“Talent and energy.” the DJ Will Softy story

Will’s obsession with music and all things sound began as a young lad in the late 1960’s when he used to raid his parents vinyl collection every chance he got. Since then his four decade long career has developed an enthusiastic and far reaching following for his happy-go-lucky, eclectic sets. In recent years, he has solidified his position as Ireland’s favourite world music DJ and sound-system provider under his One World Sounds umbrella, which provides sound solutions for Ireland’s biggest festivals and events.

Will’s career has brought him to the point of being considered one of Ireland’s top eclectic DJs through his love of music and thirst to find more new and exciting genres. With his encyclopedic knowledge of music from the last 70 years of recorded music history, Will has come to love adapting his huge variety of musical tastes for all audiences performing at weddings, birthdays, communions, festivals and all moments of celebration. His passion for world music is not unfounded and has culminated with a headline slot at the St Patrick’s Day Treasure Beach festival in Jamaica.

“Tallann agus fuinneamh.”
– Scéal DJ Will Softly

DJ agus innealtóir fuaime is ea Will Softly atá lonnaithe i nGaillimh. Tá breis agus dhá scór bliain ceirde caite aige i dtionscal an cheoil, agus sa tréimhse sin tá buíon fonnmhar de lucht leanta bailithe aige mar gheall ar na seiteanna aigeanta agus taitneamhacha a bhíonn aige, bunaithe ar fhuaimeanna den scoth ón gceol atá taifeadta le 70 bliain anuas.

Mar gheall ar an bpaisean atá ag Will do gach saghas seánra ceoil, is iomaí seisiún atá faighte aige mar phríomhoirfideach ag féilte móra náisiúnta in Éirinn lena n-áirítear Body and Soul, Electric Picnic, Forbidden Fruit, Cáirde Sligo, National Circus Festival, Féile Ceol Tíre Dhúlainn, Féile Ceol Tíre Chill Áirne, Féilte Pure Magic i mBaile Átha Cliath agus Acaill. Lena chois sin, tá ceol casta aige ina lán de na clubanna móra ar fud na hÉireann.

Tá clú den scoth bainte amach ag Will mar cheann de na daoine is ildánaí sa tír. Ag tarraingt as taithí na mblianta agus as an eolas cuimsitheach atá aige ar an gceol, tá sé in ann oibriú in oiriúint d’aon saghas urlár damhsa.

I ngach ceann dá chuid áirithintí DJ, baineann sé úsáid as an gCóras Fuaime Funktion One, mar a bhíonn i
gcuid mhór de na clubanna is cáiliúla ar fud an domhain. Lena chois sin, tá sé in ann feidhm a bhaint as córas fuaime nua den scoth d’ócáidí ar an iargúil – the Soundbok – nuair nach mbíonn aon chumhacht príomhlíonra ar fáil.

Mar gheall ar an eolas atá aige mar innealtóir ar na córais sin, beidh caighdeán na fuaime thar barr.
Cinnteoidh Will go mbeidh pointeáilteacht agus pleanáil cháiréiseach ar fáil do gach cliant, agus go mbeidh
ócáid lúcháireach ag gach duine a bheidh i láthair.
