Overview

I am a Professional DJ who plays jazz, rock, funk & Latin keyboards and sings live. I love getting people who will be attending your event, to perform with me on stage. Ask me, if you like, how I organize that!

I have DJ'd/MC’d/and performed live for over 1,000 Weddings, Quinceaneras and Special Events.

I am new to GigSalad but not to the Event Business. I can provide many referrals on past Weddings and Special Events I have performed for. If you see my video demo, it will give you a good idea of what I do.

Slowly, but surely, people who have seen and worked with me will be listing their referrals on this new platform. Thanks!

What to expect

Here's what I can provide that's different.

I am a former High School Music teacher and have toured throughout the world with bands. I love organizing your music for your event by recruiting talent from your guest list.

I have them choose from thousands of songs on an App called Jamzone. Their website is (link hidden) . . . you can download on an iPhone or Android device.

This is Multitrack - NOT Karaoke. So they can easily learn and practice the song ahead of time and perform with me at the event. Just text me for details.

About

My Story

I have performed at over 1,000 Special Events either as a DJ, Musical Entertainer, Photographer or Videographer.

I received my B.S. in Music Education from Grand Canyon University.

I went on to teach High School Music at Washington High School in Phoenix, Az. 

I toured with a Band sang lead and played keyboards and rhythm guitar. We traveled the U.S., to Egypt, Jordan, Isreal, El Salvador and Mexico.  The life lessons I learned from the wonderful people I served with were invaluable and encourage me to this day.

I learned the Wedding and Event Business from Mario and Karen Tambellini in Newport Beach, Ca. where they trusted me to manage the Video and Photography Dept. I also was a performer and trained the DJ's for the company. The company is called (link hidden) and they are still a prosperous business in Newport Beach. If you want to know about me just ask for Karen and she will tell you. She is also great at helping you plan for your big day!

In 1997 I met my beautiful wife, Ofelia in Tijuana, Mexico and we were married December 26, 1997.  She worked with me at the Event Consultants and was a fabulous videographer and Video Editor.  In December of 1999 we moved to the Special Occasions Bridal Mall in Oxnard, Ca. and started our own DJ, Live Musis, Video and later on Photography business.  It was called:

Always the Best
Photography . Video . DJ 
Search Facebook for Always the Best Photograhy Video and DJ

The business thrived until 2015 when I closed it to be with Ofelia and our family in Tijuana, Mexico.  My wonderful wife passed on in Oct. of 2018 and because of her influence on my life I am in pursuit of using my musical talents as a therapy for folks that have gone thru a loss in their life. I want to use music to encourage people to “Let Go” , party and bring out their playful side!

Since I have a Sentri Pass, I have no issues in traveling to San Diego (I do it at least 4 times a week) and parts North and Inland.

Please contact <a href="https://www.gigsalad.com/external/redirect/aHR0cDovL0dpZ1NhbGFkLmNvbQ%3D%3D">GigSalad.com</a> if you are interested in booking myself as a DJ or Live Musician for your special event.  I can also bring a team of other musicians, DJ’s, Design Lighters, Photographers (Drone included) Video and other services for your wedding or event.

Additional booking notes

For small groups up to 75 I can bring just my busking system. If you want a huge system for up to 2,000, I will team with another DJ and crew.

I can also expand to a full band and provide Photography, Video and Design Lighting for your event. Text me for a package price.
