DJ lessons

I was looking to educate myself on the art of DJing. I was fortunate enough to find DJ Greg Nice! He is a great instructor, very talented, nice, funny, and patient. I would definitely recommend him to teach anyone! He is also a very skilled and knowledgeable DJ. Thank you so much, I had a great time learning the trade!

Teaching kids & adults

DJ Greg Nice was so amazing for my son’s 7th birthday party. DJ Nice is so talented and he was so great teaching the kids how to Deejay. He even taught the adults and we had a blast! My husband and I loved learning how to spin and all the kids learned something and had fun. My son loved his birthday party and is inspired by DJ Nice. I appreciate the time, patience, and energy he gave to all the guests!

Energy & professionalism

If we were able to give DJ Greg a 6++ rating we would. He was so good at getting the party started. He was very easy to work with, patient, he played every song we requested. His energy was so much fun and he really relays that he loves what he does. Hire DJ Greg — you won’t be sorry; he literally doesn’t skip a beat!
