Outgoing and Energetic, connecting with family and other guests is one of my favorite parts!

My favorite memory has to be mixing for a New Gallery release at an art studio on the North Side of Chicago. Between the sculptures/modern art and the 8 genre mix we got to do, it was definitely one for the books! I’ve been lucky enough to see all sorts of different event spaces, so when a special one comes around it’s a treat!

The best part about being a Dj for me is connecting with the couple and their guests. Hearing old stories and music associated with them leads to some of the best moments in a night! Being able to play something that makes that person light up and run for the dance floor is a big part of my love for this work!

I try to go above and beyond with white glove service for the guests. Wether it’s fixing a plate for dinner, asking for song requests or making a special shoutout, those small moments make the day!

My favorite part of the night is a two way tie!
For the ceremony, it has to be the moment the couple is introduced for the first time while the recessional song is played. There’s a special energy in the room after “I do” and for a moment all the stress of planning, getting dressed up and rehearsal is resolved.For the Reception, The final moment on the dance floor with the wedding party and couple is my favorite. The laugher and closeness from sharing the whole day celebrating comes down to a sweet moment, typically a circle of guests dancing around the Bride and Groom.This was a hard choice! The high energy introductions in the reception are a close second.

My Uncle moved back to Illinois from Ireland when I was fifteen, bringing his Club DJ setup back with him. He showed me how to mix, use effects and create transitions. After a few weeks of me practicing, he sent me home with a basic mixer to continue learning. Listening to and playing music has always been a big part of my life. So when the opportunity to mix and modify songs was presented, I was all in!

I help out a family friend as a produce farmer in the summer ! It’s a 5 acre plot near Joliet where we raise chickens and grow everything from Tomatoes and Garlic to Watermelons and Molokhia (Egyptian Spinach). You’ll usually catch me out in the field with a bluetooth speaker listening to mixes while tending the rows!
