Little did
Steve know that hours preparing for the dance would lead him towards
a lifelong dream and become the largest disc jockey service in
the Yuba-Sutter area. Steve's freshman year in high school continued
to provide opportunities to gain experience as a Disc Jockey.
Alicia school student body invited him to come back to perform
at all their dances. Steve's popularity began to grow and shortly,
other junior high schools requested his services. By this time,
Steve was borrowing every piece of equipment he could from his
father's home stereo to his older brother's car speakers. He made
weekly trips to the record store and purchased music for that
week's dance. His business sense had not grown yet for he would
spend equally on records, as he would be compensated for at a
dance. At the time, he charged $75.00 per dance and would easily
spend $80.00 on records. This did not bother Steve one bit. He
enjoyed his "hobby" and did not mind making little to
no money. Steve's payment was the ability to see his audience
move and get lost in the music.
Two years later, Steve got his first real job at Kentucky Fried
Chicken. Every penny he earned was used to purchase records and
equipment. Steve bought his first record player and a mixer and
was on his way to becoming a professional disc jockey. For that
year, Steve was asked to perform at his first high school dance
for his peers. As before, it was a huge success leading to other
opportunities to learn and gain valuable experience. At that dance,
one of the teachers in attendance asked Steve to perform at her
daughter's wedding reception. He commented, "I've never done
one before, but I'll give it my best shot."
He gave his best for that reception and other guests requested
his appearance at their receptions. Steve realized the potential
to make money and saw a business in the making. He decided he
needed a name and came up with TSPDJ.com standing for Ting
and Steve Productions. Ting was his older brother who helped him
because Steve had not yet earned his driver's license. Ting was
a great big-brother driving Steve around, helping set-up and an
even pushed play on the record players while Steve took a break
for a soda. The school dances lead to wedding receptions, anniversary
parties, birthday parties and corporate events. In 1992, Ting
and Steve decided it was easier to be family instead of business
partners. Ting went his way and started his own successful company.
Steve kept on working with TSPDJ.com and has made it the
largest and most respected DJ Company in Northern California.
