About Not A Panda

! I have a free quote builder ! I'm an easy-going, detail-oriented, but appropriately silly person who helps you stay on track both leading up to and during the event. I got my start in the business back in 2018 working for someone else, and went all-in to work exclusively as a DJ by myself in 2023. I'm highly versatile in music, having served events for young, old, Indian, Greek, Italian, Israeli, Spanish, themed parties, and more! Si quieres un DJ que se pueda hablar español, simplemente necesito tiempo para escribir mis anuncios antes del evento. Aprendiendo español, y me gusta trabajar en eventos latinos. 虽然我不能用中文对话,但我可以用普通话做公告。不过我需要提前排练,所以你得提前告诉我需要说什么。至于活动中的歌曲点播,我会带一个牌子,上面说明如何直接将歌曲添加到我专门为点歌创建的****************。

Tony was an absolute pleasure to work with. He kept the party going and even got out on the dance floor with us. So much fun.

When I first spoke with Tony (DJ Not a Panda) I was looking for a DJ for my wedding. What sold me was his confidence in his MC skills, rightfully so. He really made the night one to remember. He played great music and has great personality on the mic. He made sure to communicate with me before and throughout the night to make sure everything was what I wanted it to be. People were on the dance floor from start to finish. Tony even came out and led some of the line dances that I wanted to do but wasn’t as familiar with. I even had several of my guests tell me how great the DJ was. Tony was awesome, the night wouldn’t have been the same without him!

Great DJ! I was planning a Homecoming for a Non-profit organization and I came across Thumbtack that suggested Not a Panda, and i was pleasantly surprised how fast I got a reply and a DJ booked. He was affordable, asked all the right questions, and was super patient with all of the kids.

Absolutely amazing!! I planned my best friend’s bachelorette trip and had DJ not a panda host our last disco day and he was absolutely incredible. Great music, incredible vibes. Will definitely hire again when back in the area and we recommend anyone in Saint Petersburg/Tampa area to higher him for your next party! He had a sick set up too including a fun Photo Booth!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ than Tony for our wedding! From the very start, he totally understood our music taste and brought the exact vibe we were hoping for. He was on time, set everything up perfectly, and kept the night flowing seamlessly. Tony has an amazing ability to read the room—he knew exactly what the crowd needed and kept the energy high all night long. On top of that, he was just such a fun, genuine guy to work with and talk to. You can tell he really cares about making your event unforgettable. If I ever have another event in Southwest Florida, Tony is the only DJ I’ll be booking. He runs a tight ship, adjusts to any changes effortlessly, and makes the whole experience so enjoyable. Can’t recommend him enough!

Tony was amazing. He read the crowd and kept us going. Even dancing and teaching us moves! So wonderfully nice, professional and punctual. We couldn’t have a picked a better DJ for our wedding! Definitely spot on and we will recommend him to everyone needing a DJ for their event!❤️His colored lighting added so much to our outdoor nighttime venue.

DJ Not A Panda was amazing! Professional from the beginning. Showed up on time, played all my daughters favorite songs for her sweet 16, everyone had a blast! Plus such a nice guy! Definitely recommend him!

DJ not a Panda did our gymnastics banquet and was absolutely amazing! From communication, pricing, friendliness, and all of the above! He exceeded our expectations! We are definitely having him come back next year!

Tony (Not a Panda) was fabulous! I used Thumbtack to find a DJ for my nonprofit animal rescue event. Having limited funds, as being an animal rescue, Tony immediately responded wanting to help me and also “pay it forward” with a possible sponsorship exchange. We worked out a deal and started the process. He was very professional and responsive from day one and had online forms that made the whole process very easy and thorough. At the event itself he was again thorough ahead of time with a walkthrough of what was needed, on point with all my needed announcements and even made suggestions, cranked out the perfect tunes for the day and was so energetic MCing that you know he loves what he does! Several people commented to me how great the DJ was which was so nice to hear. I would highly recommend him, as I know you will not be disappointed!

DJ Not A Panda (Tony) Estaba buscando un DJ que hablara español y que estuviera muy familiarizado con la música española, ya que mi esposa sabe muy poco inglés. Después de hablar con algunos DJ, me encontré con DJ Not A Panda. No solo fue genial comunicarse con él, sino que tomó el control e hizo todas las preguntas correctas, y cuando tuve preguntas, me dio su mejor consejo. Esta es la primera vez que me caso, así que no tenía ni idea cuando se trataba de saber lo que se esperaba que hiciera un DJ/MC durante una ceremonia y recepción. DJ Not A Panda estaba nervioso, ya que no habla español al 100%, pero sabía lo suficiente como para confiar en que era la persona perfecta para el trabajo. Cuando llegó la fecha de la boda, DJ Not A Panda se presentó a mí y ya estaba a punto con todo el horario, los nombres y los cambios de canciones y no se saltó nada. Cuando vio a mi esposa, se presentó en español y habló con ella en español durante toda la recepción y ella me miró y comentó: "Pensé que habías dicho que solo sabía un poco de español". Ambos quedamos muy impresionados con la ética de trabajo de DJ Not A Pandas, las habilidades de comunicación y lo fluido que habla español. Lo recomendaría encarecidamente para un evento en el que se necesite un DJ/MC, especialmente para cualquier evento español. Es súper fácil de comunicar, en el punto y conoce su música. 5 ESTRELLAS y 2 PULGARES ARRIBA... DJ Not A Panda será mi DJ/MC para los próximos eventos... No te decepcionará
