Spectacular

This guy came through on EVERY hiccup at the wedding, he did pics for us, he balanced all the music i asked for with music that would get people dancing. When we needed guidance he offered sorely needed expertise. I can't recommend him enough. His service was phenomenal, we were heard clearly at the ceremony, he took more pics. Grabbed the walker for her dad. He was absolutely amazing to have around. He made our night wonderful. Thank you, Joel!!

Speechless

Honestly I don’t even know where to begin. First the website platform that I needed to use to load the song list and like the father daughter dance song - I found to be too difficult for my ADHD brain to handle. Another little blip - I made my list on YouTube music and not on Spotify, the website is connected to Spotify. So, Joel said no worries just Share your playlist with me and send me a list of which song is which. This guy went and took the time, ON HIS OWN ASS TIME, to fill in the blanks on the website to make sure that everything would run seamlessly and ultra smoothly on the big day. Well, the big day has now come and gone and let me tell y’all just how utterly freaking amazingly seamlessly, smoothly, and just down right farging flawlessly things ran. No, no, no correction things did not run, they freaking glided together. On top of all that this man was out on the dance floor doing up some videography and was even doing it during our ceremony, not to mention was working along side our friend that we had hired on as our photographer. It was crazy to see this man freaking work. And all night my friends kept complimenting him on how good he was at his song transitions. On top of all of that - Joel was just a pleasure working, he was super nice, fun, had some great ideas for photos and at the end of the night, he told my husband that he was going to send us all the videos and pictures that he had been taking throughout the ENTIRETY of the event ALL for the VERY LOW LOW price of FREE!!! I cried when my husband told me this because throughout the entire event that you’ve just spent THOUSANDS of dollars on - the next day you feel like you’ve just been spit out of a tornado and you’ll try to look back to see who took videos of what - only to realize that everyone was just so wound up in the excitement, the emotions, and the feeling of being all wound up like an old school McDonalds happy meal toy, you and everyone else was too busy living in that moment to sit and record what was going on and stop to take the posed pictures.

At the end of the day. The choice is easy and I speak from experience when I say - just book with them. Book with Birdsong Entertainment and Dj Joel when you got events. He knows how to make them moments memorable. Thanks Joel for helping to make May 30th, 2026 the most memorable and breathtakingly beautiful days for both Craig Morrison and I Chantel Armstrong. You’re bloody amazing!!!!

Oh, will add pics and videos as they come in of course!!!

Owner / Founder / DJ

Hi there!

I'm Joel, the owner, founder and main DJ of Birdsong Entertainment since day 1 in 2013.

My musical journey started at the age of 5 with classical piano lessons which evolved into EDM music production and then DJing in junior high school. Although I play current and classic recognizable hit music of all genres and eras that I've curated over the last two decades that keep the dance floor moving, my roots in EDM really shine for crowds that want to hear these styles, especially later on in the evening.

For the last 12 years, I've worked full time as a DJ in various nightclubs during weeknights in the Ottawa-Gatineau region and of course ran my mobile DJ events mostly on the weekends. Prior to this, I worked for several well known mobile DJ businesses in the city, so I have about 20 years of experience in the industry. Once I gained enough confidence on the microphone from MCing in nightclubs, I decided to launch Birdsong Entertainment and go off on my own, as I've always been an entrepreneur, and have been told that I excel in customer service.

When I'm not booked to DJ somewhere, you can usually find me livestreaming video games/DJ sets on various platforms, doing my neverending music homework, VJing and creating sound reactive visualizations, playing soccer or ultimate frisbee, cooking, gardening, repairing/building electronic devices, or doing photo/videography.

Since the music I play is almost always copyrighted, I can't host any of my DJ sets anywhere, but I'm allowed to perform live online, so I could even drop a short DJ set on one of my live streams to show you what I've got - just send me a note!

Thanks for stopping by!
