DJ ANDY SOUL’S STORY

"Renderer of infectious dance vibes and a party-igniter like no other." That's how I’ve described myself as a DJ. My eclectic mixology is best described as a story of soulful-infused blends with influences in Hip Hop, RnB, Reggaeton, Pop, EDM, and Classic Rock. I’ve always considered myself an artist at heart. My interest in music transcends mixing tunes. Growing up, I adopted my parents' appreciation for Motown and Funk. As well, my love for Hip Hop started at a young age. It grew through my experience as a break-dancer and graffiti/portrait artist.

EARLY MUSIC CAREER

I continued with my pursuit of music as a tenor saxophonist with my high-school jazz band. I later expanded my skills as a guitarist and singer, performing at various coffee shops, open mics, and cultural functions throughout the years. I then formed a Vancouver-based cover band as lead singer of “Phazers On Stun,” performing at Bimini’s Public House, the Displace Neighbourhood Pub in Kitsilano, and several other venues. My skills as a music entertainer continued to be honed in performing various covers of classic rock, blues, 80’s, and pop tunes. While simultaneously performing in my band and DJ’ing, I started my own mobile DJ company and live band service, entitled "Andy Soul Entertainment". After just a few years of running the business, there was an increased demand from wedding and corporate clients for DJ services. Based on this, I decided to retire from “Phazers on Stun” in Fall 2018 in order to concentrate on developing my business further with DJ’ing being at the forefront of the services provided.

CORPORATE CLIENTS

As a DJ, I have performed at various special events for "big name" corporate clients including Pemberton Music Festival, VGC International School, New Image College, Steve Nash Fitness World, SpinHouse, Gold’s Gym, and Armani Exchange, just to name a few. As well, I have been hired each year to DJ for several government agencies for various holiday parties. I am also resident DJ at both Moxie's Bar & Grill Guildford and the “ILoveKickBoxing” Coquitlam studio. As such, I stay connected with the trends of Top 40 Hits amongst a young, urban crowd of clients.

WEDDING DJ EXTRAORDINAIRE

Through my company, I have DJ’d a multitude of events, including cultural/fusion weddings and corporate functions. When not DJ'ing events with Andy Soul Entertainment, I also work for Canada's LEADING Wedding DJ company, Airwaves Music. I find wedding gigs to be highly satisfying based on the sense of satisfaction of being a vital part of the newlyweds’ special day! I treat each wedding as a cherished milestone event in my DJ’ing career.

MY ONGOING VISION

Singer, Artist, Promoter, and mobile DJ company owner - these roles play an integral part in my profile and have contributed to my skills as a renowned DJ. "But most importantly, for me it all about setting up the groove on the dance floor, taking the party-goers on a musical journey, and maintaining the energy, regardless of era, category, tempo, or genre of music".
