We’ve done violin, trumpet, sax, cello—you name it, I LOVE mixing it up with the best musicians in the game!

When beats meet brass, MAGIC happens! 🎷🎧

This fusion experience hits different—watching the dance floor EXPLODE when those live sax notes cut through the perfect beat drop is what I live for!

Nothing says luxury events like blending unexpected elements. That moment when digital precision meets raw musical talent… PURE electricity that transforms your celebration from great to unforgettable!

Which live musician should I collaborate, to create fusion, with next?

EMERALD CITY CAME TO LIFE at the Homeschool Prom! 🧙‍♂️✨ As your musical WIZARD of the evening, I brought ALL the magical vibes and turned that dance floor into the ultimate Yellow Brick Road of ENERGY!

These incredible students didn't just follow the yellow brick road—they OWNED it! From shy beginnings to full-on dance circles, watching everyone find their courage, heart, and brains on the dance floor was pure MAGIC!

The sparkling silver jacket was in FULL effect as I worked my wizard powers behind the booth! Creating those unforgettable moments is what makes this DJ life so special—whether it's a themed prom, wedding, or corporate event!

Witnessing beauty innovation in its purest form! ✨ I got to be part of this incredible moment from the Motherline skincare launch - a brand born from a mother's determination to heal her family's skin naturally.

As a DJ who's constantly meeting people, celebrating life's biggest moments, I know firsthand how confidence in your skin can transform your entire experience. Love seeing brands that understand healing comes from within and that what we put ON our bodies is just as important as what goes IN them.

Our Story

Servicing the DJ and MC needs of destination weddings and the Wasatch Front since 2004, Squawkbox Sound & DJ Services has now become Powell Weddings & Events: where we treat you like family. We’ve added a professional photographer in Morgan Leigh, and silent disco headsets with Mobile Party Starters. Our business started when Russ had a local touring indie rock band. One of his friends, Joe Tullius, asked to borrow the rockin’ sound system for his sister Tiffany’s backyard wedding. Russ wasn’t inclined to lend his expensive equipment out without supervision, so he offered to help instead. Michelle knowing Russ wasn’t fully comfortable with his knowledge of ‘90s country offered to come as well. At that wedding, two different couples came up and said they loved the music and atmosphere created and would like to hire us for their receptions. From there it snowballed into a full-service mobile DJ company that focused mainly on weddings and was known for their fun and professional demeanor. Fast forward to today where the equipment has changed, the level of services has been increased, the number of DJs has multiplied, and the love of special events has grown stronger; the attention to detail remains the same. Because, we treat you like family.
