A Mobile Party Central – MidWeek Kaua’i<\/a>

Kustom Sounds Kauai has been in business for over 25 years.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Please tell us about your business.<\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n

Kaua\u2019i Kustom Sounds is a mobile entertainment company that has been in business for 25 years. If you were to come up with an idea and you want to throw a party, you\u2019re going to need entertainment, and we are the guys who come in and really make the show happen. Our equipment is top-of-the-line, and we\u2019re not just guys who press a button and hit play. Our DJs are emcees, so when you hire us, we carry the function from start to finish.<\/p>\n

Do your customers select the music?<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>\n

When customers get to the point that they are interested in booking us, we send them a conrmation in the mail with a form to ll out to give us an idea of what kind of music they want, how they want the program to go and, also, if they need any help putting the program together. Since we\u2019ve been doing this for so long, depending on where it is and what kind of party they want, I can mold the perfect program for them.\u00a0They tell us what they want and we customize it to their liking.<\/p>\n

What sets your business apart?<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>\n

There are many things, but the most important part is that we are entertainers. Anybody can order a DJina-box. Right now, with our technology, you can download all kinds of music and you can do it yourself on your iPod if you want. That\u2019s not what we do, we\u2019re not button-pushers. Our DJs are emcees, that\u2019s really our focus. Anybody can play music, but our DJs can take the party and make it enjoyable and ow smoothly. We can guarantee that it\u2019s going to be a great party if you hire our company.<\/p>\n

How did you get started in this business?<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>\n

When I was in grade school, I was the guy at the record player putting the records on while people were dancing, and I really enjoyed it. In high school, in 1978, a friend of mine and I did some DJ work, and did a weekend thing at the local gym and called it Boogie Down Productions. When I went to college at the University of Notre Dame, they were looking for a DJ at the local bar, and I sent them a cassette tape of my favorite songs I would play, and they hired me on the spot. After college, I worked at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Honolulu as a sales manager, and on the side I deejayed. So Kaua\u2019i Kustom Sounds went from one guy with some records to a full-blown eight multisystem company.<\/p>\n

\"MidWeek<\/a>
Dandurand is a DJ as well as a business owner.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
What is the most rewarding aspect of your business?<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>\n

It\u2019s at the end of the night when you look out there and everybody\u2019s dancing and having a great time. There\u2019s that one moment in their life, and as a DJ you are part of one of the most important days of a person\u2019s or couple\u2019s life. So you\u2019re a part of that and you\u2019re actually facilitating it to make it the most memorable part of their life, and it\u2019s a special thing that you\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n

\n
What kind of parties do you usually book?<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>\n

About 80 percent of our business is weddings, 10 to 15 percent is the local baby party and grad party market, and about 5 percent is conventions.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n

<\/article>\n
\n
Do you have a most memorable experience?<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>\n

There was a wedding I was doing at the Hyatt, and the father of the bride was carrying his grandchild and everybody was eating dinner and no one was paying attention to it. I played this song by Elton John, and he had the baby on the oor by himself and he was singing to his granddaughter, crying. That sticks out in my head that a song can bring out that kind of emotion in somebody.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n

\n
If you weren\u2019t doing this, what would you be doing?<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>\n

I envy sometimes the bartenders at Duke\u2019s or the guys who do the zip-line tours or the people at Captain Andy\u2019s. They\u2019re out there working with people having such a great time on vacation and they\u2019re doing fun stuff.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n
