Music has a remarkable way of bringing people together. It creates memories, celebrates milestones, and connects generations through rhythm and shared experiences.
This week, The Excel Project Spotlight proudly recognizes John N. Jones, professionally known as DJ Viper, founder of Godfather Sounds, whose decades-long journey in entertainment has transformed celebrations into unforgettable experiences.
DJ Viper a.k.a Brother John Jones
Originally from Belize City, Central America, John moved to Los Angeles, California, in 1990, where his passion for music quickly evolved into a thriving career. Just one year later, he and a close group of friends launched Explosion Crew, beginning with cassette tapes before advancing through Gemini turntables, Technics 1200s, and today's industry-leading Pioneer and Serato systems. What started as a passion soon became a profession built on excellence, versatility, and a genuine love for bringing joy to others.
Over the years, DJ Viper and his team have entertained audiences at more than 1,000 events, including weddings, birthday celebrations, baby showers, corporate functions, school events, concerts, private parties, and nightclubs throughout Los Angeles, Hollywood, and Las Vegas. His reputation was built not only on exceptional mixing and sound quality but also on professionalism, reliability, and an ability to read every audience.
In 2006, John relocated to New York, where he chose to dedicate several years to raising his family. Although he stepped away from the music scene for nearly a decade, his passion never faded. The rhythm, energy, and excitement of creating memorable experiences eventually called him back.
Today, DJ Viper has returned stronger than ever, reconnecting with DJ Bantan and an international network of talented selectors and DJs through Godfather Sounds. Headquartered in Westchester County, with roots extending to Los Angeles and Belize City, Godfather Sounds continues to expand its reach locally and internationally.
Known for concert-quality sound, professional presentation, and exceptional customer service, Godfather Sounds entertains virtually every occasion. Whether celebrating a wedding, hosting a corporate gala, organizing a community festival, or planning a church event, clients benefit from an extensive musical catalog featuring Reggae, Dancehall, Soca, R&B, Hip-Hop, Gospel, Jazz, Punta, Country, Oldies, Easy Listening, and more.
More than simply playing music, DJ Viper creates experiences that bring families, friends, organizations, and communities together. Every event becomes an opportunity to celebrate culture, strengthen relationships, and create lasting memories.
At Women & Men of Excellence Outreach Ministries (WAMOE) and The Excel Project, we recognize that entrepreneurs like DJ Viper contribute to more than entertainment—they contribute to the local economy, support community events, inspire aspiring creatives, and demonstrate how passion can become purpose-driven entrepreneurship.
Businesses like Godfather Sounds help strengthen Westchester County's growing network of creative professionals while showcasing the diverse talent that makes our communities vibrant and connected. By highlighting local entrepreneurs through The Excel Project Spotlight, we hope to encourage collaboration between businesses, nonprofits, churches, educators, government leaders, and community organizations working together to build stronger communities.
DJ Viper's story reminds us that success is rarely a straight path. It is built through perseverance, continuous learning, dedication to family, and a willingness to begin again when purpose calls. His journey from Belize to Los Angeles and now Westchester County demonstrates how passion, resilience, and service can create opportunities that impact thousands of lives.
As Godfather Sounds continues to grow its international presence, The Excel Project proudly celebrates John N. Jones for his commitment to excellence and for using music to unite communities across cultures and generations.
