We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Brian Adams. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Brian below.
Brian, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
I started out as an elementary PE teacher but after our second child was born, I knew I wouldn’t be a teacher forever. I was asked to DJ a party, and from that party someone asked me to DJ once again. From that moment I knew I wanted to bring joy to people by being part of their celebrations! This business arrangement also solved our childcare problem and I was able to become a Stay-at-home Dad with our two kids and work on the weekends. I love music, I love people, and I love helping give people a party to remember, so transitioning to becoming a DJ was right up my alley.
Brian, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
My goal with B-Rockin Parties is to be a DJ like no other and to give an experience that is unique and special. When booking a party with B-Rockin Parties, you are getting a mobile DJ who not only plays music but will also take the time to get to know you and cater the event to what you desire. I get out on the dance floor to encourage people to dance, I take requests and my background in elementary PE helps me interact well with kids and I can play games that kid’s enjoy. I bring the entertainment to kids birthday parties so all the parents have to do is bring the cake while I entertain the kids. Or I can help get the party going at your wedding or anniversary or neighborhood event.
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
What helped me build my reputation is my personality and people skills. I love to engage with people and find out what makes them, them! I believe people like the way I make them feel and how I strive to make their party/event the best it can be. I am also involved or have been involved in many other avenues around my community, like church, fitness coaching, or a school teacher which helps get my name out there as someone who is fun, energetic and would be great to have work their event.
We’d love to hear about how you met your business partner.
In the 8 years of running B-Rockin Parties I always said I would never be able to or never feel comfortable bringing on another DJ. I would book an event and then someone else would ask for an event on that same day and I would have to turn them down because I was already booked. Or I would feel like I needed to take an event because I didn’t have very many during the month and I was going to not meet the budget, so I would miss out on a family event. People would say to me that I needed a second person to help with the business so I could take on more events or be at my kids activities, but I never had the right person in mind. That is until I asked my brother, Tyler to help me at one of my events and he was hooked. He asked to help again and then I realized we pretty much have the same personality and people skills and maybe this was the person I was looking for to bring on board as a second DJ. I asked him if he would be interested and he was all for it. It helps him earn some extra money and it helps me grow my business by doing two events on the same day and to get the business out in front of more customers. So as of 2023 there are 2 DJs with B-Rockin Parties!
