DJ SonOfJohn Stadium Experienced Open Format Mobile DJ for weddings, parties & corporate

I’m Baz Johnson, the Bristol-based DJ behind DJ SonOfJohn. With more than 30 years of DJ experience, including five years as stadium DJ for Bristol Bears, I bring a lifelong love of music, an understanding of different audiences and a personal approach to weddings, parties, corporate events and sporting occasions.

My DJ journey stretches from the days of vinyl and the DMC scene through to today’s digital technology. The equipment has changed, but the pleasure of finding the right track for the moment has stayed with me. Whether it’s a song that brings back a memory, an unexpected favourite or an anthem that gets everyone singing together, those reactions are why I love what I do.

My five years with Bristol Bears gave me invaluable experience of creating atmosphere on a large scale. Stadium DJing is about timing, attention and knowing when to build the excitement. That experience shapes how I approach every event, from a wedding reception to a birthday party: listening, watching the room and adapting the music as the occasion develops.

My musical tastes are broad, with a particular passion for ’80s electronic music, ’90s dance, house and Ibiza classics. I also enjoy bringing together soul, disco, pop, indie anthems and familiar party favourites across the decades. For a celebration with several generations in the room, I build a set that gives different guests their moment while keeping the evening flowing.

Every booking starts with a conversation about you. I want to know what you love, which songs mean something to you, what your guests enjoy and anything you would prefer me to avoid. Your requests help shape the evening, alongside the flexibility to respond to the dancefloor on the night.

I perform as a solo DJ and provide a professional sound and lighting setup suited to your event and venue. Personalised artwork displayed on screen can add another individual touch to your celebration. If you would like live saxophone alongside the DJ set, this can also be discussed, subject to the saxophonist’s availability.

I take the preparation as seriously as the performance. Clear communication, a personal consultation and an agreed plan help you feel confident about your entertainment well before the day arrives. My background in a very high pressure career has also taught me the importance of reliability, staying calm under pressure and working well with people—qualities I bring to every booking.

I’m a member of the National Association of DJs (NADJ), hold public liability insurance and use PAT-tested equipment.

Based in Stoke Gifford, Bristol, I welcome enquiries across the South West, South Wales and further afield, including overseas events. Whether you’re planning a wedding, a milestone birthday, an anniversary, a company celebration or a sporting event, I’d love to hear what you have in mind.

Music has been a constant throughout my life. Through DJ SonOfJohn, I get to share that passion and help people celebrate the moments that matter to them. My aim is simple: to make you feel looked after, bring your guests together and give you a night you’ll remember.
