Overview

Hello!
My name is Ganymede (gan-uh-meed), or just Gigi for short. I am Asheville's 7 ft. Sensation- the southeast's ultimate drag queen DJ with looks and personality to boot! If you're looking for a show stopper for your next event, look no further.

I am the queen of the party! You can book me to DJ at your next event, host karaoke, or maybe just show up to break the ice and make a splash. You can even book me to produce and host your own private drag show, comprised of Asheville's most jaw-dropping drag performers.

Barry/Ganymede always shows up on time, provides a first class outside of the box experience that wows guests while simultaneously making EVERYONE feel comfortable. They are a true first class act who is an amazing collaborator. Will work with them over and over again.

The best Choice!!!

I hiredGigi to do an event for me as the DJ; He was the most professional person I have worked with. His mastery of good party music is unparalleled. He seemed to know exactly what I wanted. He will add a lot to your event, whether it be decorative, quality music, or his festive outfits! Don't miss this opportunity if you have it.

What to expect

I love making a BIG impression. When it comes to my drag persona, my specialty lies in my ability to create over-the-top costumes that would wow any crowd. I'm known for huge, dazzling headpieces and wigs that complement my custom couture- I truly enjoy becoming a glamorous spectacle. I could even sew a custom look to fit the theme of your event.

Through my years of experience DJing high-ticket events and wedding receptions, I always strive for ultimate professionalism and attention to detail in every instance. I think clear communication and collaboration with event planners is key to any successful event- in my work, I strive to give my best and nothing less. I'm a Virgo!

Simply put, I love entertaining crowds of all kinds. Past venues include The Grove Park Inn, The Peel, Asheville Music Hall, Biltmore, The Grove Arcade, New Belgium Brewing, Asheville Beauty Academy, The Blue Ridge Pride Festival in Downtown Asheville, and many more!

About

Ganymede knows how to impress and inspire, ensuring that every performance is a celebration of music, glamour, and pure fun.

Ganymede's unforgettable costume creations are the stuff of legend among Asheville, NC and beyond. Renowned not only for her larger-than-life persona, she takes it further, bringing fantasy and glamour to the dance floor as the southeast's ultimate drag queen DJ.

Ganymede's "hostess with the mostess" pedigree extends throughout her hometown, hosting a multitude of events at local venues including Banks Ave., Asheville Beauty Academy, The Orange Peel, and Asheville Music Hall. Her sustaining presence has made Ganymede something of a cult classic within Asheville's nightlife scene.

As a DJ, I am the queen of creating the perfect vibe for any crowd. With an unparalleled mix of fierce energy and professional mixing skills, I love to blend music across all genres and eras, ensuring the dance floor packs and the party pops. Whether it's a high-energy club night, a glamorous gala, or a wedding reception, my greatest skill as a DJ is curating custom playlists that suit each event perfectly.

Additional booking notes

Technical aspects of my DJ/karaoke services depend on the event type and venue. Please feel free to reach out regarding any sound specifications regarding your event.

I have a full PA system, complete with speakers, mics, DJ controllers, as well as a mobile karaoke setup. Don't let the glamour fool you- I am a bonafide sound tech and can set up a DJ booth almost anywhere!

Set list

As a DJ, my set list is totally dependent on the type of event. I am excellent at fleshing out an entire night of music to fit a certain vibe.

My favorite genres of music to play include, in no particular order:
- 80's Pop/New wave classics like Whitney Houston, Blondie, Depeche Mode, and Prince
- Top 40 Pop Hits a la Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Taylor Swift, Kesha, and Bruno Mars
- 70s/80s like Donna Summer, Chaka Khan, ABBA, Earth Wind & Fire
- EDM/Hip Hop/House mixes for nightclub events

All of my sets include custom remixes, audience participation, and most of all, DANCING!

I love for my wedding playlists to be absolutely custom and curated to the wedding party.
