BPM
DJ Productions is a Sioux Falls based
mobile DJ company owned and operated
by me, Jacob Hill. Often people ask
me, "What does BPM stand for?"
Well, BPM is an acronym for Beats
Per Minute, a term widely used in
the music industry to illustrate the
tempo (speed) of a song. By knowing
the BPM of songs, skilled DJ's can
actually "mix" songs together
- creating a seamless flow of music.
I named my mobile DJ service BPM to
illustrate that DJ'ing is actually
a skill that is developed over years
and years of practice. Anyone can
push play on a CD player, but not
everyone can "DJ!"
When booking with BPM DJ Productions,
you can find comfort in knowing that
I will be personally DJ'ing your event.
But why should that matter? Well,
let's go back a few years, and I'll
tell you how I became a DJ.
I began this
exciting career all the way back in
1995 when I was a Freshman in High
School. I provided the music for Junior
High dances in my home town of Sweet
Springs, MO. I was immediately hooked.
I continued to develop my DJ skills
throughout High School, spending many
of my weekends DJ'ing school dances,
weddings, and college parties. Upon
graduating High School in 1998, I
continued my education at Central
Missouri State University in Warrensburg,
MO.
My first year
of college, I managed to obtain a
DJ residency at the largest nightclub
in town, The Star Bar. I DJ'ed at
the club for five years, and perfected
my DJ skills in the process. To show
his appreciation of my superior work,
the owner had a mural of my DJ name,
Stylus, painted on the DJ booth. Throughout
this time, I continued to DJ numerous
weddings, school dances, and college
events.
I graduated
with a Marketing degree in 2002, and
continued to focus on DJ'ing while
working other full time jobs. In 2003,
my wife and I moved to Sioux Falls,
SD. After getting settled, I was able
to secure another nightclub DJ position
at Borrowed Bucks Roadhouse, and then
later at Homer's Nightclub. I officially
established BPM DJ Productions, and
began DJ'ing weddings and school dances
throughout South Dakota, Minnesota,
and Iowa. I was able to set myself
apart from other mobile DJ's in the
area with my personality and skill
- both of which I have developed over
my 10+ years in the business. I love
to DJ, and it shows in my work.
Now, I work
a full time job during the week, and
DJ various events on the weekends.
I would love to discuss what I can
do to make your event extra special!

I can't wait
to hear from you!
