Raymond Bialek is the President and Founder of Bialek’s Music Ltd. in Rockville, Maryland.  After getting fired from his first two industry jobs in 1975 and 1978 he began his own booking/talent agency eying to take the world by storm.  After 40 years and over 70,000 events later he could not be more grateful to his bosses that fired him and the fuel they gave him. Even after 40 years Raymond Bialek remains an active member of the DMV events community and continues to fearlessly pilot his business from his office on Hungerford Drive.

Bialek’s Music has been the life of the party for 40 years in the Washington Metropolitan area. From bands to DJ’s to soloists to ensembles to specialty groups, they’ve got what it takes to make your event the talk of the town. It’s almost as much fun choosing your entertainment as it is booking it. Stop by their Rockville location and they’ll show you a wealth of talent not often found in one place. You can view their entertainment online, or they’ll arrange for a live presentation. Just rest assured, whether it’s a wedding, a Bar Mitzvah, or your own private theme party, they’ll help you set just the right tone. Strings, Brass, Rock, Bach, Mariachi, Motown, R&B or Alternative … they’ve got it all! If you’re looking for another name or type of entertainment, just ask. They’ll get it … from Caricatures to clowns, or even Jewish Folk. 

Notable accomplishments include:

Bialek’s Music books over 2,000 Weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvah’s and corporate functions per year. In addition, it has affiliations with 20 other agencies from the east coast to the mid-west.
