Background
Darvon first got into music at the age of nine. His first instrument was a violin provided by his elementary school in the fourth grade. A year later, he joined the school choir. Darvon didn't own instruments of his own outside of school. Luckily his amazing mother owned a huge collection of Motown albums, and he has fond memories dancing and singing karaoke in the basement with his family. When he was 14, Darvon started rapping, greatly inspired by Motown legend Eminem, and walked to his local Radio Shack on 8-mile to purchase a desktop microphone and start recording his songs.
Darvon has opened for Ying Yang Twins, Ilovemakoneen, Inspecta Deck (Wu-Tang), Mike Jones, and many more artists as an emcee. He still loves music, whether its DJing, producing, or rapping and brings his wide range of music knowledge and experience to any event, from weddings (where his attention to detail is applauded by Amplify clients) to parties.

“We loved having AMPLIFY as our DJ! They were very helpful and professional with everything leading up to the wedding day. We had to change a few things last minute and it wasn’t a problem at all! Darvon was so nice and did an amazing job. He was great at communication throughout the reception! Would recommend them to anyone!”

“We absolutely loved having Amplify DJ at our wedding! We worked with Darvon and he did an amazing job with music and keeping the party going! After the wedding we had so many compliments on our music, so very happy we went with Amplify! They were super easy to work with and always responded in a timely manner, which was a major plus for us!”

“From start to finish, working with Amplify, specifically Nate & Darvon, was efficient and painless. This group knows exactly what they are doing and are willing to cater to your every need. The planning process was smooth, the meetings leading up to the wedding were productive, and the execution was there. This group did not miss. Darvon DJ’d like he’d been doing it his entire life. From the moment our reception started (we used Amplify’s string quartet for the ceremony, highly recommend), Darvon set the mood and you could tell our guests were having trouble staying in their seats. So much so, that we asked our own parents to get off the dance floor so we could get things rolling ha! Darvon kept the energy high, never ruined the vibe, and was always friendly towards guests if they had a request. Darvon was an essential part of our big day and he was flawless. Many thanks to the Amplify team but especially Darvon for making a memorable day, that much better.”

“Darvon was fantastic!! We had a lot of little special requests that we made that he executed perfectly, and he even threw in a few personal detail songs at the end of the night that we weren’t expecting that we LOVED! He kept the dance floor running all night even though it was a little hot out and our guests had a blast. Thank you so much, Amplify!”

“Amplify did not disappoint!! I booked Darvon for my wedding on the beach in St George Island. Everyone loved him and he did an awesome job. From the music on the beach for the ceremony, our introduction, first dance, and the dance party for the rest of the night, all of our music was perfect!! Thanks so much Darvon for making our wedding that much more memorable.❤️”

“My DJ was Darvon and he was absolutely amazing. Darvon was everything we were looking for in a DJ. He was polite, professional, read a room and provided an amazing experience. The owner, Nate, was also amazing and was beyond helpful and maintained open communication and provided helpful resources for wedding planning. We highly recommend Amplify!”

“Amplify is amazing. Responsive, prompt, professional. I have been to 3 weddings they have serviced (including my own) and each one was different and so well tailored to the couple getting married. They DJ’d my wedding and reception and did a phenomenal job. Nate and Darvon (our DJ) were both incredibly responsive and tailored everything exactly as we needed it. They kept in touch with us throughout the planning process and were open to any suggestions we had, no matter how late we would message or email them. Not to mention Darvon was able to make changes to the music on the fly when necessary. We had a solid mix of younger and older crowd and everyone had a blast. 10/10, I can’t recommend Amplify enough.”

“Okay, Amplify has got to be the best DJ business in town. Nate was very easy to work with, especially since we had to postpone our wedding during covid. He was so easy to work with and he was very accommodating, even with our many venue changes. Nate is an amazing person and he has wonderful people that work for him. We had DJ Darvon for our wedding and he was absolutely AMAZING. He 100% delivered on probably the greatest party ever. He kept people dancing and vibing and had the perfect music playlist for all the parts of the wedding. He even sent us a Spotify playlist to review all of the songs he planned for the dancing, background music for our cocktail hour and music for when guests were waiting for the ceremony to start. He was great in handling what our requests were and even offered some wonderful ideas for songs for certain times of the wedding (cake cutting, intro, send off, etc.) Darvon, thank you so much for a wonderful night. My guests could not stop talking about how much fun they had with you as the DJ.”

“The DJ/MC plays such an important role for setting the mood and energy for the wedding and we lucked out getting Darvon from Amplify to be a part of our wedding day. He was professional, super friendly and had a great music set. He worked closely with the coordinator on announcements and keeping with our timeline and was also so very accommodating for special requests. We had such a fun wedding and reception and would highly recommend Darvon for anyone looking to have a good time!!”

“Amplify starts off their process with a meeting to get a feel for how you want your event to go. Based on DJ availability and our questionnaire, Amplify matched my wife and I up with Darvon. Darvon got in touch with us right away and started working on getting everything ready. We went over the questionnaires, worked out details, and went over the questions/concerns we had. Darvon made himself available to us even if we had questions after our meeting. I was easily able to contact him to change out some songs in our playlists. Before the event, Darvon sent over playlists that had all of our song requests and many more that Darvon used his awesome skills to curate! At our request, Darvon chopped up some of our songs so we got to hear the best parts. He really went above and beyond! Going into our wedding, we had complete confidence in Darvon and Amplify nailing the music and emcee duties! The day of, Darvon and his assistant showed up on time and made sure everything was set up in the right spots with the help of our wedding party. We really had nothing to worry about in the music department. Darvon nailed the music during the ceremony and the reception, really making it an unforgettable day!”
Eric + Amanda
“Amplify truly made our wedding day absolutely perfect! Darvon and Nate were an absolute dream to work with! They paid attention to every detail and made the process so effortless! Whether you have a specific vision in mind or are a more relaxed couple, they will make sure your day goes perfectly! We were lucky enough to have Darvon for our wedding and we simply couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful DJ! He managed to get everyone dancing and keep them dancing all night, even with the rain! He even worked to incorporate songs from our favorite movies and games to ensure that the wedding was just like we dreamed it would be! If you’re looking for a DJ, we highly recommend Amplify!!”

Bliss + Anthony
“We were SO PLEASED with Darvon. Because our wedding was at the tail end of COVID-19, we made every effort to ensure our wedding was safe for our guests. But of course, we still weren’t sure if people would feel comfortable dancing. Darvon played such incredible music that our entire wedding couldn’t HELP but jump on the dance floor! So many people told us it was the most fun wedding they’d ever been to, and we fully credit Darvon for so much of this. He was incredibly communicative during the planning process as well. We’d recommend him to anyone!”

“Amplify was a pleasure to work with. Darvon has a tremendous musical knowledge-base that is truly in a class of his own. He helped facilitate a smooth and stress free wedding, from the ceremony’s processional, through the reception, and all the way through to the last song in our after-hours playlist. Extremely accommodating and professional.”
