DJ Bruce
DJ Service

I got my hands on a set of turntables when I was in my late teens, and my journey into turntablism and DJing began. This journey has taken me to playing the smallest martini lounge, to enormous night clubs and bars, to the smallest and largest of wedding receptions. I certainly can play and am familiar with the majority of most music genres!  I DJ several nightlife venues here on the Outer Banks throughout the week, which I think is very important because it requires me to constantly stay up-to-date with new music, and it keeps me DJ’ing during the wedding off-season(December-February).
