The Host

Soulfulsounder is a veteran mobile DJ service based in Central Minnesota with over 20 years of experience across weddings, corporate functions, and community events.

The Challenge: Beating the Wedding Slump

Like most mobile DJs, Soulfulsounder faced predictable seasonal slumps; especially during harsh Minnesota winters when weekend wedding bookings dried up. Relying solely on one-off weekend gigs made income unpredictable during the off-season.

The Solution: Frictionless Music Bingo

To fill open calendar slots, Soulfulsounder introduced Jindo Music Bingo. Combining live DJ energy with 100% smartphone gameplay turned standard venue nights into interactive game shows.

Why Jindo Outperformed Traditional Pub Trivia:

  • Zero Paper Chaos: No printing cards, buying daubers, or hand-grading paper sheets.

  • Jam Deck™ Dashboard: Automated playlist management and instant winner checks allowed the host to focus on crowd control, banter, and music energy.

  • Hybrid Flexibility: Seamlessly runs live in crowded bars or virtually over Zoom for corporate clients and campuses.

The Result: From 1 Show a Month to 15+ Recurring shows

Starting with a single residency at the Elk River American Legion, word quickly spread through venue referrals. Within months, Soulfulsounder turned one weekly night into a full monthly calendar:

  • $2,500+ Monthly Recurring Income: Generated predictable baseline revenue at an average rate of $100/hour.

  • 50x Return on Investment: Achieved massive software ROI in the first year alone.

  • Global & Multi-Venue Reach: Expanded beyond local bars into corporate team building (US Bank, Sodexo), college campuses (CCSLA), and international virtual events spanning 24+ countries.
