  Scott E Jones
  
  President & DJ
  
  Scott started working with Jerry Bruno in 2000, initially as one of three Jerry Bruno DJs. He joined the in-office staff in 2001 and, with a lot of hard work and dedication, Scott and Jerry grew the office to become one of Cleveland’s most respected music providers for weddings and events.
  
  As their relationship grew within Jerry Bruno Productions, so did their popularity. The Orchestra and DJ Scott E. Jones quickly became two of the area’s top entertainment options. In 2010, Scott took over full operations and became the President of Jerry Bruno Productions, transitioning into Cleveland Music Group over the next four years. He is also still the most requested of our many professional DJs.
  
  Scott is in the office Monday – Friday (9:30am – 5:30pm). Entertainment consultations are available by appointment only. Please call: 216-986-1808.

  Kim Adamo
  
  Office Manager
  Kim is the office manager and face behind the voice you hear when you call the office. Kim joined the team part time in 2004 after leaving a career in the dental field to raise her three beautiful children.
  Kim and her husband John continue to reside in Kim’s hometown of Valley View, where they can be found supporting one of the many teams or clubs that their children belong to.
  When summer comes, there is nothing Kim’s family enjoys more than traveling to different towns and swimming at different beaches along the East Coast. Maybe some day a home on the shore for the Adamos?

  Eric Smith
  
  AKA The Bearded DJ - Eric joined the CLE Music Group sales office in 2017 and as a part of the talent roster in 2011 as a DJ. He spent two years as an apprentice to Scott Jones before becoming a lead DJ. His approach-ability, sense of humor, and knack for letting the music speak for itself along with heavy involvement in Cleveland's social media community (@thebeardeddj) all contributed to him becoming one of the industry's most requested wedding DJs.
  Eric holds a Bachelor's degree in Business Management from Mercyhurst University. His relationship management background in the corporate and start-up worlds here in Cleveland have proven to translate very well into the events industry. He is also a REALTOR on Ohio's #1 real estate team! One thing is certain, Eric has dedicated his professional life to making his clients' lives happier and run as smoothly as possible no matter the situation and he is excited to be focusing that energy into weddings and events full time.
  When he's not out DJing or in the office, he spends most of his time with his wife and their new baby boy at home in Lakewood or out and about enjoying all the awesome things to do in Cleveland. Aside from his family and music, he enjoys reality tv, podcasts, all the cheese and coffee, beard maintenance, and the Oxford comma.

  Lighting & Photobooth Technician
  
  Katrina has a Bachelor's degree in Technical Theatre from Cleveland State University. During her time there, she gained experience in stage managing, lighting design, scenic painting, and general technician work. Working with theaters in the area was a great experience because Cleveland has the second largest theatre district in the country - second only to New York City.
  Katrina began working with Cleveland Music Group in 2016. She is a jack of all trades but specializes in lighting design and photobooth operation. When not at events, Katrina enjoys spending time with her friends, crafting and creating art projects, and walking her cat.
