DJ Obie 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Forest City, IA

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

DJ Obie “The Hype Specialist” rocked our wedding reception! The name does not lie! He got people dancing, learning new moves, playing games, and most importantly, he brought people together through song and dance. It was very special to see people getting down, letting loose, and smiling. I even sent DJ Obie choreography for a group dance, and he took the time to learn it and dance with us! If you have the opportunity to have him deejay your wedding or special event, take it! You will not regret it.

From the humble beginnings of spinning my K-Tel, KISS, ABBA and Foreigner records for my stuffed animals as a young kid in the 70s - to DJing for thousands at a Minnesota Wild event to playing campfire songs on an acoustic guitar and doing skits for 1 million people on KDWBs DAVE RYAN IN THE MORNING show, along with being a bassist of 40 years for cover bands Hairball, Arch Allies and RockGodz & original acts Rainmaker and 1000 Pleasures.

It's my superpower.
