Levar About Me | Testimonials | My Blog

We don’t just provide entertainment... We create it!

Music has been a passion of his since LeVar was a child. At the age of 9, he began taking a strong interest in the songwriting process and development of songs in the Hip Hop and R&B genre. As he got older he furthered his knowledge and practiced the trumpet for 6 years, playing in concerts and the marching band. During his freshman year of high school, he began to develop engineering and production skills to record and produce demos for various local artists as well as his own personal career as an independent hip hop artist. In 2006 he graduated from Winthrop University with a degree in Business Administration, where he interned at a digital production/recording studio and was hired on fulltime after his graduation. LeVar was introduced to Vinny Esposito and they immediately made a connection with their passion for music. He joined Split Second Sound in October of 2006 and has enjoyed it every since. Split Second provides top quality service and Levar has always been proud to say that he is a part of the family. He brings a young and energetic feel to any party, and his personality and passion for music is a perfect match with Split Second Sound and DJ Services! LeVar a.k.a. “Mista LG” has just finished his second CD titled Secret Identity and he has worked very hard on it. His love and passion is evident in his music and the production of his CD.
Levar won, in a tight battle, the Most requested DJ by vendors & clients in both 2010 and 2011. He also won the 2011 Lifetime Achievement award for his contributions towards SSS and the DJ industry. in 2011, Levar appeared on the music track "Carolina Shuffle" with Ken Knox of Chairman of the Board and has performed the song live with the band at many venues.

9 June 2012 Split Second Sound helped us have one amazing reception! LeVar helped us plan out our reception evening about 2 weeks prior to event- it made us want to have our reception that night- he had us so pumped up to get our reception started! We booked them about 8 months in advance & could contact SSS at any time with prompt response. Amazing, amazing!

We were referred to Split Second Sound by our wedding planner, Erica Stawick of Sweet November Events. It is the only DJ company that she recommended & she was adamant we use them. After meeting with Vinny I did not need any further convincing! I know that we would have been happy with any of their entertainers but Erica had worked with Levar on a previous wedding & knew he would be perfect for our wedding. Levar took the time to meet with us before the wedding & get a feel for the type of music & vibe we wanted for our wedding. He listened to all of our requests & played everything we asked for, edited our 'wedding song' to make a shorter version for our dance & added a few of his own ideas that were awesome! My husband, who is not easy to please when it comes to music, is a huge Pearl Jam fan. Levar even managed to fit them in early in the night. This did not go unnoticed! We had a very small wedding but he was able to keep our guests dancing all night & played a great mix of everything, including requests! Our guests have not stopped talking about what an amazing job he did! We were extremely pleased with his professionalism & ability to keep the party going! We would definitely recommend him to anyone!

14 April 2012 Split Second Sound sent two DJs to our reception. That allowed one to mingle and get a feel for the crowd while the other kept the music going. We had Levar as our primary DJ. He had a great feel for our crowd. Our guests ranged in age from infants to 80+ years old. He picked a great variety of music and played something for everyone. He even took requests. Split Second Sound is a great company to work with. They're very professional and easy to work with. They have years of experience and expect nothing but the best of their DJs. I certainly feel that we got the best. At the end of the night when our wedding guests were literally yelling for more, I think our guests agreed that Split Second Sound made the party.

We had an awesome experience with Levar and Split Second Sound. Michelle, you have been extremely helpful and responsive since our first contact with you. Levar was wonderful to work with. He took the time to come to our house before the wedding to get to know us and what we were looking for. He was a true professional, he has great passion for his job and it shows. The dance floor was full the whole night and it was because of Levar and his partner. We are truly grateful!

9 July 2011 Hi Michelle, you have been AMAZING throughout this process. You helped me get to and through our wedding day without really worrying about anything music-related. Working with SSS has left us completely satisfied; you provided us with great uplights that lit up the room at a good price, you gave us a SUPERB set of DJs and your online forms made it easy to share and even update our preferences with you. Keith and I would recommend you and the entire SSS staff in a second. Now, let me tell you about LeVar. :) He was awesome. Before the wedding he connected with Keith and me to discuss the flow of the night. He must have heard everything we said! At the reception, after Keith and I had our grand entrance to Black Republican by Jay-Z and Naz (one of our favorites!) we heard so many other favorite songs of ours. When we started to walk around the room to greet guests, Keith's dad mentioned that he had heard so many of his favorite songs from the 70s. We noticed that as soon as dinner was finished most of our friends were up dancing for the rest of the night. By the end of the reception much of my family mentioned that they heard so many of their favorite west indian hits. Some say, you can't please all the people all the time--but these two djs did! I am so thankful for LeVar, Jordan M and all of the SSS staff. The music was one thing that all of our guests just could not stop talking about.

