THE SCOOP

Our reputation in the wedding & special event industries speaks for itself. Our attitude towards special event music is fresh, and doesn’t rely on the Chicken Dance or YMCA to fill the floor.

True North DJs is always looking for:

• DJs who can adjust, accommodate & play any style of music, on any given night.

• DJs who are willing to step in and do what it takes for the overall success of an event.
• DJs who are “good people” first, solid party rockers second.
• DJs who care about the success of the clients’ event, while spinning a variety of classic, well known party hits… BUT… who aren’t afraid to push the limits when the time is right.
