It's TIME to DANCE

Steve Moody has been entertaining in Maryland since 1989. His talents have been heard on Baltimore's Country Station 93.1 WPOC and Easton's 96.7 WCEI. Though WPOC listeners heard Steve many times during the week, he was most recognized for "Sunday Night Confessions with Steve Moody", a laugh-fest where listeners called to confess naughty things they had done that week. WCEI listeners heard Steve in much larger doses every weekday morning. A couple of Steve's more memorable radio interviews were with country music star Wynonna Judd and Pro Wrestling's 15-Time World Champion Ric Flair, both pictured.

Besides these higher profile positions, Steve has also performed with the golden oldies band "45 RPM", singing lead vocals and playing guitar. Fans of local theatre my recognize him from performances in area dinner, college, community, and summer-stock theatrical productions.

DJ of the Year Finalist 2007Above all of his accomplishments, Steve is most proud of his successful disc jockey service, established in 1989. Through a lot of hard work, Steve's one-man show has built a solid reputation for service and professionalism with both clientele and industry peers.

Though natural talent and a desire to entertain play large parts in his success, Steve credits his education in the performing arts with giving him that little extra "something". After a college career that included courses in music, public speaking and relations, and theatre, as well as activities with the music and theatre departments, Steve graduated in 1996 from Towson State University with a bachelors degree in mass communications.

Steve's disc jockey service keeps him busy, as he teaches line dancing three evenings each week, and provides music and entertainment for private events each weekend.

Steve Moody Brings Disc Jockey Industry's Top Prize Home To Maryland

 

To professional athletes it's called the "Superbowl", for beauty queens it may be the "The Miss America Pageant"... and in the world of Professional Mobile Disc Jockeys across America it's the Annual "DJ Of The Year Competition" held in Atlantic City, NJ. The competition is the one major event within the industry that everyone is watching. This year, as the dust settled, Caroline County resident Steve Moody walked away with the most coveted prize in his profession. Therefore, for the very first time since it's inception, the DJ Of The Year award has been brought to the state of Maryland!

 

The competition, which took place at The Trump Taj Mahal Hotel and Casino, has become a staple of the Annual International DJ Expo. This yearly convention for professional disc jockeys, hosted by leading industry magazine "DJ TIMES", brings together thousands of entertainers from across the country. Similar to a family reunion, it's a virtual "who's who" of the disc jockey profession. As a result, the annual get- together attracts everyone from old pros and dj hall of famers... to young entertainers just getting started in the business. Seminars feature information on sales and marketing, performance technique, the latest gear and most importantly a chance to make new business contacts. At the same time, the convention showroom is open with all of the latest in lighting, sound equipment and other gadgets entertainers can't wait to get their hands on.

 

After three days of seminars, workshops, and networking (August 10 - 14), Moody took to the stage on the final night of the convention for the highly anticipated competition, which featured the absolute "best of the best" from across the country. With an excited audience of their peers and judges, the 12 contestant's routines ran the gambit from sharing new party games, to the latest dances.

 

At the conclusion of the final entertainer's performance, the judge's scores were tallied and accolades were awarded in 5 different categories. Participants were judged in several areas including their opening speech, level of professionalism, audience reaction and interaction, appearance, microphone technique, and the substance of their actual routine. To his excitement, Moody was awarded two honors, "Best New Game of 2009"...and the award he has worked for 20 years to achieve "2009 DJ Of The Year".

 

Master of Ceremonies for the competition and owner of the New Jersey based "Elite Entertainment", Mike Walter had this to say about Moody's achievement: "Steve's performance at the DJ of the Year Competition this year was dynamic and organized. It's not easy to win with a game as opposed to a dance but Steve proved it is possible if you have the right MC skills and if you know how to set-up and execute a smooth routine. Steve did all that in front of his peers and a panel of judges (no easy task) and in doing so, brought home the coveted DJ Times DJ Of the Year Award. Congratulations Steve!"
