Kid Stuff

Okay, so let me be the first to let you know...I'm just a clown who really, really likes music. No, seriously...I can juggle...and make little poodles out of those long balloons. AND I'm not afraid of making a you-know-what out of myself in front of people, but only if it'll make them smile...

As a kid I was obsessed with music, dying to work hard and always aching to learn more. My parents gave me a little brown tape player when I was four (thank god for headphones), and I've been piping music into my ears non-stop ever since. I listen to music while I drive my car. I listen to music when I go to bed and then my alarm clock wakes me up with the radio. In fact, I'm listening to music as I write this right now.

When I was eight or nine, my sister Kati and I created our own little radio show. With a couple of cheap microphones, my father's ancient tape deck and a ton of curiosity, we told our imaginary listeners what time it was, about the traffic jams on streets with made up names and then we played some music.

I started writing music in fifth grade.  I played my keyboards a lot growing up and now own a grand piano. I played the drums for about 6 years somewhere in my adolescence and actually became a little successful doing it. There's a memory of playing my drums in a concert in middle school that rattles through my mind a lot. For the first time in my life people were yelling my name and the whole room stood up as I played a solo mid-song for the jazz band. I was in love. I'm not sure why I decided to sell my drum set, but I do know that my parents were very happy when I did!

High school (Northampton High School)  and college (Holyoke Community, Hospitality Management) years were  packed with studying popular music, DJing, participating in drama club activities, traveling, working on musicals, singing in shows, rubbing elbows with artists - both famous and local, going to concerts, and recording...No matter where I  was...there was music.

Learn from our mistakes

In 1999 I decided that I wanted to be a DJ and sort of ignorantly started my own mobile disc jockey service. Pillar See's Mobile DJ'n Co. emerged and slowly built itself into a conglomerate of passionate DJs, as well as event planning services and party supply sales. I learned SO much and met a TON of wonderful people who I will forever owe, but as time went on, I was pulled farther and farther away from DJing and closer to selling things and worrying about other DJs. After five years of running the exciting business, it was an easy decision to close up shop. I wanted to do my own thing and start concentrating on how I could become a better DJ.

DON'T FEEL BAD: NOBODY...and I mean NOBODY could pronounce Pillar See's Mobile DJ'n Co. Great name for a business, huh?!

The dawn of a new era

SO in the middle of 2004, I decided to start fading out Pillar See's Mobile DJ'n Co. and start to worry about my own career. It was time to simplify things and start working towards perfection in what I do. I enrolled my self in the Connecticut Schools Of Broadcasting's TV/radio program, which has since turned me into one lean and mean DJing machine and I was an instructor for Valley Free Radio - 103.3 WXOJ-LP, Northampton for about 2 years.

I am always open to learning more - I think that part of the reason I've found so much success as a mobile DJ is that I enjoy studying how events work... top to bottom. I see every event as a million chances to learn something new. I also go out of my way to attend industry expos, remain well-read and constantly stay on great terms with some of my biggest competitors. 

Non-music stuff

As for non-music related information about me...well...I seem to have a million hobbies. I love cherries and cooking desserts.... I'm a certified cake decorator ... I spent an awful lot of time landscaping when I was a teenager ... and I love driving tractors around at the farm that is behind my house. I weld trash metal together to make cute statues and random art... I collect unique cars... I also own part of a Personal Assistant and handyman service called Whatever You Need! LLC. If it's nice out and I can find some grass more than 3" long, I'm on my lawn mower. (Okay...so I'm on it when there isn't any grass to cut, too, but hey, if your mower could do wheelies and doughnuts, wouldn't you want to ride it?!) I watch a lot of movies and absolutely love traveling. I'm the youngest of eight, like cats more than dogs and am extremely afraid of ceiling fans. I believe in the things that I can hold in my hand and I don't remember ever being as ridiculously head over heals in love as I am right now. Oh yeah, and my personal quote, which I say often, is: "I know what I know...and I know what I don't know..." If you think that I'm saying that I know everything, you better think about it some more.
