I have spent hours and hours practicing my instruments and I have spent thousands of dollars on my education. I could come up with 20 Reasons. But I’ll start with 5.
1. Classier: The right performer adds a certain amount of class to any event. A pianist playing a Grand Piano in a tuxedo of any event adds romance and dignity. A DJ behind a record player never will be able to create that effect.
When you hire a live performer or musician, you are telling your customers and companions, ” I’m a class act.”
2. Versatility: DJs are limited by their recorded product and tempos on the recordings.
Musicians will a DJ ust to their surroundings. If the dance floor is packed, a performer could keep the song going and won’t be limited to the length of the original recording.
A musician could furthermore vary his tempo to the activities in a room. When I see a romantic couple dancing to Frank Sinatra tune, I will again and again add that spark that I feel for my wife.
Granted, a DJ could have a repertoire that is only limited by the amount of compact discs they buy. But a wonderful musician knows thousands of tunes.
I know I have might forgotten more tunes than I learned over the years. You’ll love watching the performer ‘fake’ their way through a tune they have not played in years.
That kind of spontaneity is only possible when you use live music instead of a DJ. Which brings us to Reason #3.
3. People Love To See Other People Screw Up: Let us face it. Musicians are human beings. all of us make mistakes like everybody else. Why is American Idol so popular? Because all of us all want to see an individual fail. And succeed! Your companions and customers will love to try and “stump the band” when we’re playing at your Sales event or Product Rollout. (Watch their amazement when all of us succeed.) “Music is a Manifestation of Emotion. The feeling must always override the Technique” – Jan Hammer (Keyboards for Mahavishnu Orchestra and Jeff Beck)
4. Intimacy: There’s something truly intimate about seeing an individual play an instrument and create music on the spot. Music is magical. It’s al most surreal. could a DJ play with emotion? Intimacy? people love to watch my hands as I play the piano. It’s as If the music appears out of nowhere. When a musician performs for you, it feels like they’re creating just for you — right on the spot. Magical!
5. Interaction: Not only will a amazing entertainer a DJ ust his performance to a live fans. A live performer will interact with each other onstage. A DJ is only one individual. Doubtlessly a DJ could and will interact with his fans. But a wonderful musician will interact so much better. furthermore, just imagine the added dimension a live performer will bring to your next company Event. A live performer will interact with your fans AND the musicians in the band. If you have ever had the pleasure of listening to a group of musicians ‘hang out’ following the gig, you know what I’m saying is true. A DJ has only an fans for interaction.
Music is truly the universal language. It transcends any barrier — geographic, cultural or economic. Hiring the right Musical Act will elevate your ability to reach your customers and clients.
