Dave
Salonia (aka Davy Jay) got started in college and professional
radio in the mid-70’s. At the same time, Dave partnered
with some college buddies and started a mobile DJ entertainment
company. After a few years, Dave decided to try the nightclub
scene, and went solo, performing at many of Hartford and Springfield’s
top nightclubs through the mid 80’s. While at the clubs,
Dave perfected his beat-to-beat mixing, a skill that he uses
extensively to motivate his audiences today. Dave was also
awarded the best mixer award by RCA Records in NYC. After
marrying his college sweetheart, Susie, and having two children,
Dave decided to leave the nightclub scene to pursue the mobile
DJ wedding business. Dave is a graduate of CSB (CT School
of Broadcasting) and worked at "Rock 102" in Springfield,
MA as a morning news producer and voiceover talent for commercials.
Dave has recently been named "Mixmaster All-Star"

and perform at private and public engagements. Dave’s
hallmarks are professional MC skills, along with classy, memorable
and fun entertainment programs, custom tailored to his clients’
musical tastes. Due to his extensive radio, nightclub and
