Joel Brown
Fun. Outgoing. Energized. Extreme?
While the first three words aptly describe MC/DJ extraordinaire Joel Brown, we aren’t quite sure that the fourth does. Sure, at times he may have some extreme moments in his life, but we’re not sure that qualifies someone as extreme.
Is someone extreme because they prefer their roast beef sandwiches with mayo and honey mustard in lieu of traditional mustard? Hardly.
What about someone who will binge watch entire seasons of his favorite shows on Netflix? Having too much time on your hands doesn’t necessarily make you extreme.
Oh, and his love for the outdoors and “extreme” sports like BMX riding and skateboarding. They may sound a bit intense, but all of that is in the past. For example, if he was to dislocate his arm again after a failed ollie attempt up a curb, the mature Joel would take the heavy numbness in his arm (so bad he felt like his arm wasn’t even there) as a sign that he should immediately see a doctor, instead of simply continue on with his day and go to a movie with friends-like he did when these events actually unfolded years ago.
Even his musical tastes and aspirations might be mislabeled as extreme at times. Just because he surrounds himself with all things music (concerts, festivals, producing and creating his own), doesn’t mean he’s an extreme DJ and performer-just that he is extremely good at what he does. His ability to play to the crowd is also one of the attributes that makes him a great MC. He has an appreciation for the role that music plays at each event and relishes the opportunity to grab the mic and take control so his clients can enjoy the party.
Joel thrives on the energy of the crowd, and is also adept at creating it with his smile and outgoing personality. His most memorable event takes him back to the Meadow Club, where he relives memories of an incredible dance party.
“It was special because I knew the family wanted a lot of dancing time,” Joel recalls, and “being able to work in the formalities in a way that honored tradition but also kept with the family’s wishes was a great feeling.” A feeling that was only topped by a palpable energy buzzing all night on the dance floor.
“It was crazy,” Joel admits, “they just kept going.”
For a guy with extremist tendencies, it seems the only things truly extreme about Joel are the dance floors he commands and the memories he helps create.
