Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Solo performer
  • Serves Bradenton, FL

Al has been delighting audiences for his entire career. With his souring voice & subtle phrasing, he transforms any song into a "musical journey." His vocal stylings will make you swear that Bobby Darin, Louie Armstrong, Stevie Wonder, Elvis or Sinatra are in the room, singing! His stage presence & comedic timing will have you laughing till you cry & then his romantic ballads and beautiful Broadway melodies, will put a lump in your throat. All truly does it all!

Al is a pleasure to work with, as well.as being one of the most talented singers we have ever heard....and believe me we have heard alot! Al's talent, music choices and personality had people up.on the dance floor that haven't danced in years! My husband and I were both amazed , so we already plan on having Al at all our parties going forward. Al can sing anything and it all sounds fantastic! He had music for everyone, from our 20 year old nieces and nephews to our 80(s) years old Aunts and Uncles...everyone was happy! I can not say it enough Al made our celebration one to remember, I have gotten so many cards from friends and family saying how much fun they had. All thanks to Al's talent!

On our big day, he delivered an experience that exceeded our expectations—the music was spot-on, and his addition of live trumpet was the perfect touch that got everyone on the dance floor. Our guests are still talking about how seamless the night flowed and how fun the whole evening felt.

Jam All Day Sound and Entertainment began from my love of music and motivating people to dance and have a great time. I’m passionate about what I do and the energy and excitement I bring to each event has led to my success. I feel blessed that my clients go out of their way to recommend me to their friends and family. I love hearing about how everyone enjoyed the music selection and how it appealed to all age groups.

Jamaal was an absolutely incredible DJ who went above and beyond to make our wedding unforgettable. After being severely impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, we had to switch venues and move from a ballroom to a tent. Despite all the challenges, Jamaal showed professionalism and dedication. We especially loved the photo mirror he brought—it was such a fun, modern twist on the classic photo booth! He provided plenty of props that our guests loved using for memorable photos, and gave us a book with a collection of photos our guests had taken through out the evening via the mirror, such a special gift from our day! Jamaal also brought beautiful uplighting that transformed our tent into the ultimate dancing destination. He handled every detail with care, creating special and unique moments that truly made our day feel like ours. I would highly recommend Jamaal to anyone looking for an experienced, fun DJ who knows how to get people on the dance floor—and who can even pronounce the trickiest last names flawlessly!

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.

After a long career DJing clubs, radio, and more I can honestly say nothing is more rewarding than weddings. Just knowing that my music bonds families and helps them enjoy themselves on their most important day is a feeling that can't be replicated at any other gig. When I began getting requested for weddings, I saw a void for club DJs in the industry, so I picked the best and started Shut Down Productions. In addition to our DJ & MC services, we have grown to be a one stop shop by also offering photo booths, lighting, special effects and more to make your celebration even better.
