DJ Sean J

With over a decade of DJing in both high-end private events and clubs every weekend, here's what you can always expect from me:

- Professional & prompt communication leading up to your event, and on site with all clients, guests & vendors. The success of an event is largely built around having a great team of professionals working together to keep your guests enjoying the party.

- Clean equipment & clutter free setup. Your photographer shouldn't have to edit out messy DJ equipment later.

- Smooth beat matching & transitions, built off of years DJing in nightclubs & casinos. I've cut my teeth in rooms that only skillful nightlife DJs can sustain.

- Professional emceeing, that keeps the event flowing and without any unnecessary "hype-man" antics. The music should do most of the talking, and I take pride in my ability to comfortably talk on the microphone without taking the spotlight.

- No cheesy line dances, games, jokes, or other traditional "schtick" made popular by previous generations of wedding DJs. The only exception to this is when explicitly requested by the client.

Sean J's love for music and technology along with his years of experience have brought him success and accolades from peers and audiences alike. Taking the soul of Kaytranada, the musicality of DJ Jazzy Jeff and energy of ENFERNO, Sean J brings turntablist skill and drum machine musicianship to the stage. Sean J strives to find new ways to push boundaries between various genres, keeping the dance floor moving, and change perceptions on what to expect out of a skilled DJ.

Sean J has built a following full of dancers and music lovers faithful to his unique blend of various styles of music. Always exploring cutting edge DJ tech to keep his sets engaging and to push the limits of the DJ culture, Sean J has partnered with the D.C. area's nationally respected instructors at the Beat Refinery to share his knowledge of DJing and Music Production with the next generation of performers.

For events where I am to provide all of my essential performance equipment, I will simply need a dressed 6-foot table to place my equipment on, and a standard 15-amp AC grounded power outlet within 30 feet to plug all of my equipment in.
