Steve Drews
Sounds Abound DJ and Master of Ceremonies
Steve's Bio
Music has been a central part of my life since I was very young, being my family’s DJ every morning when I was growing up. I officially started DJing and MCing events when I was 12, building a DJ company in eastern Wisconsin that played school events, car shows, and weddings. After graduating high school, I continued to DJ and MC while attending college, working for Ashland, WI’s WJJH 96.7 FM as their morning radio personality and station meteorologist as well as DJ for WJJH’s Music Machine DJ Service. After graduating college and moving to Kansas, I joined one of the state’s most-respected and largest DJ companies, Advanced DJ Service. I was given the opportunity to combine my love of music and weather on a daily basis, becoming known throughout Kansas on the radio air waves and at weddings, school dances, and corporate events as “Stormin’ Steve”. My weather career brought me to Chicago 5 years later, and my DJ passion brought me to the Sounds Abound family.
My philosophy has remained the same since I was a young DJ and MC – to make your event uniquely yours, completely stress-free, and lots of fun! My full dedication to your special event combined with my vast musical knowledge and experience with audio and lighting equipment, event coordination, public speaking, and on-the-fly flexibility will make for an event that you and your guests will be talking about for years to come!
