The audience can expect songs they will love that they didn't even know they loved. From the classics to modern hits, I keep the ball rolling from jumpers, sing alongs, head bops, to slow dances, and back up to the exciting songs.

I was born into a musical family and growing up we always had music moving through our home whether it was being listened to through the speakers, or being played through the amps. We all learned the piano to start off with but it was evident as a kid that I was mainly attached to the rhythm aspect of piano and quickly switched over to drums. I started drumming professionally when I was 13 and after I picked up gig, after show, after performance, it seemed that I would be doing this for a long time, (if not the rest of my life). Half a lifetime later I teach music, I produce, I drum for church, a country band, a jazz band, but most unexpectedly I DJ for places all over!

I was never interested in becoming a DJ until I saw how much fun it was firsthand and the amazing new combinations you can come up with the melody from one song and mixing brand new vocals over it! Literally INFINITE new combinations can be made! I took the knowledge I had from my home studio production class in college and the free time I gained from being in lockdown in 2020 and made my first EDM album, “Sick Day”. It was way faster to make an EDM song from just my laptop rather than having to record one of my singer-songwriter songs from real instruments.

Since I made EDM, I figured I needed to showcase my songs somewhere but nobody had open venues yet. So I mainly started to play at house parties to get my start. But like a wildfire it spread fast from me starting out playing a seedy basement to just a handful of friends to me playing at events with 1,000 people in the crowd. But either way I was always comfortable and happy to do either as long as I got to do my passion.

Of course I know you’re here for deciding a wedding/event DJ, so let me expand on those types of events I’ve done. First of all I’d like to say CONGRATULATIONS on making it this far into your engagement and are officially planning out your wedding! Weddings are the type of events that I really care about doing and probably put the most effort into in terms of gigs. I want to get EVERY detail correct, down to the theme and color. Not only because it’s your once in a lifetime day to showcase your love to the entire world, but because you genuinely deserve the best. I have gone to the lengths of risking my gear being in sand for a beach wedding, to dressing up as Gandalf for someone’s Lord of the Rings themed wedding. And there’s no further length I’ll go then to make someone happy on their wedding day!

If you're here for an event DJ, I would just like to say that I can't wait to boost the mood to whatever it is we'll be there celebrating! I've done Graduation parties, backed up rappers to be their MC, 4th of July parties, restaurant grand openings, and many many more!

I hope that I can be accommodating to anything you might need for your special occasion.

EQUIPMENT
I will need two different outlets to plug into. I've tried to use one outlet before while playing at a festival, and my subwoofers started draining too much power and the music started to phase in and out.

TRAVEL
If I have to travel a further distance I will include the cost in my quote. You are not just paying for my gear, nor my many years of experience, but my travel expenses as well.
