About shawn j

DJ
Croydon

Been DJing professionally for about three years now and enjoy making people dance and have a good time. Used to be a resident Dj at a lounge in West London until it closed. I’ve done numerous event parties. Music is one of my passions! I like listening as well as playing, and watching people enjoy themselves. I mix all genres, from hip hop to old-school classics. As you'll see if you listen to my mixes, I'm universal when it comes to music selection. Feel free to check out live clips recorded at events I played at and listen to some of my mixes in the "Watch & Listen" section at the top of my Encore profile. Send me a message to enquire about my availability and prices by clicking on the green "Check availability" button. House, Garage, RnB, Hip Hop, Drum n Bass, Old school, Soul, Reggae, Radio charts, Pop, Afro Beats, Cheese, Dance classics. LONDON, U.K. based.

Shawn arrived early, and created an excellent playlist based off of 8 songs requested. Everyone kept saying how good the music was. Couldn’t recommend Shawn more.

Overall pleased. He wasn’t that accommodating with us asking him to work around a small space. Was a bit disappointed with how he communicated with my husband/groom. However, music was good when it was on

Hi Angela, a bit confused about your review but apologies if you feel that way. All my reviews speak for themselves if you’ve noticed so how I conduct myself is consistent and professional at all times. All I did was wait for the band person to clear away his equipment then I played my set. There was no communication between your husband and I besides that. I understand you guys were drinking all day for your celebration so maybe that played a part. Wish you guys the best.

Shawn was the ultimate profressional - our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the music he was playing. He brought all of his own equipment and really contributed to an amazing evening. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Our DJ Shawn for my husbands birthday, was brilliant! I gave him full responsibility of what music to play as we like it all and really didn’t care what genre was played. He took requests all night in which I was more than happy with as we had a few older kids who wanted certain songs!
