A little bit about me
Welcome To My Home Page Tom’s love for music began at an early age when he was exposed to a vast variety of music as a child. He enjoyed music in his teenage years and started playing part-time in pubs at the age of 17. In 1981 he turned professional playing music at mobile events. Whether it’s a Dinner & Dance, Seminar, Birthdays, Theme Parties, Weddings, Road Shows, Sports Events etc…, he has done it all. Tom began building his music software library and has been known by many for carrying a huge luggage of CDs for his events. His repertoire base is filled with selections from every genre of music to suit any occasion and theme. In 2005, Tom started to cater to the niche but growing dancegr.com community by specializing in Ballroom, Latin and social dancing music. Over the years Tom honed his natural given talent for selecting and playing music by working as a Ballroom DJ for local events, dance studios, clubs, weddings, corporate, singles, and private party events. His genuine love for music has allowed Tom to utilize his passion to master the complex art of positively influencing a group of people through masterful programming because he truly understands academically as well as emotionally how music affects the overall tone and ultimate success of any event.

Music with a heart
Music is the heart of every succesful entertainment event. And music with a heart makes it successful. We emphasize a variety of music that moves all your guests. Our emcees are tasteful, pleassantly interactive, and responsive to their audience. They are sensitive to the feelings of the group and your requirements. The finest gives you more and costs less in the end result. Of course, our prices are competitive. But we also have proven that the heart of the entertainment - the music system - makes the party. If your guests are having a good time with "their" music, they are less interested in the hall, the amount or selection of food and drink, or other side effects. The presentation we provide will enliven any group of people. We care about our reputation. No one can "turn on" an audience like we can. Tune us in at your next party. YMusic trivia
