As President of Sounds Abound, I am one of the luckiest men alive! With musical entertainment, I am able to do what I love to do the most for my fulltime career.

Entertainment has been a big part of my life since I sang my first solo in church when I was 5 years old. I continued as a musician and vocalist in the 60's, 70's and 80's for bands around the Chicagoland area. In 1990, I founded Sounds Abound Entertainment and began providing a quality, Interactive Disc Jockey Service that has maintained a great reputation and following. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than being able to make a difference in the success of an important event in someone's life. The look of joy I see in the eyes of all ages as a result of great musical entertainment is the best reward of all.

My professional and comfortable interactive MC style makes me a great match for all ages and types of events. I work hard to customize my show to fit exactly what my client and audience wants to see and hear. Please consider me for your next party. I guarantee it will be a night to remember!

Connie & Jason Ewing - June 14, 2008

"What a wonderful job Ken did. We were told he was the best in the business and he was. He made sure that people were on the dance floor at all times. He was also willing to change things around as far as what was happening during dinner. We had a great time with him!"

Christine & Christopher Guare - December 22, 2007

"Ken was excellent. Thank you so much for everything!! The guests loved the music and are still talking about our wedding!! We greatly appreciate the personal attention you gave us! Thanks."

Claire & Mike Petricca - November 24, 2007

"We knew what to expect with Ken and he did not disappoint. He had the dance floor going the whole night and the music and his interaction were perfect. I highly recommend Sounds Abound to anyone planning a wedding."

Lisa & Jimmy Shemroske - November 3, 2007

"Ken, Thank you so much. Everything was excellent and the BRIDE stayed on the dancefloor all night as most of the guests seem to do. Mission accomplished!"

Michelle & Jason LeMaistre - September 1, 2007

"Ken was really great. We felt so confident from the beginning and he did a fantastic job. The dance floor was always full, and we had so much fun! He really kept the night in order! The rest of the staff at Sounds Abound were also very helpful anytime we needed anything, I must have emailed JoAnn at least 10 times...she was so great! Thanks for everything!!"

Tim Jordan
Naperville Public Safety - St. Baldrick's Committee - March 2, 2007

"Sounds Abound provided entertainment and Ken was the DJ for our event for the third year and continued in the pattern of excellence he has consistently demonstrated. Ken, thank you for your outstanding performance - not only did you involve the crowd in activities, but you kept the music running and varied. I was impressed with your professionalism, and the way that you seemed to have just the right sound, song, or effect at your fingertips...no advance warning of what was coming and you were right on cue! Thanks again for your continued support of our event. I am convinced that without your visible/audible and behind the scenes contributions, our event would not have progressed as smoothly, nor been as successful as it was!"

Kristen & Mark DeBlock - July 22, 2006

"Ken was wonderful! Not only did he keep the dance floor packed all night but when the night was almost over we chose to extend the reception for another hour because no one wanted to leave! I know we have Ken to thank for that and he was so cooperative when we asked him to keep the party going. Thanks!!!"

Roxanne & John Nalbandian - May 28, 2006

"Ken and his associate were wonderful. They had the guests up and dancing for the whole evening. As mother of the bride and host of this wedding reception I deinitely feel we got our moneys worth and more. Thanks Ken."

Jeanne & Craig Jock - December 10, 2005

"We were so pleased with Ken and Kyle. Ken asked us every question possible to make sure everything went smoothly. Ken played many songs from our songlist, and we all had a great time. Craig and I had a blast, and my guests are still talking about what fun they had. And, the video montage was excellent! I would recommend Sounds Abound to everyone!"

Nancy & Michael Celeski (Parents of the Bride)
Celeski / Klinger Wedding - April 23, 2005

"Ken Overbey was the DJ at my daughter's wedding. He and his assistant, and the sound were terrific. He handled the entire evening so professionally, and kept the dance floor hopping all night long. He started out with light music during dinner. He was a wonderful emcee during the toasts and the first dances, and from there it just kept getting better. He knew when to speed things up, when to slow them down, and when to emcee without taking the spotlight away from the bride and groom. Ken completely handled the entertainment...all the way to the end when Ken played Billy Joel's Piano Man--he had the crowed gather around the bride and groom and they began to sing and sway while the groom literally swept the bride off her feet. It was breathtaking. The best compliment, though, was a comment from an 80+ year old guest who said he has not danced at a wedding in 24 years, but he just had to get up and dance that night. Now, that says it all...We were very, very pleased with Sounds Abound and Ken Overbey and his assistant, and will recommend them to everybody in the future. Thanks, Ken, for making our party such a success. How can you improve perfection?"
