Our History
James DJ James Production Solutions has come a long way since 2010 when first established as DJ James Disco/Karaoke. Here is our story.. The founder of DJ James Production Solutions, James Gelson, received a gift of a stereo when he was just 4 years old. This led on to him having a fascination with music and all it entails. After this, he was taken to many shows/gigs, one being a James gig, and he was fascinated by the lights and equipment so much so, that consequently he missed a large majority of the show! At the age of six, inspired by the idea of being a DJ he received his first DJ system, which he still owns to this day, even if it is a little dated! This opened up a can of worms for James, as every Thursday before Emmerdale, he performed for his family and gave a taster of the shows he had been practising. From this point, James grew and became even more inspired to join the business. All through school James studied Music, and became interested in Sound Engineering. He operated the desk on behalf of the school for many of their productions. Further on in his life, 2010 to be exact. Following the death of his Grandma, he decided to "Go Pro" with DJ James and start a business in her name, as she was one of the many people encouraging him to make a break in the industry. So as of the 20th April 2010 DJ James Disco/Karaoke was born. James used his thirst for professionalism to push him into the industry and soon ended up with regular gigs at the local pub, regular parties, regular engineering jobs, and pursued his passion in college too. Before he knew it, the business had expanded to such a large scale that he took the step and choice to make his one man band into a business, employing roadies, and a personal assistant to help him on his journey and to share all he knows. Since then, having built his knowledge and his following to what it is today, DJ James Disco/Karaoke has expanded and not only provides a DJ service, but also offers complete production solutions. This meant the business needed a rebrand from DJ James Disco/ Karaoke to DJ James Production Solutions (D.J.P.S) as it remains to this day. The business had a huge battle surviving the COVID-19 Pandemic, it was the first to close and was once of the last to re open. We have come through the other side, bigger and stronger than we were before. The main focus of the business has now shifted towards PA Hire and sound engineering, however we do still do Mobile Disco where requested, Often there are several events going on at once, and we aim to deliver the same professional friendly service every time. Recently James has taken on a residancy at Center Parcs Whinfell Forest where you can see him 3 times a week and you can listen to James live on True Beats every Friday and Saturday, www.trueradio.co.uk |
