Joe Licata joined DJ Express when he was a 16 year-old sophomore
in High School, and graduated from Seton Hall University with a B.A. in
Political Science. Joe has grown from a novice assistant to owner Joe Zisa, to
an articulate and energetic MC and advanced DJ, which makes him vital to the
success of DJ Express Entertainment. Throughout his youth Joe was constantly
exposed to music. His father Frank Licata (aka Franché Coma) was the original
lead guitar player for the ground breaking punk rock band, The Misfits. Joe’s
father opened his ears to the sounds of all types of music from Jazz, to Rhythm
and Blues, to Disco, to Motown, and Rock and Roll. This great musical
foundation provided the drive and resources for Joe to develop into the great
asset that he is today to DJ Express Entertainment. Throughout his time at DJ
Express Joe has developed a tremendous knowledge of various musical genres by
working with and learn from owner Joe Zisa. Joe’s experience in music includes
oldies, Motown, disco, rock and roll, mainstream radio, hip-hop,
regge/reggaeton, club, Italian, and Latin. His experience in music and his
lively personality as an MC, contributes to his likeability among employees and
clients. He knows what to play and when to play it. Simply said, he knows how
to get the crowd going. Joe wishes to continue contributing towards the success
of DJ Express. He currently sits on the Bergen County Democratic Committee and
currently is President of the Board of Education in the Borough of
Lodi. In his future are Law school and the possibility to hold
public office at the local level, county level, state level, and even national
level. Joe’s desire and life goal is to make people happy by influencing their lives
in any way he can. DJ Express has been a stepping stone for Joe’s service
oriented life and has been a great medium for him to make people happy.
