I began my career DJing in bars and clubs and later transitioned into the private events scene. With a wealth of experience, I am extremely capable of delivering a diverse selection of music to cater for all tastes, whether it’s a wedding, birthday or corporate event. I am passionate about music and I love to get people dancing! I will always go the extra mile to ensure that flawless customer service is provided. I am highly skilled at taking even just a few songs that are mentioned or requested on the night, and basing a playlist off of them that will blow the roof off the venue! I am great at reading the dancefloor and knowing exactly what song to play to really level up the atmosphere at key moments. I specialise in 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, 00’s, Motown, Disco, Classic Rock And Roll, all the way up to current Chart, Pop, R&B, Hip Hop, Rock, Indie, Country, as well as Old School Garage, House and Dance Classics.

Thank you so much Wiebeke! I'm really glad the party went so well!

We had the pleasure to work with Lead Events for our wedding reception after we met them at a wedding showcase. They were very friendly and knowledgeable. Prior to the day we were able to send our song suggestions, as well as anything we didn't like so they could understand what would work on the day musically. Jared received lots of compliments from the guests as they all loved his music with many saying "Best wedding ever!". This was largely down to how expertly Jared led us through the evening while having the dancefloor packed all night! We could not have asked for a better DJ and we are so thankful for his services!

Jared is a fantastic and reliable DJ. Everyone had the best time at my husbands 40th party. We told Jared the type of music that he liked and he created a brilliant play list to keep the dance floor filled all night. The stand looked great and had some extra lighting which worked well. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.
