Today we’d like to introduce you to DJ Ron Allen.
Hi DJ Ron, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
Growing up on the south side of Chicago, the birth of House Music, I started Djing at the age of 10 with my best friend Corey Smith. I was taught by The Legendary Dj Bruce Jones. Being inspired with spinning records, studying different genres of music and making people dance. I joined a local DJ group called GWP. The members included The Late legendary house Dj Paul Johnson and Eric Martin. We went on djing and promoting High School, Teenage and Club parties in Chicago.
Being Motivated to advance my career, I relocated to Atlanta in 1996. I immediately went to work as a Tour Manager for Benson and Hedges Tour. I worked with The Gap Band, Cameo, The Time and Many Major Groups.
In 2000, I started my own company The Ron Allen group. My Company Provides The Best Dj service and we also host special events. In 2005, I partnered with several DJs to form an Atlanta DJ network. Dj Lonnie Luv, Dj Bless, Dj M and Dj Clef Dj GS1. We would change the Viewing landscape in Atlanta’s Sportbars and Night Clubs. We introduce to the Market Video Djing. We partnered with Dugans Sport Bar and became The first Sports Bar to show Videos as part of Atlanta Nightlife. In 2008, I worked With Obama Campaign and Hosted three watch parties in one night at several Bars. My team would go on for ten years djing some of Atlanta’s biggest Parties.
In 2015 I supported THE LGBT community. I join forces with Ladies in Atlanta. They are a Professional traveling and event group. The Owners of the group are Tia & Vette Mason. They host monthly events in which I am their residential DJ
In 2018, I would get a major break. I was asked to DJ for Reginald Scandrett. He was running for Sheriff in Henry County, GA. In the Middle of the Campaign Shaquille O Neal joined the team. I would now DJ for Reginald Scandrett and Shaquille O’Neal. When Reginald won the election, He Became The First Black Sheriff, I became the First Official Dj for A sheriff Department in 2020. I would DJ Shaquille O Neal Celebrity Golf Fundraiser.
In 2020, during the Covid Lockdown, I partnered with Pastor Dallas Wilson of Center of Hope Church, I DJ for the church, hosting an outside worship service. The church was able to host outdoor service every Sunday during Covid.
In 2022, I launched Date Night Atlanta. An event for couples to celebrate love, dancing and dinner, I am Raising the Bar in Atlanta, offering the people something different. We just getting started.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
My struggles was part of the journey! I was a single father raising a three years old daughter. So many times, I didn’t have daycare at night. So in the 90s The Dj would carry records and equipment bag. So in my bag, I would sneak my Daughter in the bag, The Club Owners never knew that my daughter was in the bag, I sneak my daughter in the DJ booth, she would go to sleep and I would rock the party with my three years old daughter.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
