- Setup access to venue usually 2-4 hours before performance time
- 20-Amp grounded power access/outlet within 50 feet of each performance area
- Vendor Meals are determined based on the event
- Shaded, level, dry, heated, and sufficient-sized performance areas in each space where music is desired.
- The DJ booth should be located on one full edge of the dancefloor and typically requires 6'x20' with nothing placed behind it.
Clients typically let us know which spaces they will be using at the venue so we can provide the appropriate amount of sound systems as well as any sound regulations
Yes. We provide all sound systems, wireless microphones, uplighting, and dance lighting, fully covering your event.
Of course :) We are big on smooth transitions and always have either live or DJ'd music according to the clients' vision.
Recent performances include Ferrari, Disneyland, Aston Martin, Mercedes Benz, Four Seasons Beverly Hills, Ritz Carlton Laguna Beach, and luxury weddings at five-star luxury resorts throughout Mexico and Hawaii.
I love performing for all kinds of events, but weddings are often my favorite :)
I graduated collage with a degree in finance, worked in the startup space, then worked in commercial real estate, then quit my corporate job, and dove head first into the humble beginnings of becoming a professional musician! Eight years later, I am incredibly grateful to be performing for celebrities, being published in magazines, performing around the world, winning statewide and national awards, and creating epic Saxophone-DJ experiences that I'm truly proud of.
Wow so many! Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, and Earth Wind and Fire are a few. I also love performing high-energy Saxophone-DJ sets with a heavy dose of Avicii, David Guetta, Tiesto, Calvin Harris, and John Summit.
My purpose is simple: To love and serve others by creating unforgettable experiences through music. This is my why. This is what I get excited about. And this what I have chosen to dig deep on.
I've obsessed over virtually every detail of creating unforgettable musical experiences from sound design, song choice, music theory, reading a room as a performer, emceeing technique, lighting design, the sociology of the perfect party, videography, digital marketing, and every pillar of running a successful business, becoming one of the most sought-after experts in my field of performing as a Saxophone-DJ for luxury weddings and events. This is my niche!
The Saxophone + Piano + DJ/Emcee full-day wedding experience is typically up to 7 hours of performance coverage. We usually arrive 3-4 hours early for setup.
Of course! I do ask for shaded, level, dry, heated, and sufficient-sized performance areas in each space where music is desired.
I love customizing for each unique client. This typically includes custom MP3's, custom playlists, and learning new songs.
