Why Wedding DJing is More Than Just Playing Music: Expert Insights with Daniel Simpson | EP 057

Welcome to another exciting episode of the Just as Planned Weddings and Podcast TV Show! I’m your host, Nathan Cassar, and today we’ve got a special guest who’s not only been rocking the wedding music scene but has a whole career of impressive milestones under his belt. Please welcome the one and only Daniel Simpson, also known as DJ Sexy Simo!

Daniel has over 25 years of experience as a music producer and DJ, and he’s made a name for himself in both the club and private event scene. From spinning beats at massive events like the Defqon.1 Music Festival to curating personalized mixes and producing tracks, Daniel brings a whole lot of energy to every event he touches. He’s even had a remix played by a YouTube streamer, racking up nearly 100k views worldwide!

In today’s episode, we’ll dive deep into Daniel’s evolution from high school “sexy” moves to becoming a go-to DJ for private events and weddings. He’ll share the magic behind his live mixing skills, what makes him stand out from the sea of DJs, and how his music production background impacts his events. Plus, we’ll talk about his passion for interacting with guests and why the ‘craft’ of DJing is more important than ever in today’s oversaturated scene.

If you’re planning an event and need some serious music inspiration, you won’t want to miss this. 

Daniel, welcome to the show!

 

About Daniel Simpson:

Sexy Simo (Sim-Oh) was a nickname I had in High School, as my surname is Simpson. I don’t
know why I was called “Sexy”, but my wife thinks it’s because I have sexy dance moves! It caught
on ever since!
 
I have over 25 years of experience as a Music Producer & DJ’ing. I have been running my
small business since 2010. I cater to all events, including weddings, birthdays, etc. I play any
genre of music, and have also made mixes for clients with a wide variety of genres. When it
comes to my personal music production, I mainly focus on Dance music, mainly Trance and Hardstyle. I have also made a soundtrack for an independent movie.
 
I used to do a lot of club events pre-COVID, however, my main focus at the moment is on private events & functions. I love to get involved in any event I do, and you’ll often see me on
the dancefloor in the short breaks I get.
 
As well as D’ing, my services include making mixes for clients, and in some circumstances,
producing music tracks from scratch.
