History of Beat Crazy

The "Beat Crazy" concept came about in the late 90's, a group of eclectic dj minds from all walks of life melting together in the Fox Valley as a collective. The enthusiasm and passion from those days carried well past college into the new millennium. Having played my first gig in 1997, I was hooked and I've never looked back.

Growing up in a classic rock family, the 90's was an incredible time to come of age as a teenager and young adult. musically  The influence of hip-hop, EDM, grunge, alternative, folk rock and a host of every other music genre was undeniable; it was a great time to learn the craft of becoming a "real dj."  Of course in those days, we were still using records, cassettes, laser disc's and eventually cd's - giving way to the all mighty MP3. Regardless of the media form, the love and passion for people, fun and memories never faltered.

I guess you could say I came up "the old fashioned way," in a tough business and industry learning the ropes of what it really meant to entertain. I had worked for several other local dj companies in SE WI, learning the ins and outs of how to run a successful DJ business. Having dj'd hundreds of weddings, school functions, bar nights, clubs, festivals, and pretty much any type of party you can imagine; 20+ years later I'm as passionate as ever.

Beat Crazy Entertainment was formalized in the early 00's, a grass roots, self-made business that has grown into more than I could have ever imagined. Sincere in our mission - "let us set the mood for your memories." Each and every client, couple and family over this time has come to be part or our extended "Beat Crazy Family."  

The memories I have over the years are simply incredible.  So many families have brought us into reaches of the most important celebrations one could imagine. Weddings, graduations, anniversaries, birthday's, fund-raisers, good ol' fashioned shin-digs - really any reason to celebrate life and love, to say I'm grateful is a gross understatement.

To anyone we may cross paths with in the future, we are humble and honored to be part of your life, if even for a night or a few hours.  The gratitude and appreciation I have for each and every opportunity to celebrate life and music together is unexplainable.  

If I can imagine the next 20 years to be as influential on my life as the last 20, I will know that I have chosen the right path in life. I was once told by the mother of a bride that I was given an amazing gift to "make people have fun." I have never forgotten that and I am blessed to have a true passion for what we do.

With love, respect and admiration -

Musically yours,
