Paul "Pivot Man" Spaulding
e-mail: Bchfeverdj@aol.com
Paul is a long time resident of Jacksonville, having moved here
in 1977, after graduating from Georgia Southern University. He was born at
Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, moving around the globe with his family,
until his dad retired from the Army in 1966.
Paul got his first taste of deejaying at the age of 14 while living in Germany.
He would help spin the platters for the local American Youth Association Teen Club.
Ever since then, music has been a big part of his life.
While in high school and in his early college years, he worked with several local bands
in the Brunswick, Georgia area. His interest in music continued to grow, developing quite an ear for good, solid dance tunes.
Paul has been actively dancing since his teen years in Germany and high school days in Brunswick, Ga.
He stepped back into the deejay booth several years ago, when the local shag club
was forced to find another dance location.
His love for music and the desire to share this with others led
him to start Beach Fever Music, Mobile DJ Service. Paul has played
for several of the local dance clubs and continues to play at some
of the local lounges in the area and out of state.
Paul is a member of the
National Association of Rhythm and Blues D.J.'s. When he is not spinning
the tunes or working on a new dance step, he can be found in his
garage doing some woodworking or on the road riding his bicycle.
