Next Level Entertainment was officially established in 2007, building on founder Ray Berrios’ experience providing musical entertainment since 1987. That history allows us to combine decades of event experience with modern music, technology, and production.

DJ Rayza, also known as Ray Berrios, is the founder of Next Level Entertainment. Born and raised in the Bronx, he developed his craft through house parties, clubs, live events, mixtapes, and commercial radio. He has been featured in DJ Times magazine and has performed multiple mix shows on 96.1 Kiss FM.

Yes. DJ Rayza is bilingual in English and Spanish and can incorporate Spanish-language music and announcements when requested. This is especially valuable for multicultural celebrations and events with guests from different backgrounds.

Next Level Entertainment is based in New York’s Hudson Valley and serves events throughout Dutchess County, the surrounding Hudson Valley, the Capital Region, New York City, Long Island, and other locations throughout the Tri-State Area. Travel availability depends on the event date, location, and production requirements.

We provide entertainment and production services for weddings, Sweet 16s, birthday celebrations, school events, corporate functions, public events, and other special occasions. Each event is approached according to its audience, purpose, venue, and desired atmosphere.

Our style is energetic, polished, and responsive to the crowd. We specialize in live, open-format mixing that allows us to move naturally between genres and generations while maintaining the atmosphere envisioned by the client.

We combine experienced DJs and MCs, personalized planning, professional presentation, and modern production services. Rather than approaching every event the same way, we adapt the music, pacing, announcements, and equipment to the client, venue, audience, and occasion.

Yes. Next Level Entertainment is professionally insured, and certificates of insurance can be provided when required by a venue, organization, school, or event coordinator.

Experienced entertainment involves more than playing music. It requires preparation, crowd awareness, timeline coordination, clear announcements, professional equipment, technical problem-solving, and the ability to respond calmly when plans change. Our experience helps us manage those details while keeping the event enjoyable for you and your guests.
