Joseph Chavez was hired to DJ a 20-Year Class Reunion on 08/23/25 at the Santa Ana Star Hotel &…read moreCasino. The morning of the event I received a text from Joseph stating: "I was shot last night and am in the hospital. I won't make it tonight." He further explained in a text that he was "shot in the gut and a victim of road rage." Unfortunately, with the amount of violence taking place in Albuquerque, a road rage incident involving gun fire would most certainly have been broadcast on KOB-4, KOAT-7, KRQE and all over social media outlets... which it was not. Quite the elaborate excuse to get out of a commitment agreed to several months ago. I found it strange that Joseph was not replying to my texts earlier in the week nor did he return my phone call on Friday evening around 6:00 pm. I was able to find a DJ Service who understood the dilemma we were in, and wholeheartedly assured me that the event would go on without a hitch. The reunion was a success!! Joseph Chavez is unprofessional and I truly believe he wanted to get out of his commitment by hiding behind his phone in hopes of not having to personally speak with me. I understand emergencies may arise, but his bogus "I got shot" further justified his lack of decorum, childish excuse and total lack of professionalism. DJ'ing may only be a side gig for Joseph, but to the Reunion Committee this was a time-consuming endeavor that required the cooperation & professionalism of all parties involved to make the event happen. I will never recommend Joseph Chavez nor his Dance Studio.

Not only is she a pleasure to be with (fun and encouraging, no FEEL THE BURN, WEAKLING!! attitude here) but she is amazingly knowledgeable, talented, and intuitive.