Split Second Sound was absolutely amazing. My DJ's, Joey and Levar, were amazing. They made my wedding reception flow perfectly and I couldn't have asked for better DJ's. My wedding was no alcohol and they still got people on the dance floor! Any questions I had were responded to same day via email. They have many different package options for every budget. They made sure to call the week before the wedding and do a step by step walk through with me so I knew exactly what was going to happen. I didn't have to worry about anything on the wedding day and it was perfect!

Ashley Hagwood

8 October 2011 LeVar was fantastic. He was both professional and great fun -- he kept the dancefloor packed all night, managed the flow of the evening beautifully and overall just made the whole night a great party. When we spoke a week before the wedding, it was clear that he totally got the vibe we were going for, and he executed everything we asked without so much as a minor hiccup!

17 September 2011 We just wanted to send a little shout to thank you for making our night so amazing. You worked out the bridal party entrance so great. We appreciate you working with us. Then whole night was such an an absolute blast. All the music selections were perfect. Everyone was commenting about how much fun it was dancing. You had people on the dance floor I never would’ve thought would be out there. So thank you so very much. We truly appreciate it. It meant so much to us!

John and I appreciate everything that you did for us. You were absolutely the bomb and all of our guests and family members enjoyed you and said that you were very personable with them and that you felt like you were a part of our family. I am tickled with the way that everything turned out. I was told over and over again how wonderful the music was and how everything flowed. If we ever throw another huge event, we definitely will hire you to do our music! You were such a gem and made our wedding day even more special.

5 August 2011 Hi, I was fortunate enough to have you all DJ at our wedding on Aug 5, 2011. Our DJ was LeVar. I just want to say that he did an amazing job. I was so pleased with everything from the lighting, music choices, & high energy without the "cheese". He kept people on the dance floor all night and we received alot of positive feedback from our guests on how much fun they had & how good the music was. So big thanks to Split Second Sound & thanks to LeVar for being available to talk with us & help brainstorm different ideas!

21 May 2011 Dan and I were very pleased with Levar and Sam as our DJs for our wedding reception. We asked many of our guests and they all thought the DJs were great!!! Some of the guests said they like how friendly Levar was and liked how he came around to each table introducing himself and that they could request songs. The flow of the reception went really well and it was nice to know that Dan or I didn't need to worry about what to do next because Levar had it under control. We will definitely recommend Split Second Sound to anyone.

I wanted to take this opportunity to express how pleased I was with Levar! He was the DJ for our party and he did a fabulous job from first contact, follow up and his professionalism on the day of our event. He kept the party rockin' and he was great at reading the crowd. He provided exactly what I asked for and exactly what he promised and not only that every commented on what a nice guy he was. We loved Levar! I would not hesitate to recommend him or to use him in the future. Thanks Levar for making our event a success!

15 May 2010 LeVar-I just wanted to thank you for DJing my wedding on May 15th. Everyone said it was the best wedding reception they have ever been to and I know people did not want the party to end. You definitely did a fabulous job of making everything flow smoothly. I really cannot thank you enough and I will recommend you to everyone I know getting married soon!

Mahailey Davis Nettles

5 June 2010 LeVar did a great job! He was very professional, very well spoken and things ran very smoothly at our reception. The music was great and he kept people on the dance floor. He was also very easy to work with and had a very outgoing personality. He gave us good advice and was always available if we had questions or concerns. Jonathan and I liked him a lot and would definitely recommend him to friends in the future. We were very impressed with him and the company as a whole.

Christian McCall

2 October 2010 Levar was excellent. Levar made our wedding great. He was interactive and kept the crowd dancing. We had several guests (including the Mother and Father of the Groom) who enjoy Shag Dancing and requested several Shag songs which Levar was happy to play. Levar knew exactly the right music to play for the crowd and made sure everyone enjoyed the wedding. We could not have asked for a better performance.

Carol Schneider

3 April 2010 We truly enjoyed having Split Second Sound assist us at Isaiah and Nicole wedding reception. Levar and Alicia did an awesome job performing at our daughter's wedding reception. Levar made sure he communicated with us prior to the wedding date. They handle themselves very professional at the reception. Our guests at the reception had a wonderful time.

Sylvester & Christal Chisolm

17 July 2010 Levar and Neil were excellent! We spoke prior to the wedding giving them a general idea of the type of music we like and a few songs we wanted to play, and with that little bit of info, they totally captured what we were envisioning for our reception. Not only did we enjoy the musical selection, but I know our guests did as well as our dance floor was always full!! In addition to song selection, they made the evening really easy for us by easily leading us through the scheduled portions of the reception. Lastly, and most importantly, they were professional, friendly, and fun!!

Thank you again for helping to make our reception such a memorable one - it was an amazing night and we are so glad you were a part of it.
