About Us

At Sound Defying Entertainment we feel that no matter what your event is, it is important! We spend countless hours preparing for your event to make it as special and memorable as it should be. We know how much time you spend on planning your event, so don’t choose the wrong entertainment company. Let us DJ and make your event everything it should be, and more!

Sound Defying Entertainment was started in 2001 by Mike and Matt. A good friend, who was already established in the DJ business, was upgrading his equipment. They decided to enter the business and purchased some of his used equipment. Sound Defying Entertainment quickly grew and was the primary DJ service for most Hanover Township events including Teen Dances and Opening Ceremonies for the township sports within our first year in business. Matt left the company in 2006 and moved to Maryland to start his career as a Police Officer. Mike owns SDE and has performed at a record number of events, year after year. Some of our corporate and well known clients include Wells Fargo Bank, Bayer, Dingmans Dairy, BASF, Celegene, Honeywell, Harding Township Schools, Denville Township Schools, Mendham Township Schools, the Morris County Prosecutors Office, Haband!, Dina Manzo of RHONJ, United Negro College Fund, and many more.

We are a NJ State DJ Vendor and hold the necessary amount of insurance per state guidelines. NJ State, County, Town Governments, State Colleges and Public Schools contact us for your event!
