Pricing varies depending on the type of event, duration, location, and equipment needed.

Wedding and event package details are available here.


I specialize in a wide range of genres, including Top 40, Pop, Hip-Hop, Rock, Indie, Dance, Electronic, House, World, and Latin. My extensive music knowledge allows me to adapt to any event, and I am always open to learning new music to suit your needs. Having performed in diverse clubs worldwide, I bring a versatile and global perspective to every event.  I carefully customize the music selection based on the event and client preferences. Check out more of my mixes here.


Whether it's music selection, special event requirements, or unique setups, I work collaboratively to make your vision a reality. I pride myself on being highly adaptable when it comes to music selection for each event. Some clients prefer to curate the entire playlist themselves, while others entrust me to select the perfect music to suit the vibe and energy of their event. 


Yes and No. Every event calls for different styles of music and moods. I have plenty of clean and radio edited music directly from radio stations and music subscription services. On the flipside, we are also adults and every crowd is different. I always ask my clients when at an event. You know your audience and if you want to party, sing, or dance explicitly, then you should always be yourself and I will play to you. Obviously, reading the room and crowd comes first. 


    1. Equipment fails? Do you have a backup plan?

  • I always have an extra computer, hard drives, cables, batteries, and microphones directly on hand. 
  • When it comes to hardware—speakers, controllers, lighting, and more—I have trusted vendors and reliable connections to call on if anything unexpected happens. My equipment is top-quality, meets industry standards, and is less than five years old, ensuring optimal performance for your event. 

   2. You are sick, late, unable to make it, or an emergency arises?

  • This is RARE but in case of an emergency, I have a network of DJ colleagues I can call upon who are of equal talent that I trust to step in. 
  • I ensure everything runs smoothly by setting up and conducting a thorough sound check at least one hour before guests arrive. 


Yes, I am fully covered up to $2 million. I can provide the certificate of insurance (COI) to the appropriate parties for your event.


Once you are ready to book, we will discuss your specific needs, event details, music preferences, and vision to ensure everything is tailored to your event. Once everything is finalized, I will provide a contract and deposit information to secure your date. You will have access to my online planning forms and music database. After that, we will stay in touch to fine-tune any details leading up to your event, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable experience!
