About DJ Paddy

Experienced and Versatile DJ and Musician from UK's south coast, having played at numerous gigs and weddings, and can supply all equipment.
DJ
Chichester
Public liability insurance of £1 million

Hi! My name is Patrick and I am a DJ and Multi-Instrumentalist Musician from Chichester, West Sussex. I am an experienced musician who has played at numerous large weddings and venues across the UK. I am a very versatile and fun musician who wants to liven up the crowd and give them the most enjoyable experience on the dancefloor as possible! I can spin any genre of music on the decks depending on the crowd's preferences, with my favourites being dance, pop/disco, old school R&B, and salsa/latin (which I grew up playing on guitar.) I have played guitar for fifteen years and piano for five. If needed, I can integrate these instruments (and drum pad) in my DJ sets, giving a unique and innovative performance to offer if required. My experience includes large weddings where I can play any genre (see songlist), venues such as large bars, work events, and concerts (playing solo guitar, where I have achieved grade eight and have an A Level in Music) I have all equipment needed for venues that are without existing speakers for example. I own two Alto Active PA Speakers - both 300 Watts, as well as amplifiers and party lights (2 moving head LEDs and 5 Par Bar Lights, including strobe and laser) . The DJ sets can be with or without instruments - this equipment is Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, Keyboard, and Drum Pad. In my DJ Career, I go by the artist name Quota, and have over 75,000 streams altogether on platforms such as Spotify. The genre I produce is Funky Dance/House music, where I again integrate instruments into the tracks that are released worldwide. So far, I have released seven singles and one album, which have been played on BBC Introducing radio shows and other local radio stations on the south coast.

Overall DJ Paddy was good, but I don't think his style suited my event. Needed a bit more interaction with the crowd, and really wanted to hear the electric guitar stand out over the track a it more. Thank you for Djing at my event.

Patrick DJ'd at the reception and played guitar at the ceremony at our wedding, he was fantastic and perfectly suitable for what we required. He played 'Make you Feel My Love' on acoustic guitar at our request. It was beautifully played and added a special feel to our ceremony. The dance party music afterwards was so much fun! Lots of classics and feel good family songs all evening, we all had a blast! He was able to play any requests asked, including for the kids! The equipment including the lights etc was a very nice addition. Thanks so much again.
