8 DJ Buddy Holly Superstar Guitarist, DJ, Singer/Songwriter, and Karaoke Party Host 5 people have recommended DJ Buddy "I highly recommend DJ Buddy Holly for DJing at weddings. My niece in Palo Alto needed a DJ last minute since their original DJ didn t show up and I tried calling DJ Buddy Holly. HE SAVED THE DAY! He sounded great and was able to fulfill all my song requests. If you re in the Bay Area and need a music talent then DJ Buddy Holly is the way to go." Jesse Rogers, worked directly with DJ Buddy "David messaged me today and I am proud to write a review for him. What a DJ and what talent! We planned a wedding for my cousin in California and we didn t want your typical wedding songs. We re more into indie rock and classic rock and not looking to dance to YMCA or Celebration. David was easy to work with and let us request any songs that we wanted. We had gazillion song requests (at least it felt like it) and he played every single one of them. I HIGHLY recommend DJ Buddy Holly for wedding, parties, or whatever." Jonathan Davis, worked directly with DJ Buddy "I am happy to recommend musical services from DJ Buddy Holly. Dad just had a birthday party and Dave played guitar during dinner followed by an epic DJ set! OMG This was a destination party for a lot of guests so the family was kind of nervous. David put our minds at ease with his easy to get along attitude and great professionalism" Donald Moore, worked directly with DJ Buddy "THIS GUY CAN PLAY GUITAR! I saw DJs guitar videos and I had to show my friends. He plays a rock version of Here Comes the Bride on Youtube! SO CLASSIC, SO GOOD! If you re having a wedding, have DJ Buddy Holly bring his electric guitar. " Samuel Williams, worked directly with DJ Buddy "I took singing lessons online with DJ Buddy Holly through Skype and he is really good. I have some tunes that I like to sing and I wanted some guidance before karaoke night with my friends. David is so patient and taught me how to sing scales and do these great breathing exercises. " James Smith, worked directly with DJ Buddy Page8
