The Dapper DJs

Whether the event is a wedding, birthday, anniversary or party, Alex Sincevich is always excited and humbled when folks book The Dapper DJs.

“They trust you to orchestrate a great time,” he says. “It is a great responsibility. When (the event) is going, it is a wonderful feeling to be a part of their friends and family group for that short time.”

Sincevich was first drawn to vintage jazz and the classics thanks to his mother. “I was brought up listening to old time jazz, the big bands on old record players,” he says. His love of music continued to blossom while playing trumpet in his high school’s jazz band.

In 2011, Sincevich was working as a DJ playing modern hits when he decided to fix his mother’s record player for Christmas. After seeing her face light up, his wife suggested incorporating old record players, classic hits and vintage apparel into performances.

“What I eventually found was that it felt more authentic to me so that was a huge deal,” he says. “Feeling more like myself and not trying to be like any other DJ. ...It has been growing ever since and we’ve been making friends everywhere we go.”

Connecting with people is Sincevich’s favorite part of his job.

“Whether it is the client, the vendors or the guests that come to celebrate,” he says. “That is where I get my kicks. It gives me life.”

Each Dapper DJ client gains access to a portal where they can select the music they would like played at their event. The DJs use the choices to create a full experience that everyone can enjoy and keep the pulse of the party going.

“We play the right song at the right time to match the energy of the room,” Sincevich says. “...I recognize they are hiring us to provide great music for a good time but we are working in concert with the rest of their vendor team to orchestrate an event where the client can be fully present with their guests. They don’t have to worry about what is going on in the background. They have hired professionals to show them a great time on their behalf.”
