Our Roots
🎧 Buffaluv Soundz: The Origin Story & Mission 🚀
Hi, I’m Chris Morris, founder of Buffaluv Soundz, proud father of four, and lifelong resident of Hamburg, NY. Music, family, and creating unforgettable experiences are at the heart of everything I do.
🎶 The Beginning: Passion for Music
My love for music started with my dad, who played guitar and shared timeless classics during road trips and family moments. His storytelling through music inspired me to create connections and joy through sound.
🎧 The Napster Era: My DJ Introduction
The Napster era wasn’t just about discovering new music—it was my introduction to DJing and the art of curating the perfect playlist for every moment. With access to an endless library of songs, I built massive playlists tailored to specific circumstances, from snowboarding sessions to family road trips.
🎪 The Festival Awakening
My first music festival, with artists like Snoop Dogg, DJ Shadow, and MSTRKRFT, sparked a fire in me. It was the energy, technology, and shared joy of dancing with thousands that solidified my decision to pursue music.
🎹 Discovering Production & The Club Scene
A friend’s keyboard introduced me to music production, and I became obsessed with layering sounds and creating tracks. But to bring my music live, I had to learn to DJ. I saved up delivering pizzas to buy my first DJ controller. My first gigs were trial by fire—learning the ropes at Whiskey River and Limelight, where I met DJ Devious. He mentored me in the art of mixing vinyl, scratching, and building my style.
💍 Entering Weddings
When I started working weddings, I wasn’t very good at first. I struggled with MCing and lacked the confidence to engage the crowd effectively. However, with guidance from my second and third mentors, I learned to turn these weaknesses into strengths. I developed my ability to connect with guests, improve my microphone presence, and master the nuances of wedding entertainment. Over time, I built a reputation for delivering unforgettable wedding experiences, which became the core of Buffaluv Soundz.
📈 The Rise of Buffaluv Soundz & Pre-COVID Growth
By the time I went off on my own and launched Buffaluv Soundz, I was doing really well. My reputation as a wedding DJ grew, and I was booking multiple events every weekend. I had honed my skills as both a DJ and a business owner, and I was excited to continue growing. Buffaluv Soundz quickly became a standout name in the Western New York wedding scene, and I felt like I was on the right path.
🌟 Growth, Resilience & The COVID Setback
But then, COVID hit. The thriving business I had built came to a screeching halt. Weddings were canceled, bookings dropped dramatically, and I found myself at a crossroads. With four kids, two dogs, and a house to support, I felt defeated. The dream I had worked so hard for seemed out of reach, and I was struggling with feelings of failure as a father.
In that low moment, I watched The Art of Living by Matthew McConaughey, which changed my perspective. I realized that I needed to rebuild—not just the business, but myself. I decided to invest in learning new skills, just as I had honed my DJ skills, to re-ignite Buffaluv Soundz.
🔨 Rebuilding the Buffaluv Soundz Brand
During this time, I focused on rebranding Buffaluv Soundz to reflect the lessons I’d learned and the value we offered to couples. I dove into marketing, graphic design, video editing, and web design, developing the necessary tools to relaunch and communicate our impact more effectively. I also created a new logo and a revamped website, bringing the business to life in a way that resonated with our clients.
As the business grew, I realized it wasn’t just about DJing—it was about telling our story and showcasing the unique, unforgettable experiences we created for each event. Rebuilding the brand was about redefining what it meant to work with Buffaluv Soundz and making sure our couples knew we were fully invested in their celebrations.
👥 Building a New Team & Culture
With the business re-established, I knew the next step was to build a team of talented DJs who shared our vision for excellence. This included letting go of my cousin, who had been with me from the start. It was a tough decision, but it pushed me to focus on creating a team culture that encouraged growth, collaboration, and constant improvement.
Today, Buffaluv Soundz has grown to a team of five DJs and counting. We hold workshops, retreats, and ongoing training to ensure we’re always elevating the experience we offer. The culture we’ve built is focused on empowerment and impact, and every DJ on our team is committed to making every event unforgettable.
🌟 Redefining Wedding Entertainment
Our mission is to make a massive impact on couples and guests by delivering extraordinary celebrations. With a revolutionary approach that combines DJ excellence, comprehensive planning tools, and unmatched customer care, we empower couples to envision and enjoy their perfect day.
🚀 What’s Next?
With guidance from my mentors, Buffaluv Soundz is reaching new heights, serving couples across Buffalo, Rochester, and Chautauqua. I’m also launching The DJ Academy to share what I’ve learned and inspire the next generation of DJs.
Buffaluv Soundz isn’t just about music—it’s about creating joy, connection, and lifelong memories.
