MSPDJs was founded in 2007 by two hip college students in the Twin Cities area. They thought that DJing for Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, School Dances, holiday events, and parties in the Twin Cities area could use some improvement, and since 2007 MSPDJs has been providing top of the line DJing and Entertainment for affordable prices, giving hundreds of guests and students parties and dances that they will never forget.Often times it seemed that entertainment at these events were not geared towards the aim of the event, or the age group of those attending. Bar/Bat Mitzvah DJs often didn’t play the music that got the kids dancing, and didn’t play music or behave in a way completely appropriate to the event that they were hired for.  Since it’s creation in 2008, MSPDJ has provided superior entertainment for events in the Twin Cities area, ensuring that the theme of event is carried through into the DJ and MC portion of the party. In addition, through various methods, MSPDJs have ensured that all events have been age-appropriate and geared towards those in the audience to make sure everyone has a great night! The two founders of MSPDJs are:

Shawn Abelson - A Student at the University of Minnesota, provides the MCing for the MSPDJ entertainment group. He grew up and graduated from St. Louis Park Senior High, and attended Beth El through his years. Working at many Bar and Bat Mitzvas has given Shawn the experience and excitement that you need to MC an event. And if that is not enough, he can pull out an endless list of fun party games and activities that will rock your night! To contact Shawn, you can e-mail him directly atShawn@MSPDJ.com

Cory Baird – Cory is a student at the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis. Also having graduated from St. Louis Park, Cory is the DJ that will rock and roll your night away. Having started off with the original record-spinning turn tables, Cory has moved on to digital DJ equipment, and has mastered our newest mixer, the Numark Total Control. Cory manages to not only keep on top of the cool music of his generation, but if you put him at a party with older or younger generations he will pull out the songs that will get everyone on the dance floor! To contact Cory, you can e-mail him directly atCory@MSPDJ.com

MSPDJs can add to their lineup! We can add the following employees to our lineup for your event:

• Dancer – Often times kids need encouragement to get out on the dance floor and have a good time. Hiring a dancer is the best way to do this. More often than not, we will hire a female dancer to the crew to help deal with any situations that arise.
• Security – Often called “Bar/Bat Mitzvah Bouncers,” are employees that can be hired for a single event to make sure everything runs smoothly. Constantly in contact via walkie-talkie, these friendly teenagers (if 18-20 year-olds are still teenagers) often are asked to ensure that kids don’t run into the street, steal things, and generally ensure that no mischief or hooligans occur that may disrupt the flow of the night. Upon request, we may offer or Bouncers service without hire of the DJ or MC
• Other – We are always open to suggestions. Contact us with any other kind of entertainment or help you need hired to make your party run smoothly and we’ll get it done!
