    I am incredibly humbled and honoured to announce that I have been nominated for induction into the MEX Hall of Fame at the Mobile Entertainment Expo (MEX) in the USA. As someone based in Australia, this recognition is truly special and a testament to the impact and contributions made within the DJ and MC industry both locally and internationally.

    This nomination acknowledges my dedication to the Australian DJ and MC community, my involvement with the International DJ Alliance (which connects professionals across Australia, the United Kingdom, and Canada), and my role as an advisor to the Board of the International Disc Jockey News Academy. These collaborations have allowed me to contribute to the ongoing growth, education, and professional development of DJs and MCs worldwide.

    To be recognised on a global stage is both humbling and inspiring. It reinforces my belief in the power of community, knowledge-sharing, and the continuous pursuit of excellence in our craft. I extend my deepest gratitude to my peers, mentors, and industry colleagues who have supported me throughout this journey.

    Regardless of the final outcome, this nomination is already a tremendous honour, and I look forward to celebrating the achievements of all those who contribute to making our industry better every day.

    Thank you for being part of this incredible journey!

    A Heartfelt Reflection on Being the Inaugural Inductee into the DJAA Hall of Fame

    In August 2023, I had the distinct honour of being the inaugural inductee into the DJ Alliance Australasia Inc. (DJAA) Hall of Fame. This recognition is awarded to individuals who have made a significant contribution to the Entertainment Industry, and to be chosen as the first recipient is both humbling and deeply meaningful.

    DJ Alliance Australasia Inc Hall Of Fame Induction

    The DJAA is a not-for-profit national association dedicated to promoting professionalism within the DJ & MC industry through information, education, networking, and support. Throughout my career, I have strived to contribute to this very mission, believing that our industry thrives when we lift each other up and share knowledge that enhances our craft.

    My journey in this industry has always been driven by a passion for creating unforgettable moments for couples and their guests. Every event I’ve been a part of has been an opportunity to craft experiences that linger in the hearts of those present. This recognition, though, has never been my goal. My contributions have never been about me – they have always been about the joy of others, the love celebrated at each wedding, and the memories made on every dance floor.

    When I received the news of my induction, I was overwhelmed with gratitude. However, I chose to keep this recognition close to my heart for some time. The decision to not immediately share this news was born from a sense of humility and the belief that the essence of my work lies in the joy it brings to others, not in accolades.

    Now, nearly a year later, I find it fitting to express my heartfelt gratitude as four other esteemed colleagues and friends were inducted into the Hall of Fame in late July this year. Their passion, dedication, and love for what they do have inspired me throughout my career. To stand alongside them in this Hall of Fame is truly an honour, and it feels like the right moment to acknowledge the incredible journey we’ve all shared.

    In my work with DJ:Plus! Entertainment, I have always sought to align with the DJAA’s goals, helping to elevate our industry by promoting excellence in service and professionalism. Whether through mentoring, sharing insights, or supporting fellow DJs and MCs, my aim has been to contribute to a culture of continuous improvement and mutual respect within our community.

    I want to extend my deepest thanks to the DJAA, my fellow industry professionals, and all those who have supported and encouraged me over the years. This recognition serves as a reminder that while our work may often be behind the scenes, its impact is far-reaching. It reinforces my commitment to continue giving my best to this industry, to every couple, and to every celebration.

    In closing, I am deeply grateful for this honour, but even more so for the opportunities I’ve had to make a difference in the lives of others and to contribute to the professionalism and growth of our industry. Here’s to the future of the entertainment industry and to the many more moments we will create together.

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    The Recent Hiatus and What’s Next

    Hello Everybody!

    I hope this message finds you well. It’s been a bit quieter than usual here on the DJ:Plus! Entertainment Blog, and I wanted to take a moment to explain why and share some exciting news about what’s been happening behind the scenes.

    Over the past few months, I have been hard at work on something that’s been in the pipeline for quite a while now – the redevelopment of the DJ:Plus! Entertainment website. I wanted to create an online space that not only reflects the love, energy and passion I bring to every event but also offer everyone an even better experience when visiting online.

    As a result, the blog posts had to take a temporary backseat while I focused on this important project whilst simultaneously running the business and devoting time to the industry association I am a part of. I understand how much many of you value the content created, and appreciate your patience during this recent hiatus.

    But the good news is, the website has bee a complete makeover and has been live for a month or so. There a few little things which need to be addressed, but will in no way impact your experience. The new website features a sleek and modern design, improved navigation, and will soon include a wealth of new resources to help you plan your wedding and stay connected with us and I believe now, more than ever, totally reflects who I am and the service I provide.

    Over the next few weeks, I’ll be catching up on all the exciting news and topics I’ve been itching to share with you. From wedding trends and party planning tips to MC and DJ insider insights and real event stories, I’ve got a lot in store.

    I’m incredibly excited about this next chapter for DJ:Plus! Entertainment, and am very grateful for your continued support and enthusiasm. As always, your feedback and ideas are always valued, so if there are any topics or questions you’d like me to address in the upcoming blog posts, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

    Thank you for being a part of this journey, and get ready for some fantastic content coming your way soon. Stay tuned, and in the meantime, feel free to explore the new look website for valuable information about our services and past blog posts.

    Here’s to a bright future filled with love, happiness, great music, unforgettable events, and a website that will make your DJ:Plus! Entertainment experience even better.

    Warm regards,

    Serge
