Raul Cruz

Owner and DJ
Raul's passion for DJing is as hot as the Mexican sun under which he was born. Before starting his DJ career, Raul used to dance and compete in his hometown of Puerto Vallarta. His enthusiasm for dance turned to a passion for music… which lead him to DJing. He realized the power music has to move people and make them happy. Since the mid 80s, Raul has DJed extensively at special events such as weddings, company parties, dance parties, theme parties, birthdays and anniversaries.

"Music is the way I communicate best with people; I give to the guests and they give their energy right back to me."

What Clients and the Media Say...

Rio Crazy! Very Mobile DJ Service was selected as the “Mobile DJ of the Month” by the International DJ Times Magazine, one of the top trade publications. This is the first time the International DJ Times Magazine has selected a Canadian company in this category.

Raul is very passionate about his business and dedicated to his customers.

Clients repeatedly comment on the excellent service. A bride writes, “We really appreciated the level of attention and cooperation we received from Rio Crazy! prior to the wedding. Raul spent hours to meet with us again and again to discuss our needs and to assist us in planning the event. That has set Rio Crazy! apart from other DJ services.”

Not only is Rio Crazy! very mobile – but also very versatile. A feature in the North Shore News states: "The very mobile disc jockey and entertainment service caters parties of 40 to 600 people throughout the Lower Mainland.
From ol’ time rock n’roll, to Celtic music to Salsa – you name it, the DJ can play it and make it all sound part of the same groove”. Traci MacInnes, who planned the Boathouse Restaurant Christmas party comments “Raul clearly loves his job, is very accommodating, and flexible plus has a great music selection!”

Vancouverites can also experience interactive entertainment, the latest and hottest trend in mobile disc jockey services, with Rio Crazy!. This type of DJ service gets the crowd directly involved, using games, dance lessons, floor shows, and a variety of icebreaker activities.

“Not everyone at a party wants to dance, but everyone wants to be entertained,” says Raul. “Interaction is all about using entertaining activities to bring people together for an unforgettable experience. Our interactive activities are especially popular with corporate clients who want to make their party unique.”

Reaction from clients has been overwhelmingly positive. Eve Cooney, who booked a party with Rio Crazy! for Vancouver’s International Academy of Martial Arts, said, "they were so enthusiastic and interactive, that people

who normally wouldn’t dance at all were up and even participating in the dancing games.”

Raul explains that each party and special event is customized. I recognize the value of the clients’ events and love working with them to create a wonderful atmosphere and a fun party.” Valerie Peachy sums up her experience with Rio Crazy!: “Absolutely top notch – so great to have someone service oriented, conscientious and so willing to go that extra mile”.
