The IMpact of Hosting Music Bingo with Jindo
“Adding music bingo to my DJ service has been huge! In the last year, I've had a ridiculous 50X return on my investment. I’ve done hundreds of shows for thousands of players doing both live music bingo events and virtual music bingo events.”
INTRODUCING SOULFUL SOUNDER: MOBILE DJ AND PROFESSIONAL MUSIC BINGO HOST
I am a mobile DJ located in Central Minnesota whose focus is on weddings, business parties, and community events. I’ve been in the industry for 20+ years and in nearly every role - from performer to planner to partier.
Although in-person shows are now the focus of my music bingo business. I am still able to use Jindo virtually for college and corporate shows. As well as building my following with virtual music bingo events online, such as the #WeJamWednesday virtual music bingo event.
Why Add Jindo Music Bingo as a Service?
I added Jindo to my DJ services in 2020 when my business was shut down in response to COVID-19. Unable to do any type of live event as a mobile DJ, I was able to set up shows virtually using the power of Jindo and Zoom. As the lockdowns and restrictions were lifted, I began to look for ways to increase my income during the fall and winter months when the wedding season is slow here in Minnesota.
HOW DID YOU BOOK SHOWS USING JINDO’S MUSIC BINGO SERVICE?
I booked most of my shows through barnstorming, my professional network, and word of mouth. After the first few successful shows, the referrals started coming in and led to more and more opportunities.
I got my first official Jindo show lead through Bark.com. The Elk River Legion was looking for a DJ, and I proposed that they try something different than just a regular old DJ - and give Music bingo a shot. Lisa, the manager, was all about it.
We began doing a monthly show on the last Friday or Saturday of the month. With Jindo, I brought a fun, fresh energy into the Elk River Legion that delighted the regulars and attracted new people. Adding a solid payday to my calendar in the process.
That first connection at the Elk River Legion has led to many more. I went from 1 show per month to 15+ during peak season. Making over $2500/month at nearly $100/hour. These shows pay well and they are super fun!
“The American Legion Post 112 in Elk River, MN was looking for a fun energetic DJ that would keep our customers happy and stay longer through the night. We found Soulful Sounder and are more than happy with his experience! Added bonus he does Jindo which is Music Bingo, and the customers absolutely love it! We give out small prizes and then a gift card on the last game.
We have Soulful Sounder every other Friday and we get calls inquiring when he will be back. Josh does an amazing job, and we hope to have him in our establishment long term and consider Soulful Sounder DJ/Jindo a part of our Legion Family!”

HOW HAVE YOUR MUSIC BINGO EVENTS EVOLVED?
In the process, I learned how to put on great virtual shows in Zoom and other streaming platforms which provided excellent value for corporate clients and the community that follows me. I learned how to structure shows to fill the time properly and I learned how to host and engage an audience utilizing Jindo as the main tool.
I developed tools to manage my shows, promote my music bingo shows, and take payments to make sure that everything was organized and handled professionally.
