David Shalka
As the founder of Avalon Entertainment, I can honestly say this is a labor of love. My greatest joy in all of this comes at the end of a successful event. When the music stops and a couple gives you a sincere thank you and you know you were an important part of a day they will remember forever. When it all goes smoothly it doesn’t even feel like work. I have done countless events and weddings over the years, but my specialty is getting the dance floor packed and keeping it that way. I like to mix it up and get everyone dancing so I play a variety of music so everyone will hear something they enjoy.
Background
I started playing music for people when I was in high school. What blew me away is the thing that still amazes me today…it’s the power music has to move and inspire people. Music can lift us up and it has the ability to bring us together. This is what we bring to every event that we are a part of.
