I hired John to play at our neighborhood block party. He is super easy to work with and I received so many compliments on him during the night. What we all appreciated the most is he is kid friendly and while he still played songs from my request list that included Kid Rick and Bruno Mars - there were no swears and no explicit words. We loved the bubble machine and karaoke. We are definitely using him again bc he was polite kind and really easy to work with.

Had the pleasure of hiring FOGG Sound for our wedding last month. So professional, courteous and friendly. Very easy to deal with and always returned calls or emails quickly. Respected our wishes in terms of what we wanted and didn't want and was able to get a read on the crowd quickly and kept the dance floor full all night long. Worked very well with the event staff and other vendors at our facility. I'd recommend them 100 times out of a 100 to anyone looking for a reliable, professional and reasonably priced DJ.
