyone has a good time. I am a "people person" who has the ability to go from low-key to high energy and whatever it takes to keep you and your crowd going. When not DJing I enjoy mountain biking, coaching and playing soccer. I have been married for 14 years and have 2 daughters.

I officially started as a DJ in 2002. I started out doing weddings and small clubs, worked up through larger clubs and now specialize in weddings. I enjoy weddings and I love making the bride and groom's night memorable and special, while not forgetting to have fun and make them laugh along the way.
I pride myself on humor and crowd participation to make my shows the best they can be. Country, rock, R&B, Hip Hop and oldies are among the many styles of music that I enjoy. I am always willing to try new things and learn new styles of music and new mixes of crowd-pleasing songs. I also enjoy golfing, singing karaoke and spending time with the newest addition to my family - my daughter, Madison.

I have been DJing for 5 years now and am very passionate about what I do! I went to school for Audio Recording and graduated with an A.A.S. Degree and Diploma in May of 2007. I have been working in radio broadcasting as a radio personality on Love105 and 93X, since six months before I graduated college. Every special occasion I get the privilege to DJ, I give it my all. I'm talking little details, like calling you a week before your special day to see if you have any last minute questions, to big details like teaching your family and friends dance moves to get everyone involved and on the dance floor on your joyous occasion, and believe me; that is a given when you get me as your DJ!
All the details involved with your occasion are very important to me and our company. Musical Moments is definitely a great company to work for and is THE company to go for to celebrate your special day; very organized, willing to work out any special details for you, all the DJ's are great with people, fun and real; and most of all have been doing this for years!

I have been DJing since 1997. My DJ experiences include college radio in River Falls and nightclub promotions with Brian Zep of KQRS and various clubs with KDWB. My love and knowledge of music spans all genres. I grew up listening to everything from jazz- standards to country and R&B-Hip hop. At age 4, my Dad taught me to play the drums. He and I would spend many hours listening to LP's -he would quiz me on music and I learned to enjoy and appreciate many classic artists, such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, The Beatles, and Johnny Cash.
Because I grew up immersed in music, it is part of who I am. I take pride in my music knowledge - I know all genres and I enjoy the challenge of someone trying to stump me with a request. Name a few lyrics and I will usually have the song cued up and ready to go. My favorite part of being a DJ is getting to meet so many new people every day. Many of my clients become good friends because I get to know them personally, not just as a client. I love talking to and getting to know brides and grooms, as well as their families and guests.
My goal of every show is to vibe with the crowd and that everyone has fun and dances their heart out. The greatest rewards are seeing the smile on the bride and groom's face as they leave at the end of the night and seeing a crowded dance floor and having the people begging for one last song because they don't want the night to end.
Carmen
I have been DJing for Musical Moments since 2004. I have always loved music and appreciate many different genres. I really don't have a favorite - I love everything from Motown and the 80's to jazz and classic rock. I love weddings and I feel privileged to get to participate in your celebration. My favorite part of DJing is that every night is different. Every couple and crowd is unique and it is fun to interact with them and see them having a great time.
When I want to relax I enjoy camping, reading a good book or watching old movies. Some of my other life experiences include a B.S. degree in Biology from the University of Minnesota and various internships working with wildlife and the environmental sciences.
Cal
I have been mixing music for 12 years. During that time I have come to know and like many types of music. Some genres that top my list are old school (80's and 90's), top 40, and disco. To this day mixing music is one of my favorite past times, whether I am DJing a wedding, corporate function or at a club - I'm happy just to be playing music. In addition to music I have a degree in geography, travel and tourism, from St. Cloud State. I also enjoy any outdoor activity. I am a huge believer that it is not the activity you take part in, but it's the company you're with.
Tim
I have been a DJ since 1999 and have done hundreds of shows In the Twin Cities. I absolutely love to DJ; it's a passion for me not just a job for me! I always bring my A game and strive to ensure a seamless and flawless night, for all guests. I really get a great feeling from working with brides and grooms at their receptions, and always try to bring a personal touch. When I'm not a DJ I love spending time with my daughter Tessa, age 8 and taking her to water parks during the summer.
