Our Talent

Voted Best Event DJ Dave Swirsky-Expressway Music

My Style

I have been dj’ing events consistently since i was in high school. I began writing songs around the same time and for a time agonized what i wanted to do when i grew up (being a full time DJ or professional songwriter?)
While i have always been thrilled with my decision to become a full time DJ i did have some success with my original music found here
i ultimately began Expressway Music Inc back in 1992 as a DJ and Karaoke DJ services company. We have expanded greatly since then and have added Live Musicians/duos, trios, quartets, Photo booths, Audio/Visual services and more. I am so grateful to our DJ’s and staff and also are loyal clients who over the years have enabled us to have much success in a VERY competitive space. If you are planning an event whether it be a Kids karaoke birthday party, a wedding, Bar/Bat/B/B’nei Mitzvah or Corporate shin dig please feel free to contact me anytime to discuss.

David,

Thank you so much for helping us make Isabelle’s Bat Mitzvah a truly joyous event!  Everyone (and I mean everyone) had a great time. Dave, The music was terrific and captured the energy in the room, MC Daniel was great and a pleasure to work with, the dancers were fabulous and your help putting it all together was amazing!  We also had tons of people raving about the magician – he really blew people away.  The caricature artist was also a big hit!  And grown ups and kids alike were lining up for the photo booth. Your photographer Russ was a true professional and had a wonderful personality to work with – I cannot wait to see the photos!  

Truly, thank you for helping us put this all together.  Your experience and expertise were invaluable!  We don’t have a date yet for our son Matthew’s Bar Mitzvah, but you will be my first call when we do!

Thanks again!

Rachel

Dave,

It was great meeting you and working with you on our event. The guests loved your dj’ing and music selection and the violinist was killer. It was nice to be able to rent the up lights too. I’ll definitely be adding Expressway Music to our recommended vendors list at IBM.

It was a blast and thanks again!

Best regards,

Chris
