Steve G
Full Biography
Like many people, JB has always been fascinated by music. When he picked up the guitar at 14, he became instantly obsessed. The next obvious step was to form a band. As a teenager, he played in indie and function bands, gaining a comprehensive education in all things audio and events.
JB quickly learned that there's more to music and events than meets the eye, and it's essential to always have backups for everything, from planning to equipment.
He also learned how to read a crowd and feel the mood. Since then, JB has completed a degree in music production and toured with the Pigeon Detectives and the Struts, playing original music.
So, why become a DJ now? The role of a DJ has always fascinated JB because it's very different from being a live musician. As a DJ, you facilitate the party rather than being the person in the spotlight. While JB still enjoys performing, his primary goal as a DJ is to cater to your event and fill the dance floor. This journey began three years ago when a live saxophonist friend needed a DJ and offered to teach him. This led to an amazing crash course in creating magic behind the decks, and soon they were gigging all over the country.
JB's experience and intuition flourished, drawing from his previous knowledge of music genres like Disco, Northern Soul, Motown, Rock, and Indie, combined with his new education in Dance, House, EDM, RnB, and Pop. He enjoys blending different genres to build a mood that caters to all age groups, which is particularly important at weddings. JB loves the challenge because one wrong song can kill a dance floor, so you must be on your toes and trust your instincts. People trust you with potentially the most significant day of their lives, and it's the greatest feeling when they tell you that you made their perfect day.

Steve G booked JB DJ for their event in Greater Manchester • August 2024
“I booked James for my twin boys' 18th birthday party and he was absolutely superb. I work in the wedding industry myself so I understand how important a good DJ is to any party, James is one of the best around and I'll happily recommend him to anyone whether it's for a party or a wedding. He's also a really lovely guy - get in touch with James and book him if he's available for your event, he's one of the best out there.”
I didn’t leave the dance floor once. 10/10.
Whitney W booked JB DJ for their event • May 2024
“I booked James for my 30th birthday party. He went into detail with me about exactly what I was looking for and how my day would unfold. James knew exactly how to make the crowd happy. He played a really good mixture of music that suited everyone’s taste. He was fantastic. He had everyone on the dance floor and I didn’t leave the dance floor once. 10/10.”
Thank you so much James for making my day amazing.
Victorias N booked JB DJ for their Wedding • March 2024
“I asked James if he could entertain my guests at my 50th birthday party as I had been told he was amazing at what he does… we talked for a few weeks before about what I wanted and I was not disappointed, he had people on the floor dancing from the moment the party started to the end of the night. My guests laughed the whole day and said what an amazing day it was and I was able to enjoy my day without having to check everyone was ok because he did that for me. Thank you so much James for making my day amazing. Vicky Xx”
James did everything he could to make our wedding day special.
Elizabeth W booked JB DJ for their Wedding • February 2024
“My wife and I had James DJ at our wedding... not only did he listen to all of my very specific song requests but he made sure they were on the playlist too! James did everything he could to make our wedding day special with every song he played. Music is a really big deal for my wife and I and our relationship, so having someone who really understood that was amazing. James got everyone dancing and the dance floor was full of laughter and smiles all night. He was so professional and just seemed to fit in with the crowd perfectly. Thank you James for being such a special part of our day. All of the guests loved him and so did we. We will forever appreciate you! See you at our wedding renewal in 2032!”
I would gladly recommend him to anyone else.
Katherine R booked JB DJ for their Wedding • June 2023
“We chose James to play our wedding in April 2022. I had a special request for James to play me down the aisle with a particular song on the guitar, which he learned and executed perfectly! He then set up his decks and played our reception, where all our requests for style and genre were met happily. James was professional, pleasant and very capable at all times, with all my questions answered and it was a pleasure to have him as part of our big day. One of our friends from the wedding actually hired him to play her birthday shortly after, and I would gladly recommend him to anyone else. Thanks James!”
