My husband (Estephan) and I hired Jay as our DJ and rented out his photobooth for our wedding back in October 2025. We really enjoyed working with Jay for the music timeline and the design for our photobooth photos. Jay is really easy to talk to and gets back as soon as he can. Leading up to the wedding, Jay was super responsive and would reach out to make everything was good or if we wanted to make any changes before everything's finalized. Side note, he can also text you as well for faster communication. Jay also did some MCing for us throughout the wedding, mostly during our reception; he's a great MC! He helped combine the music choices we liked with his and the entire set list came out perfect! We requested for some kpop/r&b/pop from 2000s-2010s; and we had guests telling us afterwards that they really enjoyed the music at the wedding, that's what we liked to hear! Recommend getting Jay as your DJ for any events! read more

Joseph was very responsive and kind. We wanted an 80s party for what should have been my friend's 50th birthday party. It's what she wanted. He managed to find a perfect balance between memorial and joy at celebrating her life. We danced, he had microphones for people to speak and he had a nice set up for a projector for a photo slide show. Very kind and easy to work with. read more

We had a great experience working with Jay for my son's 1st bday party! He was incredibly easy to work with from start to finish and made the whole process seamless. He did an excellent job as the emcee too. We also partnered with his photobooth company Zen Photobooth. Highly recommend and I'm looking forward to working with him for both DJ and photobooth services again. read more

Jay is literally the light of my every Sunday- he DJs at my local farmer's market in Japantown and makes the day absolutely perfect. He spins ALL THE BEST 90s-2000s hip hop with some RnB mixed in so smoothly. I literally dance and sing my way thru the market and others do too! The vibe he creates is reminiscent of a high school basement party full of tight beats and positive lyrics- his mixing is so smooth, the rhythms and rhymes slide in and out of your heart and mind and I feel such joy to start my week with. I would hire this homie for any and all occasions to bring an old school, old soul vibe to the listening ear and heart- no one will be able to not smile or stop themselves from singing along and dancing. read more

Jay Djed our daughter's first birthday party and we also rented a photobooth from him. Once I reached out to him to inqure, he quickly and thoroughly answered all of my initial questions and kept me updated leading up to the party. He arrived to the venue extra early to set up his equipment with his staff and was ready to go before the party started. He played a great mix of family friendly music for all ages. We were also able to make custom photostrips that for the party's theme and sent to him. The staff manning the photobooth was very friendly with all guests and made taking photos very easy. I would highly recommend Jay for any event and look forward to working with him again in the future. read more

Thanks Jay for being available for my mom's 74th birthday. I know we called to book you last minute and I'm so glad you're able to accommodate us for a party on a Monday night. It was so convenient to be able to reach you easily by text anytime I had a question leading up to the party and you responded so quickly. You even took extra time to show up early to the restaurant to set up everything. Everyone that attended the party including my mom were really impressed by your ability to read the room, choose the right music, and energy to get everyone excited. The restaurant owner wouldn't stop telling me how professional you were and how much he loved your music choice. Also thanks for being a natural MC and helping me coordinate the crowd, seamlessly guiding us through the timeline of events during the party. We honestly weren't sure at first if we needed a DJ but thank goodness you were available bc I don't know what I would've done if you weren't there. Thank you thank you thank you! read more

DJ Jay joined us for a day at the Cupertino cherry blossom festival. We found him very attentive in asking our preferences for music for our event and he did a great job! The comments coming from one of the booths in the food court (so they heard him for the duration of the day) was that the music was great, at the perfect volume for the event, and he really added to the vibe of the day, lifting the mood of the crowd. He was only able to come the first day of our event and people were asking where he was the second day! DJ Jay stayed longer than we were expecting - so he really over- delivered for us! Thank you SO much! read more

I could not recommend DJ Jay highly enough! His setup is excellent and playlist was top notch! For days after our celebration I had neighbors (that didn't attend the party) reach out to let me know they loved the music :p DJ Jay read the crowd well and played exactly what we wanted to hear without us even requesting! We will definitely be using him again and will also be recommending him to family and friends. You can't go wrong with DJ Jay Sumabat read more

See all

Jay did the sound, lights, and pyrotechnics for our wedding and it was amazing! He's friendly and his team was so helpful, he will walk you through everything and was really focused on delivering our dreams for the big day. He knocked it out of the park and our dance floor was jumpin till the venue shut us down at the end of the night. So many good memories! read more

DJ Jay had our party vibing the whole day! He is very professional and got music for everyone! Thank you Jay!

