About Expressway Music
Our Story
Expressway Music began with a musician. David Swirsky, a singer-songwriter as well as a professional event DJ, founded the company in July 1992 and still leads it today. His original songs have appeared on film soundtracks and been recorded by other artists, and that musician’s ear is the thread running through every event we play.
That instinct is the difference. David understands how a song builds, how a room breathes, and how the right track at the right moment turns a good party into a night people talk about for years. He started Expressway with DJ and karaoke services, then grew it into a full event-entertainment company, adding live musicians, photo booths, silent disco, and professional audio and video production, all held to the standard a working musician expects.
More than three decades later, that standard still defines us. Couples, families, and corporate planners across New York City and Westchester have trusted Expressway with their most important days, and our clients keep coming back, leaving a 4.9-star rating across more than 219 reviews. From corporate events to bar and bat mitzvahs to weddings, we bring the same founder-led care to every booking.
Today David leads a hand-picked team of DJs, emcees, dancers, and classically trained musicians serving all five boroughs, Westchester County, and the wider tri-state area. The company has grown, but the principle has never changed: the music has to be right, because the founder is a musician first.
