Gordon Thorn

Absolute Entertainment DJ Gordon ThornGordon Thorn – My musical background came from my parents.  I can remember my father inviting some of his solders over to listen to music on his reel to reel.  My mother playing the song of the week … while we were doing our chores.  Growing up around music made me want to pursue it even further, so I joined the school band and played the saxophone, formed groups, and even sang in the choir.  With this profound knowledge and love I began to spin records.  I’ve played at clubs, schools, social events, private events and weddings. There isn’t an artist or genre I haven’t played or listened too!

Ken Rochon

Absolute Entertainment DJ Ken RochonAfter 28 years as an entrepreneur, Ken Rochon is just getting started…

It was always a dream of his to have music be the way he lives. After learning he didn’t have the talent to play an instrument, he started studying the craft of being a deejay. Little did he know back in 1982, that it would define and shape his life. He has currently been to about 75 countries around the world in hopes of learning more about their culture, language and most important to him, their music. His collection of world music is one of his prized possessions, and one that he will gladly share with any one having an event that wants to incorporate practically any cultural style into the mix of music available.

Today, he is a published author; a world traveler; a mixologist of world music for his company AbsoluteEntertainment.com; co-host of Team Radio Baltimore; co-star of the brand-new local reality show “Good Fellas of Baltimore”; and the visionary builder and co-founder of PerfectNetworker.com and the budding online leadership empire PerfectWorldNetwork.com.

His love of language has taken him around the world only to find a real need for people to learn how simple it is to connect when you understand the basics of communication. He experienced first hand the power of language by using simple expressions and a smile to engage and form friendships. The “Making Friends Around the World” book is a linguistic approach to teaching kids how to interact through an understanding of cultural differences and simple expressions that allow a bond of a smile to be created.

Influential Artists: 2Pac, Air, Alizee, Amr Diab, Beatles, Carla Bruni, Charles Aznavour, Coldplay, Daddy Yankee, Dead Can Dance, Depeche Mode, Doors, ELO, Erasure, Gypsy Kings, Keane, Manu Chao, Michael Bublé, Michael Jackson, Moby, Pitbull, Thievery Corporation, Tiésto, U2, Wisin & Yandel and Van Morrison.

Peter Nictas

Absolute Entertainment DJ Peter NictasPeter Nictas (DJ Nixtas) has been a Greek/American DJ for over 10 years.  From a young age his affinity towards music was well established.  He started taking piano lessons in grade school and attributes his intensive study of classical music on the piano as the foundation to his musical career.  He picked up percussion in his high school years as well as finding a love for the dramatic arts.  That was the groundwork for exercising his talent in entertainment.  He always toyed with the idea of DJing, putting mix tapes together and finding songs that match up in tempo and rhythm.  He picked up the headphones in his late teens and spending lots of his time in different clubs, he became classically trained in the art of beat mixing, tempo control, and proper song selection through a set.  Now, he has taken all his hard work and experience, and branched out doing private parties – as large as Greek weddings to simple birthday parties.  His expertise in Greek and American music makes him a prime candidate for coordinating an event that will cater to both sides of the family.  His love for music shines in every performance and he will surely bring life to any event, large or small.

Influential Artists/Genres: House, Progressive, Trance, Punk, Ska, Swing; Rihanna, Katy Perry, Pitbull, The Doors, Beatles, Rat Pack.
