  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Charlotte, TN

My passion as a DJ in my business stems from my love for music, creative expression through mixing and sets, connecting with audiences, continuous learning and improvement in my craft, and the entrepreneurial challenge of building a successful enterprise. These factors combine to fuel my enthusiasm and fulfillment in my DJ career. I love DJing weddings because it allows me to celebrate love and happiness, create memorable experiences through music, connect personally with couples and guests, adapt creatively to each unique event, grow professionally, and receive heartfelt appreciation for enhancing such special occasions.

Quite frankly Dj Syxx is the only DJ I will hire from now on. His wide range of musical musical selections, which is very important to me made it possible for every guest in my event to have a great time. I recently had the pleasure of attending an event where DJ Syxx was the headlining DJ, and I must say, it was an incredible experience! From start to finish, DJ Syxx's set was a masterclass in creating an unforgettable atmosphere. The energy was electric, and the crowd couldn't get enough of the expertly curated mix of tracks. DJ Syxx's ability to read the room and adapt the music to the audience's vibe was truly impressive. Each transition was seamless, and the mix of genres kept everyone on their feet. Whether you're a fan of house, hip-hop, or EDM, DJ Syxx has a unique way of blending sounds that appeal to a wide range of musical tastes. What stood out the most was DJ Syxx's genuine passion for music and the art of DJing. It was evident in every beat and transition, making the entire experience not just a performance, but a journey. The energy and enthusiasm were infectious, and it was clear that everyone in attendance was having an amazing time. If you're looking for a DJ who can elevate any event and create a memorable experience, look no further than DJ Syxx. I can't wait to attend another event where DJ Syxx is spinning.

Rob and our DJ Jordan B were so great to work with and were one of our favorite vendors for our wedding! The booking process was easy, and communication was fantastic. Any questions, requests, or info I needed was answered and addressed so quickly and efficiently, and it really makes the entire wedding planning process just that much easier. All our favorite songs playing throughout our wedding at key moments like our ceremony, reception, and first dance made the event feel so dreamy and cinematic, and I can’t thank Rob and Jordan enough for making our event so memorable. We also booked our photo booth (Feature Booth) through them, and it was the same amazing communication and day of execution. As a graphic designer, I wanted to customize the text around the photo to give it a little bit of a special touch, and they were able to accommodate this and send me a digital preview as well. They definitely know what they’re doing at Second Song and definitely a team I would recommend to couples for their upcoming weddings!

Awarded Best of Zola
Cooper Union helped us celebrate the best day of our lives on November 26, 2022! Our guests raved about how awesome the band was both during and well after our wedding. Brennan's voice is as smooth as butter and Kia hitting all the high notes in "Respect" brought down the house. Not only is the band incredibly talented, but they are genuinely nice people who have a good time performing together. They accommodated all of our requests, and we had MANY including Sam Cooke, Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan, and more (they play all the newer music too!). On top of it all, Brennan helped me surprise my wife with a private last dance to "River" by Leon Bridges. Brennan kept it a secret up to the last second and made the moment so so special for us both. Needless to say, tears of joy were flowing! Not only were they a fabulous musical group, but they seamlessly MC'd the reception including speeches, cake cutting, and pouring of the champagne tower. We livestreamed the ceremony and they let us use their mics -- the sound quality was crisp and allowed our grandmothers to hear every word of our vows. Their ability to provide a string quartet for the ceremony added a truly elegant touch and provided our guests with live music from beginning to end. With so many bands out there to consider, we could not be any happier with our choice to hire Cooper Union!!

We cannot say enough about DJ Rock Steady and his wife! They absolutely nailed it at our wedding on December 28, 2024. From start to finish, they were professional, engaging, and in total sync with the crowd, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. Ours was a dry wedding (a fun little nod to the bride's rule: “If I can’t drink, no one can!”—though we did sneak in a champagne toast). Despite the absence of alcohol, the party was nothing short of epic. We owe that entirely to DJ Rock Steady’s incredible ability to create an electric atmosphere and keep everyone having a blast. The feedback from our guests has been overwhelming—many commented that it was one of the most fun and lively weddings they’d ever attended. It's true what they say: the DJ and the caterer are the backbone of any great wedding, and we struck gold with DJ Rock Steady. His talent, energy, and charisma turned our special day into an unforgettable celebration. We wholeheartedly recommend DJ Rock Steady to anyone looking for a top-notch DJ who can truly bring an event to life. Thank you, DJ Rock Steady, a thousand times over for making our wedding so special and memorable. We’ll forever be grateful for your magic on our big day! With love and appreciation, Madi and Casey
