John Benson (DJ ''JB'')
DJ ''J.B.,'' as he is known to everybody is really John Benson, owner of AAA SOUND EVENTS in Westlake Village.
He has been a musician since the age of 11, when he started playing the guitar. From there he went on to learn and play many other instruments such as piano, bass and drums.
Throughout his school career he played in many bands ranging from Hard Rock, Disco, & Top 40 and always keeping it fun for everybody. After awhile he found himself going behind the board to direct a lot of bands and helping them in live arenas. John is now going on his 20th year as a Sound Engineer for bands.
During his events he found there was no music being played and that the bands took ''a long break,'' so he began to DJ. This has turned out to be a great niche in his industry. His music library is extensive and ever growing to feed the need of his client base.
J.B. has entertained clients such as PEPSI, R.S.I., YAHOO, just to name a few. He enjoys getting people to dance like they have never danced before by playing the best music from 70s/80s, Oldies/Classics, TOP 40 and more!! Come see for yourself and have a great time doing it!
