DJ 5 Starr is an absolute dream of a DJ to work with and or hire. I met him while bartending 15 years ago and right away I knew he would be a SUCCESS! He is very caring, professional, accommodating, and has an AMAZING ear for the G.OA.T.S! Moreover, he does research on his events and knows/understands his audience before he plays a record! I immediately knew I wanted to book him after he played Little Brother, Big L, and Dead Prez one night right before the last call. He is extremely professional, responsive, eclectic, innovative, and patient and will craft the perfect playlist and flow of events for your special day. Not to mention, his Math Through Music after-school program for children to learn through the frequency of Life--MUSIC! He also has assisted/influenced many awesome DJs in the DMV, and other regions as well I'm sure, allowing them to share his platform! Just BOOK the brother and watch how he keeps the dance floor busy as everyone enjoys his creative work. He truly will make your night unforgettable! TRUST AND BELIEVE you're going to have the best night of your life! read more

An Intentional Master of Ceremony -- Not Just a DJ For our Night of Hope, we didn't just have a DJ -- we had an intentional Master of Ceremony who understood the moment, the mission, and the meaning behind the event. From the very beginning, he set the tone with purpose, seamlessly guiding the energy of the room while keeping the flow intentional and engaging. He didn't just play music; he created an experience. Every transition felt thoughtful, every moment honored the spirit of the evening, and every beat carried the message of hope, healing, and community. His presence elevated the entire event. He knew when to energize the crowd, when to slow it down, and when to let the moment breathe. That level of awareness and professionalism is rare. If you're looking for someone who can do more than entertain -- someone who can lead, connect, and hold space -- this is your guy. We are beyond grateful and would absolutely work with him again. Learning How! read more

DJ 5 Starr is by far ONE OF THE BEST DJ'S in the world. His ability to engage the crowd with all genres of music shows that he has mastered the skills required to be a DJ. Being in the service industry, it is extremely important to make sure clients are satisfied. DJ 5 Starr during our event made sure that all of our guest were satisfied with the musical selections. The music was so amazing, another business owner (not tied to our event) came over, advised that the music was awesome and even asked for a business card. In closing, I would highly recommend DJ 5 Starr and his team for ALL EVENTS. R. Haynes DMV area read more

I've worked with DJ 5 Starr for over 10 years now. He's a great DJ who makes sure he has the music you want to hear. There has never been a song requested that he did not have available. He's done my birthday parties, a surprise 60th birthday party for my dad, as well as parties in general. I highly recommend him if you'd like a DJ that can cater to all crowds. I've never had an event with him where people didn't stay on the dance floor ALL Night. Next up...he's the DJ for my family reunion and i can't wait! read more

We loved having Kendrick as our DJ (July 2017 wedding). He was very professional, yet had a lot of fun with us and our guests. My husband has known Kendrick since single digit years, and I was just amazed at his talent! He was able to fade music in and out, and do little 'teasers' of the upcoming song in the middle of the current song (obviously I'm not a DJ!). Our guests raved about how he kept everyone entertained. I would hire him again for any event! read more

His team engaged the children, learned the music that inspired and motivated them, and provided an excellent experience read more
