| "Last night I photographed a wedding at Miami University in Oxford, OH, that featured the best Dj I've ever seen work a reception! And with my 36 years of wedding photography, that's saying something. I'm just a tad hard to impress! His name is Andy Purchase and he redefines high velocity entertainment. Somehow he managed to turn nearly every dance into a "photo opportunity" for me. I found myself shooting more than a hundred extra digital images at the reception! If you're having a wedding reception, you'd be well advised to give Andy a call!" - Bill Collins of Bill Collins photography "Andy thanks so much for the great job you did at our wedding reception. We had a great time, as did our guests. It was hard to talk to our guests they were all on the dance floor! Thanks for such a great time. We really appreciate all your hard work!" - Kevin and Jamie Coston Wedding "The student council at Yavneh would just like to thank you very much... We greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into this, and it turned out to be an excellent night. Everyong agrees that this is the best DJ we've ever had for any of our school dances..." - Yavneh Day School's Student Council "Very happy with the event. Andy and Scott were willing to do whatever we asked to make the event great!" - Jim Matthias of Yellow Book USA "Andy, Congratulations on a job well done! Our employees had a great time. I really appreciate all your help with the exciting entertainment. Thanks again." - Liberty Huther, Hillshire Farm and Kahn's Important Notes: Andy was featured in the January 2000 issue of DJ Times Magazine as Mobile DJ of the Month.

| Andy caught the entertainment "bug" early in life with his very first solo singing performance at the age of nine. From there his passion grew. He learned to play piano and guitar, writing original music. At the age of eighteen he became a member of "The Few, The Proud" the U.S. Marines. During his tour of duty he continued playing his guitar and singing to audiences on a regular basis. During his enlistment, a tragic incident occurred involving multiple gun shot wounds to his head and neck. With the help of God, Andy was determined not to let it get him down. Although his injury has made it difficult for him to play the guitar his passion for music and entertainment continues. |
