A Music Plus got its start in 1985 when professional musician Pat Bruno was asked to fill in as a DJ at a friend's private party. The party and music were such a huge hit that the idea of parlaying professional music knowledge into a part time DJ career was born.

history

Pat finished college in 1987 and became a math teacher at Pecos Junior High School in Thornton, while working as a part time DJ on the side. Two years later, Pat moved to Northglenn High School where he taught his final year of math.

By 1990 the A Music Plus had grown so successfully that it was time to make a career decision, and Pat chose to put all of his energy into making A Music Plus the best DJ service in the Rocky Mountain Region. A Music Plus went full time and opened an office in the former Bridal Plaza at Yale, at I-25 and Yale. By adding five sound systems and several new DJs, A Music Plus was growing rapidly in local popularity.

growth

Throughout the 1990's, A Music Plus added sound systems, DJs and full time staff members until it had outgrown their small office in Bridal Plaza at Yale. In 1999 A Music Plus moved to its current location at I-25 and the Boulder Turnpike. The new location provided A Music Plus with more office space, a huge warehouse and room to grow.

Through 1999 and right up to 9-11, growth was tremendous, with A Music Plus incorporating twenty sound systems, forty DJs and five full-time office staff members. In 2006, A Music Plus brought on the experience and knowledge of one of Colorado's premier booking agents and now offers all forms of live music as well as continuing to be recognized for offering Colorado's finest DJs. A Music Plus currently performs at over 1500 events each year.

Though many companies exhibiting this kind of growth would get overwhelmed, A Music Plus has never suffered this problem. Highly organized and efficient, with numerous checks and balances in place, A Music Plus is able to give each client personalized service, while servicing a large and diverse clientele.
