I want you to Be Yourself.
Hi, my name's Adam, aka DJ Funky Turtle.
​​
I want clients and guests to feel comfortable at events. Part of that means being person-centered. I stay attuned and adaptive to the people around me at each unique event.
​​
People who find me want serious professionalism in the moments that matter - walking down the aisle, officiating a ceremony, or hosting a formal fundraiser. But they also want someone to read the room, interact with those present and create an atmosphere of fun that will be remembered for years to come.
​
And so, even after hundreds of weddings, school dances, and parties (ranging from quinceañeras to 90th birthday celebrations) I'll be excited to meet you, help you plan, and bring your event to life, the Funky Turtle Way.
Now, let's get this party started!

The Story of Funky Turtle DJ
Before Spotify, Tidal, and Apple Music gave everyone access to most songs, I had acquired (and individually rated) over 100,000 songs. I spent literal years listening to music. Absolutely ridiculous (I had no kids back then)! My friends started asking for song recommendations and later to emcee weddings and events.
​​​​
So, I invested in high-end speakers, mics, and a laptop (I still exclusively use reliable brands like EV, Bose, Shure, Apple etc). However, I still needed a business name. Around this time, my partner and I adopted a box turtle named Mr. T, who often got stuck on his back - unintentionally reminding us of a breakdancer. Thus, Funky Turtle DJ Service was born.
In 2016, we moved to the Twin Cities, (this photo was taken around that time). Since then, I've loved meeting amazing people, hosting memorable events, and look forward to doing the same for years to come! Thanks for stopping by.
​
Appreciatively,
Adam

Adam was fabulous. Our wedding guests of all ages loved him. He got everyone involved and everyone commented on how fabulous and fun the reception was because of the DJ. I highly recommend him and would hire him again for future events in a heartbeat.

Adam was great! He worked with me and was so much fun for our guests. He really made it special and kept the party thriving. There was never a time our dance floor was empty and I was always wanting to get back out there with all the good music he played!
