My clients trust me!
You should, too! Motor City HDJ is once again award-winning for 2026. It’s all because I have the best clients! I commit to always give every couple the same level of trust, respect, value, and excellence.
Because of that, Motor City HDJ is the newest member of The Knot Hall of Fame!
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.

Motor City HDJ supports student athletes.

I have made it my life’s work to help my friends of the Alzheimer’s Association find an end to this awful condition and disease. For almost a decade, I partnered with this amazing group at dozens of events across Michigan all to bring awareness to Alzheimer’s research.

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.
