Hiring a wedding DJ can be confusing. Disc Jockey's must hold certain licenses in order to legally play copied or downloaded music at an event. I've been fortunate enough to have Mike Coombs, founder of Prodigy Entertainment in Toronto, to turn to when certain questions about the laws and liabilities associated with playing music at events have come up with my own weddings.
That's why I was so happy to hear that on January 5th of this year Mike was named President of the Canadian Professional DJ Association (CPDJA). The CPDJA is Canada's largest Professional Disc Jockey Association and they are very fortunate to have Mike at the wheel to lead them through 2009.
Michael was the first DJ in Canada to be certified through the Wedding Planners Institute of Canada and has long been regarded as one of the industry's top Professional Disc Jockeys. You can read his entire biography here and check out his blog here.
You can find more information on the licensing required by DJs and event venues on the CPDJA website.
Congratulations Mike!
