About The Real DJ KY

I provide reliable, high‑quality DJ services with a personal touch. With 8 years in business as a solo DJ, you’ll work directly with me from planning through the last song of the night. I stay current with new music and comfortably mix multiple genres to match your crowd, your vision, and your event’s energy. I’m intentional about understanding your preferences, reading the room, and creating a smooth, enjoyable experience for you and your guests. I genuinely love what I do, and it shows in the details. If you’re looking for a professional DJ who listens, adapts, and delivers, I’d be glad to talk about your event.

We contracted The Real for a school event last year and we had to cancel it. So agreed to do our 2026 homecoming dance. He was exactly on time and ready to spin when the dance started. We asked him to play a mix of music which he did and much of the kids attending were out on the dance floor! So great job! Would def use him again.

Ky was very responsive, punctual, and created a great atmosphere with his song selection. I look forward to working with him in the future!

We hired DJ Mike for my mom’s 80th birthday party, and he was fantastic! He kept the music flowing perfectly, read the crowd, and had everyone dancing all night. He was professional, easy to work with, and helped make the celebration so memorable. I highly recommend him for any event!

So professional and responsive. What an amazing experience, top to bottom. He played all the right songs at the right time and kept the energy going. Will definitely use him again and would highly recommend.

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ! He was professional, organized, and kept everything running smoothly from start to finish. The music was perfect, and he did an excellent job keeping our guests engaged and the dance floor full. We highly recommend DJ KY!

If you are debating about which DJ to hire, CHOOSE DJ KY!!! He did an outstanding job with our school dance tonight. The kids never left the dance floor and the parents couldn’t stop commenting on what a great DJ we found on such short notice. His prices are great, his music is on point, his attitude is fantastic, and he’s great at what he does! We will definitely hire him again. Trust me, you’ll be happy with this DJ!

He was amazing!! Engaging and fun! We had him for a middle school dance and he may have been the best yet!

It was so great working with DJ Ky for our wedding! We sent a few playlists to get the vibe we were going for and on the day of he really came through! He was early, with microphone and speaker, and hit all our cues from ceremony to reception. The vibes were great we even had to tell him it was okay to go home at the end of the day or he would’ve continued playing lol. Please don’t hesitate to book DJ Ky for your event, the vibes will be right!!
