Kelsey Chinskey, my intern for this summer and fall, interviewed Scott and we wanted to share this with all of you!
What inspired/led you to your profession?
I have always had an interest in entertainment; believe it or not, I started out working as a magician! I quickly realized that that was not the route I wanted to take, but I knew I wanted to continue to entertain others. I have always had an interest in music, so thought perhaps I should pursue that instead!
How long have you been working in this field?
My interest in music really started in college.
Did you always know you wanted to be in this profession? Or did it just happen?
I did know I always wanted to entertain and this interest was the driving force behind most career decisions I made.
Was anyone from your family involved in a similar field?
No, just me!
What are the best aspects of your job?
I really think that the best aspect is definitely getting to meet and communicate with so many different people. I think there are four big days in a person's life -- graduation, getting married, buying a house and having a baby. The face that I get to be a part of a day so important to these people is really what makes the job worth it.
What is your most memorable past event? What it good or bad?
I can't think of a specific event that has stuck; however, there have been a few events where fights have broken out (and, let's be honest, that is never good!). For the most part, however, everyone is genuinely happy!
What characteristics of a person best fit with your profession?
An individual, in this profession must, most definitely, be a "people person" and out-going. You must genuinely like people, just to be around them and want to please them.
What is your favorite vacation spot?
Favorite vacation spot has to be DISNEY!! I am a self-proclaimed huge Disney geek . If I could, I would work there, but for now being a DJ is what I love. Perhaps, when I retire, I will move down to sunny Florida, but for now, it's just a happy place we go to to relax and have fun!
Thank you, Scott, for sharing your DJ abilities and other services with us!
Great Scott Productions also offers event lighting and a photo booth!
