My clients trust me!
And you should, too! Motor City HDJ is once again award-winning for 2025. And I have the best clients! I commit to always give every couple the same level of trust, respect, value, and excellence.
MY NAME IS BRETT CUMMINS.
I want to be your DJ.
I consider myself the “anti-DJ.” Simply put, I don’t do the things that “bad DJs” do. Think about the worst event you’ve been to and all the things that made it bad. Do the oppposite of those things and you get me! It’s just common sense.Your day is all about you, not me. I believe a great DJ is present and transparent all at the same time. There’s no need for cheesy sequins or inflatable props. I’m about excellence.
I WANT TO HELP YOU.
Let’s make history.
I want to help you tell your story in a fun and engaging way. I do it all for my beautiful wife and our two perfect daughters. I’ve always had a passion for music and the joy it brings. I mean, I get to be a joy dealer! How cool is that?! So, if you’re looking to hire a professional that does what he loves with excellence, let’s talk. If the first question from you is about price or what I can offer, I’m not your guy.

The ingredients for a party.
Every Motor City HDJ event is different. I offer dynamic pricing to meet your budget and tailor the experience to what you need. Not seeing something? Don’t worry: I probably offer it.
Digital sound system
Every event features the 2,600-watt Mackie Thump speaker system: the industry standard in live sound. Elevator music or cranked to 11, it’s up to you. Sound is what I do. I’ve invested in the very best to make sure your guests hear the very best. I’ve got all the audio accessories you need for a successful event.
Dance floor lighting
Your dance floor will light up with my 10-foot lighting truss. I use intelligent LED lighting powered by Chauvet to headline as the literal star of your show. The truss features 8 moving-head fixtures to bring your dance floor to life. The lighting adapts to the moment: a slow wash during dinner or all-in-rock-concert during dancing. Game changer!
Up lighting
Your event space will be completely transformed with LED up lighting. Every Motor City HDJ event includes 18 up lighting fixutres placed strategically around your event space. You choose the color or the combination. There are millions to choose from! Up lighting is that little extra that can take your completely elevate your event space.
Online planning center
Plan your event on your own time from anywhere. The planning center makes the process simple. Everything is in the cloud, so you’ll have access to the planning center from any device. You’ll even get reminders throughout the process to keep you on track and not feel overwhelmed. After all, this is supposed to be fun!
Custom monograms
If you’ve ever truly wanted to see your name in lights, I do that too! With a catalog of hundreds of designs, you can order a custom-designed die-cut gobo monogram from my friends at Rosco. It’s even yours to keep when we’re done! The monogram can be placed anywhere in you room you’d like and will definitely add an extra layer of elegance.
Mobile guest requests
The Motor City HDJ mobile guest request system is another way I’m changing the game. People are constantly on their phones, so why not keep them engaged at your event? Guests will be able to request music right from their devices simply by visiting this website. And you always have complete control of the music I play.
Motor City HDJ supports student athletes.
Since 2024, I’ve worked with FlexWork Sports Management to DJ youth sports camps throughout Michigan.
Thousands of student athletes and their parents/guardians have learned the fundamentals of sports from professional athletes.
I encourage everyone with children excited about sports to get them connected with my friends at FlexWork Sports!

Alzheimer’s affects everyone. By creating a walk team, you’re raising awareness to help find a world without Alzheimer’s.
WALK TO END ALZHEIMER’S
There are many different walk sites! Livingston County, Washtenaw County, and Lansing are just a few of the walks I have taken part in.
