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 Feature - Steve Bradle

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. He is a full-time personal trainer with Camp Gladiator where he runs five outdoor workout locations for 60-70 people weekly.

DJ Spotlight of the Week - Mike Glass

Mike Glass comes to us at SSS for many years, but has always been involved with music since he was a young boy. He grew up playing the piano and saxophone from elementary to high school, but eventually his brother started a DJ group and he tagged along. He DJ’d his way through high school and college and does not plan on stopping anytime soon. Why give up on such a unique talent that you have such a passion for?! When Mike moved to Charlotte as a teacher, he took a 10K pay cut. He was looking for a way to make extra money and returning to his DJ roots seemed like the best route. Mike says, “I was fortunate enough to respond to an ad and had an opportunity to interview with Vinny. What stuck out to me was the sense of family he portrayed. DJs were sticking with Split for 10 years and beyond. With the crazy egos we DJs can have, you have to be a good person to keep people around that long.” Mike’s flexibility makes him stand out within our company. Mike says, “You can find...
