OUR STORY
Sound Obsession was founded in 2007 by Tom Violo, but the story started long before that. Tom and the team have been DJing and working in live events since the 1990s, building the kind of experience that only comes from years of working with different audiences and event types.
Our approach is simple: be professional, be prepared, and make sure your event runs smoothly. We work closely with you to plan the details, coordinate timing, and create the right atmosphere for your guests.
Over nearly two decades, Sound Obsession has grown from a one-person operation into a full-service entertainment company, offering DJ services, MC hosting, live music, lighting, and photo booth rentals. While our services have expanded, our focus has stayed the same: read the room, adapt to the crowd, and help create an event your guests will genuinely enjoy.

He DJ’ed our mixed Persian bridal shower. He was professional, had great MC services and was naturally charismatic. Feedback from the crowd loved the way he blended Persian music with the bride’s favourite collection of hip hop and top 40s as well. Would highly recommend Tom’s services.Posted on Google Xarius JasavalaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sound Obsession was recommended to us from our Wedding planner - Laura (Living It Up Laura), and it was an amazing recommendation for them to provide the music and lighting for our wedding. Tom was amazing! Extremely organized, easy to speak to/great communication and showed professionalism throughout the whole process. Tom ensured that the night was lively, and kept the entire party going! The dance floor was NEVER empty!

Hire Sound Obsession if you want to DANCE. Got married two days ago at the Spice Factory and hired Tom to DJ our night - from 9:30pm to 1am I had absolutely no idea what time it was. We made him a dauntingly huge song request list ahead of time but he knew exactly what to play and when to play it, never letting the dance floor lose momentum. So many friends and family that do NOT dance were up on the floor for SO long! We're in our early thirties but also had a lot of relatives there that were 60+, and Tom was masterful in the way he catered just enough to the older crowd to keep them invested, but also never let the younger crowd get bored. We did a lot of research on DJs and Sound Obsession was extremely affordable for the level of service they offered. Will add some photos as soon as we get them back!!Posted on Google Kelsey O'CallaghanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sound Obsession is absolutely amazing! We had our wedding this past Saturday and DJ Noiyz (Ed) was incredible. He knew how to keep the party going and everyone was dancing all night long. Tom Violo was also extremely consistent, personable and communicative. He made sure that everything we wanted was going to be delivered. I highly recommend booking with them. Their app also made everything smooth. We can’t thank them enough! DJ Noiyz (Ed) you crushed it. Our guests spoke very highly of you! :)Posted on Google Lindsey FairleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could give ten stars, I would! Jarett was absolutely phenomenal!!! He is a natural on the mic and knew exactly how to please the crowd and fill the dance floor! I'm looking through some photos and can see him in the background grinning ear to ear, he was part of our family for the night!! I couldn't be happier with his support and professionalism! Thanks for making that the best party and one we'll be talking about forever!!!! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU SO FREAKIN' MUCH!!Posted on Google Nikki PapasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the pleasure of having Tom DJ for our wedding and it was truly the most amazing night. We didn’t leave the dance floor because the music was too good. Beyond doing his job well Tom is an awesome guy who went above and beyond to make our night run smoothly and feel extra special. He took care of everything with ease and we cannot recommend him enough!