Jay recently DJ'd at our house this past Saturday 3/30/24 for birthdays celebrations where he set up his gear outside our backyard. Unfortunately, it rained. He was so gracious and kind to us. He pivoted from outside to inside bringing in all of his gear in our house to dance and enjoy the music! Everyone enjoyed the playlist he played for our friends and family. He did an exceptional excellent service. If I can give more than 5 stars, I would have. I highly recommend Jay for DJ services. He is truly a great guy, kind and reasonable. Thank you Jay!! read more

We had our annual fundraiser, jay did not disappoint with getting the kids pumped up and energized to run. Kids, parents, and staff enjoyed his music so much. We'll be reaching out to him again! Thank you for the amazing music. read more

Joseph (Jay) did an AMAZING job djing our wedding. I am an absolute control freak, but Jay was there every step of the way throughout wedding planning. So when the big day came, I had full trust in Jay and his team to execute my vision. Everything went on without a hitch - from the ceremony music, happy hour, special dances, and reception dance floor. (You know it's a good wedding when the dance floor is packed the entire night.) All of our guests raved about the music and how much fun they had dancing the night away. We were so impressed with Jay and his team, we hired him for one of my employers' summer picnics this year as well. A completely different feel than a wedding, Jay still managed to surpass our expectations. Everyone from our executive team to staff's kids, complimented the music and seamless audio support for our raffle/program. We cannot thank Jay enough for making our events PERFECT. If you're searching for a DJ, look no further! read more

We recently had the pleasure of having DJ Jay for our company's holiday party, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! Jay truly elevated the atmosphere, creating an unforgettable night of celebration and joy. read more

We used Jay for our school walkathon fundraiser and he was great! The music selection was perfect for the crowd that was there; everyone had a blast. He had group dances, throwbacks, kid songs, and everything in between. He knew how to get the crowd up and moving. He was also very communicative with us and made announcements throughout the event. He was super easy to talk to before the event as well and very fun to work with. We can't wait to use him again for another event at our school! Thanks DJ Jay! read more

I would want to gatekeep Jay as a DJ because he nailed it. He even went from SJ to Sac to show up for the wedding and his sound control was very on point. Wasnt too loud or too quiet but just perfect. Had some slight changes to the program but Jay's transition was smooth! Communication is key and he very much kept that up. Even with non-DJ issues Jay provided the clutch support and got us connected with a fantastic photobooth team! read more

Jay was fantastic, 5hrs of nonstop music kept us on the dancefloor. This was our 2nd party with Jay as our DJ and the party was a mixed group, ages ranging from 21-70 he played something for everyone even our elders were on the dance floor. Jay is always on time and always responds when we reach out to him which we appreciate. Thanks Jay for another fantastic night of music, we'll see you at the next party! read more

I found Jay at the Oktoberfest in San Jose and just love the way he DJ'd. I hired him for my backyard Halloween party and he did the most amazing job. He kept in communication with me we talked through songs the event and the location and he was so kind and thorough. He took requests from people and made the party super fun. I love the way he mixes his music and he played to his audience and I couldn't of asked for a more perfect evening or a DJ. Jay is the best. read more

DJ'ed for the OTG (Off The Grid) San Francisco Picnic and did an excellent job.

Joseph (Jay) and his crew did one hell of a job with my wedding reception on August 6, 2011. From the lighting, to the song selection, to the mixing, to Manny's (bilingual!) MC'ing skills, everything went perfectly. I can't say enough good things about their performance. They did a great job of playing all different kinds of music and really had a great feel for the crowd. I've gotten tons of compliments about them and, from the pictures I've seen, everyone had a great time on the dancefloor. The one piece of advice/constructive criticism I would offer is to be more clear about what is and isn't covered under the contract. During some of our planning meetings I got a little uneasy that Joseph wouldn't be fully prepared for what we wanted. But to his credit, he was always very responsive to my emails and texts and he showed he was trying hard to give us the party atmosphere we were going for. And in the end, damn! He came with it! Again, great job to the whole crew and thank you for making our reception off the chain AND off the hook! I will not hesitate to recommend Compulsive Soundz to anyone who needs a DJ. read more

Joseph from Compulsize Soundz did an aaaaaaamazing job at our wedding on Aug 28, 2010! Not only was he easy to work with but he was professional and listened to all of our suggestions. We met up with him to go thru our wedding line up and immediately saw the genuine excitement in his face while we we're bouncing music suggestions off of each other. At the wedding ceremony, he kept the dance floor packed appealing to both our old and young guests. The party was crackin! We highly recommend Joseph for any event. read more

We were initially unsure about what this DJ could do, because we have not had the chance to check him out. However, recommendations from friends turned out right on the money. The setup, the music choices, and the professionalism was top-notch, not to mention the price they asked. If we need another event that requires DJ services, we don't need to look further, as we'll use them again! This was for an 18th bday celebration. read more
