1. Introduction: What's your story?

Hi I am Daniel, the founder and head DJ of Luniks Entertainment. The start to my DJ story happened back in 2005-2006 as I prepared to head to college at The University of Illinois in Champaign. I always had a love for music ever since I was 10 years old. Whether a cassette, cd player or I pod, I always had my hands on a device to play music. This love intensified my freshman year in college as I joined a fraternity in which one of the older brothers was a DJ. I still remember the first party in which he was the DJ and instead of enjoying the party, I stood by his side all night watching every single thing he did as he deejayed and made the crowd dance! At this moment, I fell in love with deejaying and feel in love with making people dance and have a good time!

I soon pieced together a turntable set up at home to practice and start making mixes. Within one year, I was deejaying Fraternity parties all over campus and eventually making my way into one of the bars in Champaign. By my Junior year I was deejaying 3-5 nights per week all over campus. It was then, I was approached by a good friend to ask if I could deejay her sister's wedding. I happily accepted knowing that I had to prepare and make sure I was able to take care of her. I reached out to a mentor DJ who had done weddings and private events before, and he helped me train to become a great MC and coordinator. Once I did my first wedding, I realized that I had a passion for helping people celebrate important moments in their lives. I feel in love with every aspect of a wedding, from planning to schedule creation, and of course music! It has been 15 years and the loves and passion remain the same!
