Chuck did such an awesome job. If you want an experienced DJ that literally loves what he does, Chuck is that person. His personality, professionalism, & sincere thoughtfulness was what we received. He was very accommodating in what we needed & his suggestions were very much appreciated and accepted. He made sure to pronounce all the names correctly when introducing the bridal party and really took those extra step in getting it done right. We had the pleasure as the brides parents to have him sit with us through dinner and he was a delight. Chuck, thank you for making our family feel comfortable & confident (especially my granddaughter Scarlett). We have great memories and you were a part of them.

Mike was Excellent. He really turned it up and kept us dancing. He is an awesome DJ but he is also an awesome person. He helped to make it all work. He took care of everything from the music to the bouqut toss and garder toss. We played the shoe game which was a lot of fun. Mike was hands on. Making sure we were happy. And let me tell you...We were ecstatic! I recommend Mike and I have a good friend in him now too. He is a bi lingual DJ and Im proud he was ours. Muchas Gracia Mike. He played music for everything. The cost was well worth it. You will get your monies worth and you will be proud. Just as we are now. I give him 5 stars because he is worth it all. ​

Moving Music, from the moment we spoke, was the best choice for us. They had our best interests in mind and it showed. The DJ was more than accommodating with everything and the photo booth was a huge hit. I cant say enough how happy we are with the choice we made. I highly recommend Moving Music over anyone else. Thank you DJ Chuck and most importantly Dan.

DJ Tony

Hi my name is Tony and I started my career with Moving Music in the Mid 80’s as a sound system setup guy. After being schooled by some of the DJ greats who helped build Moving Music, I took off DJing about 10 years ago and have loved it ever since.

My favorite part of DJing is connecting with people, and knowing that I played a small part in making an event successful and joyous for everyone. You can’t go wrong with any of our DJs. I pride myself as being a well-organized professional who provides an exciting event for all ages and who is personally committed to making your event special.

Hi My Name is DJ Danny “D” and I have been a performer since the age of 5. This has made me evolve into one of the most well rounded, entertaining and experienced professionals on the DJ circuit. I have a true passion for all styles and genres of music and truly love what I do. I have played different instruments and grew up in a huge family with many tastes in music from swing, country, metal, pop, classic rock, jazz, club, techno, and classics. This has taught me how to truly mix and master different music styles letting me know where to put the right song at the right moment. I believe in offering a state-of-the-art, fun, sophisticated style whether performing in a tavern or a wedding reception.
I understand that on your one grand day I will be creating and setting memories that will last a lifetime for you, your guests, closest friends, and family. I believe in seeing your event/ceremony/reception as a movie that you wrote to tell your story, there is a beginning, a middle, and an end, with some surprises along the way.
So what are we waiting for? Let’s get started!

Hi my name is Mike Clavell also known as DJ Jesterz and I have officially joined Moving Music in 2015. I have been interested in mixing music since the rewind and record buttons broke on my tape player recording mixes from live radio stations trying to cut out the commercials 25 years ago. My father introduced me to Elvis Presley at a very young age at the same time my mother would listen to Nina Simone while cooking dinner for the family. Other inspirations are my other family members such as my older brother listening to Hip Hop and my older sister who was into Freestyle and club music. As digital age progressed, so did my affinity for music with the invention of the CD player/CD recorder. I started recording mixes which included all genres of music and becoming a successful nightclub DJ in cities such as Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and as far as guest spots in Toronto and Miami FL. The computer age is where I am at my best along with my top of the line equipment and state of the art software all tied together to make your event a seamless party EXTRAVAGANZA!! I love customer service and can’t wait to help you make your event unforgettable!!!

DJ Luke Neveau

Hello, I am DJ Luke and I have always been referred to as “MR. MUSIC”. When I was ten years old I received my first stereo for my birthday and ever since then I have been obsessed with music. I started buying records and tapes at a young age and before I knew it, I was mixing on “2 Turntables and a Microphone” making mix tapes for all of my friends. I was a disc jockey in the 90’s at Jacobi’s, No Names & Cheers. I always wanted to make people happy playing what they wanted, so it was no surprise that I started to DJ Weddings, Parties & School Dances. In 2008 I graduated from SAE Institute of Audio Technology with a diploma in Audio Engineering. I have a total 17 years of DJ & customer service experience. I am a detailed oriented person with a fun personality and know just the right song two get your butt on the dance floor.
See You on the dance floor,

Dj Tim Clifton

Since 1984 Tim Clifton set out to start as different type of Mobile Entertainer. One that could provide clients with unique entertainment experiences not found elsewhere. A veteran of the nightclub scene, Tim found that there was a huge desire for mobile DJs who did more than just press buttons. His concept was simple; provide a DJ service who can a mix, work a crowd and provide a party atmosphere! The simple fact is that I enjoy helping others have a great time. I do that by playing what you like to hear. Yes… I really do play requests!

When Russell was a young boy he lived in a duplex in Cheektowaga. While other boys would be playing with their little trucks and toys I would be playing with my portable DJ turntable pretending to be a DJ. I went to college for communications, I worked full time as a DJ at a volleyball Bar to help put me through school and while attending school I interned at Kiss 98.5 FM in Buffalo. Once my internship ended I went to the Columbia school of broadcasting to further my education. I then landed my first radio gig in Bradford PA WESB AM I worked at the station as an on the air personality for 2 years and then moved to the Carolinas where I worked at the New 94.1 FM for another 2 years. I decided it was time to open up my DJ business in North Carolina and some 16 years later I continue to rock the parties and take care of our valued customers. I am now working my way back home to Buffalo and have joined the Moving Music! I look forward to making your event memorable!!

Hello I Am DJ Jerid (aka DJ-JAYRED). I have been with Moving Music since 2020. Growing up I always loved music, it was a bonus that I got to grow up with my Dad being a DJ. When I was very young I was exposed to ALL genres of music from Country to Hip Hop and all in between! It started when I was just 10 years old and my dad took me to my very first gig EVER and I fell in love ever since. When I turned 13 I started to DJ all of the School Dances with my dad. Year by Year it grew more and more on me. Fast forward to 2017 my dad gave me a Numark Mixtrack, a laptop, and a speaker. He told me if you want to be on your own you need to practice. Shortly after I became the DJ at at a roller rink and that is where I mainly worked on my MC’ing and Crowd Interaction. From there I took it right to weddings and private parties and have done more than 100 events in the past 4 years !!! My main thing being a DJ is ALWAYS making sure the clients and their guests are happy at all times!! I work very close with my clients to ensure that everything goes very smoothly the day of their event! I would recommend any of the DJs Here at Moving Music as we put our all in our events for all of our future clients !!! Dance with ya later , DJ Jerid

Hi my name is DJ Mullen and I only feel at home when I’m preforming.  Growing up I was introduced to many great artist and bands early on and developed a love for music because of this.  Being exposed to a vast array of genres, from has made me open to any style of music, which in turn helps me cater to any dance floor.  This coupled with my experience as a podcaster has crafted a personality you will want at all if you’re scents. So whether you want to keep it classy to some “Oldies but Goodies”  or you would prefer to get down with some 90s hip hop, I’ll come prepared and fully stocked to make sure the party does not stop till you say it does.
