Emerald Coast Top Salon 2017 Fashion Event | #bboygivesback

We’ve been involved with the Emerald Coast Top Salon event since its inception back in 2011. I (Brian B), personally, feel honored to have DJ’d 3 out of the 6 events (including the last 2 consecutive years). It’s a unique event in that they select a handful of local salons to participate and “battle” one another. Each salon has a charity they are supporting. The Emerald Coast Top Salon 2017 battle is fairly simple: Take one person (of the salon’s choosing) and do a complete make-up (hair, make-up, clothing, etc.). The winning salon’s charity is awarded a substantial cash donation.

The 2017 event was held at the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa in the Emerald Ballroom on April 7, 2017. Over 600 people were in attendance to see 14 salons battle it out and see their models walk the runway. Pure and Couture Salon won “Fan Favorite”, Southern Roots Salon and Spa won the “Judges’ Pick award” and the grand prize, the 2017 “Top Salon” was Avantgarde Salon Spa. This was Avantgarde 4th time winning the event and 2nd consecutive win. Their benefiting charity was Others of Destin, Inc.

DJ Brian B spun the pre-event music setting a high-energy tone with an open format.  There were 4 intermissions between the 14 salons that became “booty breaks” with attendees jumping on to the catwalk and dancing it up.

This was by far the most successful showcase in this event’s six year history.  Looking forward to including this event in our 2018 #bboygivesback plans.

Meet DJ Shawn Frady, your next Wedding DJ in Destin

Virtual Introductions

Because the majority of our clientele are considered “destination” clients, it makes it tough for them to meet their DJ/MC face to face prior to their wedding day. As a result, we thought it would be great idea to start a series of “Meet Your DJ” posts.

Pictures and event video footage are helpful, but what is your DJ REALLY like? What’s their personality type? How do they talk “off the mic”? Our management and sales team do a great job of pairing our headliner entertainers with the right couple, but sometimes the client wants to be the one to pick the person charged with handling what is arguably the most important day of their life. With that, we’ve partnered with Silver Shade Studios to put together some bio videos of each of our headlining DJ/MC staff.

Meet DJ Shawn Frady…

Today’s featured event DJ is Shawn Frady. Shawn is based out of our Emerald Coast of Florida office. He is an associate DJ and has been with B-Boy Productions since 2013. While weddings are our bread and butter, Shawn has done just about every event type imaginable – from weddings to corporate events to non-profit functions to fashion runway shows and even house parties, his experience and ability to tap into what the event calls for separates him from the majority of DJs not just in the local area but the country.
