I have spent hours and hours practicing my instruments and I have spent thousands of dollars on my education. I might come up with 20 Reasons. But I’llstart 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 party adds romance and dignity. A deejay behind a record player never will be able to create that effect.

When you hire a live band or musician, you’re telling your customers and friends, ” I’m a class act.”

2. Versatility: DJs are limited by their recorded product and tempos on the recordings.

Musicians will a disc jockey ust to their surroundings. Assuming that the dance floor is packed, a performer can keep the song going and will not be limited to the length of the original recording.

A musician might likewise differ his tempo to the activities in a room. When I see a romantic couple dancing to Frank Sinatra tune, I’ll usually add that spark that I feel for my wife.

Granted, a deejay can have a repertoire that’s only limited by the amount of CDs they buy. But a nice artist knows thousands of tunes.

I know I’ve probably forgotten more tunes than I learned over the years. You will love watching the performer ‘fake’ their way through a tune they haven’t 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’s face it. Musicians are human beings. we make mistakes prefer everybody else. Why’s American Idol so popular? Because we all want to see a person fail. And succeed! Your companions and customers will love to try and “stump the band” when we are playing at your Sales gathering or Product Rollout. (Watch their amazement when we 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 is something  surprisingly intimate about seeing someone play an instrument and create music on the spot. Music is magical. It is al most surreal. can a DJ play with emotion? Intimacy? people love to watch my hands as I play the piano. It is as Assuming that 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 listeners. A live performer will interact with each other onstage. A DJ is only one person. Inevitably a DJ might and will interact with his listeners. But a nice artist will interact so much better. additionally, just imagine the added dimension a live performer will bring to your next business Event. A live performer will interact with your listeners AND the artists in the band. If you have ever had the pleasure of listening to a group of artists ‘hang out’ following the gig, you know what I am saying is true. A DJ has only an listeners for interaction.

Music is truly the universal language. It transcends any barrier — geographic, cultural or economic. Hiring the right Musical Act will improve your ability to reach your customers and clients.
