Important information for those who have bookmarked this page:
As of February 1, 2007, I will be no longer DJ'ing. I have had some health concerns lately that have forced me to give up DJ'ing and I will now be focusing on my saxophone performing career. Many thanks to those who have hired me to be their DJ over the past few years, it's been a pleasure being a part of so many wonderful weddings! If you would like live music for your event, please contact me.
Craig has been active in the south
Florida music scene for over 16 years, having performed many weddings,
corporate events, jazz gigs, as well as
in a variety of other musical settings. A professional musician with a
music degree from the University of Miami, Craig has performed with international
celebrities, Broadway shows, local bands, symphony orchestras, and has been the
leader of many of his own groups. His professionalism and easy-going personality have made him a favorite with many wedding
planners, agents, and
event coordinators throughout southwest Florida. Craig is also on the preferred vendor lists at many of the finest
establishments in Sanibel, Captiva, Fort Myers, and Naples. He has
performed at many wedding ceremonies, wedding receptions, corporate events and
private parties at the Ritz-Carlton, the Registry Resort, Hyatt Coconut Point in Bonita, Tween Waters
Inn, Casa Ybel Resort, South Seas Plantation, Marco Marriot, Sanibel Harbor
Resort, and many other venues. Craig is one of the most highly recommended and
in-demand performers in south Florida. With his vast musical experience,
Craig knows how to plan the perfect music for your event!
When it comes to quality, Craig's sound systems are the very best available. All of his songs, whether it be solo with accompaniment or for DJ, are contained on 2 Apple 17" G4 computers, the most reliable portable computer in the world. In addition, all songs are backed-up on 2 Apple Ipods and an additional sound system is brought to each event, just in case! Other equipment includes: Sennheiser and Shure microphones, a Shure concert series wireless mic (for speeches, toasts, etc.), Lexicon reverb/delay, and optional lighting/effects packages to create the ideal atmosphere for your event.
Craig has different sound systems to choose from:
The first, and smallest, is the high quality Bose L1 system. Although nearly invisible (it looks like a thin pole), the Bose L1 puts out a tremendous amount of high quality sound. No speaker stands, excess wires laying around, and easy to move from one location to another, this small system is perfect for small to medium sized rooms.
The next system features 2 or 4 Bose 802's, 1 or 2 QSC 2400-watt power amps and an 1800-watt compact subwoofer. Although small and virtually invisible, these systems are extremely efficient and capable of the finest quality sound for dinner music and dancing.
For venues that want a small system that really cranks(!), I have 2 Mackie SRM-450's that will absolutely SCREAM!!!! For most small rooms I will just bring these speakers because they are unbelievable and provide plenty of bass. But if it's a bass-heavy, booty-dancing crowd, I'll bring out the big sub's (Mackie SWA1801's, 1 or 2 depending on the room size).
The biggest system is a pair of Mackie SA1521 2 way powered 15-inch speakers with 2 Mackie SWA1801 powered 18-inch subwoofers, capable of maximum volume and bass(!), ideal for large groups. I can also combine the above systems as necessary for specific venues.
Whether playing for 2 or 2000
people, Craig has the sound to make it perfect!
