DJ Spotlight of the Week- Rashaad


Rashaad has been with Split Second Sound since 2003. Fifteen years later and he still makes us laugh just as much as the first day he joined the family. There is no one in this world like Rashaad Wynn - We can promise you that! 

He got started in the music industry while working at a restaurant when Vinny and his family came in. When their order was ready, Rashaad called out Vinny’s name on the microphone with some flair! Vinny was impressed with Rashaad’s voice and knew he was natural MC that could be trained to be a professional and super fun Wedding MC. Vinny was interested in learning more about Rashaad and offered him to come in to see what Split Second Sound was all about. Rashaad is a natural entertainer which makes him a perfect fit to be one of our most witty and humorous emcees.

When Rashaad is working at weddings and events, he looks for an A-Team vendors with experience. He says, “Hardly any event goes exactly as planned down to every detail, but by the client hiring professional and skilled vendors, there is nothing the team cannot overcome. Experience is needed to overcome situations when they pop up.” He believes hard work is preparing for the worst, but being beyond ready for the best.

Rashaad’s biggest role models are his parents. He says, “Obviously I would not be here without them. As I get older I see the sacrifices they made for me more and more.” Rashaad’s favorite part of his job at SSS is entertaining and helping celebrate special moments in people’s lives. He has made a big impact by training others in the company, and we have no doubt he will continue to do so. He sets the bar high not only within our company, but within the entire city of Charlotte with his unmatched MC skills. He is the perfect balance of interactive and fun but organized and professional.

DJ Spotlight of the Week- Derek Andreas

Let’s shine the spotlight on Derek this week! Derek started DJing at the young age of 15 years old when he took over a friend’s family DJ business. Through going to gigs with them, he fell in love with music. Derek met Vinny while running in a 10K that he was DJing. At first, Vinny did not have a spot for Derek within the company, but Derek was very determined to join the SSS Family and did not give up. He actually showed up at Vinny’s house to play for him and to be considered as a SSS DJ. After seeing his skills and attention to detail, Vinny knew he had to give him a shot. He went through our extensive training process like all DJs with us, and now Derek has been with us for eleven years. He contributes his success in this industry and with Split Second Sound to the dedication of our DJs and the drive to get better at every single event. When asked what characteristics make him stand out as a DJ, Derek said, “I believe in being extremely prepared at each event. I wa...

He got his first KISS album when he was just six years old. He would crank it as loud as the stereo would handle and jump around on the bed playing air guitar with his tennis racquet and singing at the top of his lungs. When people asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up, the answer was simple….A ROCKSTAR! He got his first start as a lead singer in a hair band when he was 15 and the rest, well, it has been history. Everyone meet Steve Bradle! Steve has a part of the Carolina Panthers Black & Blue Crew for 6 seasons and is even co-captain and one of the four flag runners when the Panthers score a touchdown.
