our story and our crew

Founded in 2009 by Jason Shell, Creative Entertainment has come a long way from its beginnings as DJShell.com. When Jason first started out, his passion for music and people drove him to start a side business as a DJ, and gave him the impetus to turn hard work and inspiration into to a booming side business.

Through the 2010’s, Jason started training other DJs to do what he did because the demand grew so great.  Jason was averaging around 85 events each year. The demand grew enough to where Jason decided to form Creative Entertainment. It operates with excellence with several DJS, a full time LLC manager, and a full time office administrator.

Creative Entertainment, founded in 2009, has come along way since it first started as DJShell.com. Jason, sole owner of DJShell.com decided to partner with another event specialist, Ryan in 2021.  Creative Entertainment has served hundreds of different brides with great service.

Creative Entertainment was created due to the lack of good entertainment around Alabama.  We treat each event as if it is our own.  We love our clients and want to ensure you have a great experience from start to finish.

Blake "DJ Shrimp & Grits"

Blake began his DJ career 5 years ago after concluding his on air DJ duties at 91.1 WMSV in Starkville, MS during his time there at Mississippi State University. A friend assumed that the on air disc jockey world and the wedding DJ world were the same, so he was asked to DJ their wedding. Even though those worlds aren’t exactly the same, Blake thoroughly enjoyed and thrived in the wedding DJ scene. Blake hasn’t looked back, DJing multiple weddings and events since then. Blake is married to his wife Jen and they have a dog named Koda.

Blake‘s most unforgettable gig memory was getting the bride’s grandma out to the dance floor first at a Starkville wedding. It was an afternoon reception at a brightly lit venue, and once the music started she made her way out to the dance floor after a small nudge from me opening up the dance floor. The bridal party followed and kept the energy up for the rest of the reception.

Blake is passionate about being the soundtrack to a couple’s big day. Music can make a day or event so much more special and it is his joy to help create that atmosphere for the couple and all the attendees.
