Joyful
Sounds was started in 1991 by John Scott and his bride-to-be,
Tere (Wells) Scott. It originated
through lots of prayer, as a result of John feeling that
he could no longer play some of the music he was often
requested to play when working at another D.J. service.
As John explains it, “I really had no intention
of starting my own service - I never thought of it. I
liked the company I worked for and the people there,
but as I grew in the Lord, I felt worse and worse about
having to play dirty/cynical/obsessive lyric songs. I
had stopped playing as a professional musician years
before because of the same reasons. I didn’t want
any part of projecting the idea that these things were
o.k. and it grieved me to see some of the things that
often went on at wedding receptions. I was very excited
about contemporary Christian music even then (it’s
even better now!) and I wanted to do something to glorify
Jesus, serve Christians and show people that Christians
can have fun - in a better way! I was leaning towards
pursuing a career as a Christian musician, but I felt
the Lord’s leading towards Joyful Sounds. The idea
for Joyful Sounds came totally out of prayer and I prayed
intensely about every aspect of this company, the name,
the mission, the logo, how to do a wedding reception
in a Godly manner, etc.”
As John and Tere were planning their own July 1992 wedding,
they were also planning and praying about Joyful Sounds.
Says John, “it was a very intense and yet fun time
of our lives.” John stepped out in faith and left
the D.J. Service he had been with. This was a hard decision,
and he had to work a full-time job for awhile before
Joyful Sounds took off.
