FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is designed to reflect the quality, customization, and full-day support I bring to every event. I deliver an experience, not just a playlist. Here’s what to expect: - Flat-rate packages based on event type (weddings, corporate, private) - 50% deposit secures your date, with the remainder due before setup - No hidden fees — setup, teardown, and travel within SoCal are included - Add-ons available for lighting, visuals, extended hours, and custom effects - Discounts may apply for weekday events, military clients, or bundled services Every quote is tailored to your event’s needs, and I’ll walk you through it step-by-step so there’s zero guesswork.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Every event starts with a conversation. I want to understand your vision, your vibe, and what success looks like for you. Here’s how I work: 1. Discovery Call or Message – We talk through your event goals, venue, crowd, and musical preferences. 2. Custom Proposal – I send a branded flyer and detailed quote tailored to your event type (wedding, corporate, private). 3. Music Intake Sheet – You’ll get a personalized form to share must-plays, do-not-plays, and cultural preferences. 4. Booking Confirmation – A 50% deposit secures your date. I’ll send a clean invoice with all terms outlined. 5. Pre-Event Walkthrough (Optional) – For larger events, I coordinate with planners or venues to finalize layout and tech needs. 6. Event Execution – I arrive early, set up discreetly, and deliver a seamless experience from first beat to last dance. 7. Post-Event Follow-Up – I check in afterward to make sure everything met your expectations and gather feedback. I treat every booking like a partnership — you bring the vision, I bring the execution.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My training comes from two decades of real-world experience behind the decks, in front of crowds, and inside the business world. Here’s the foundation I bring: - 20+ years of DJing across clubs, weddings, corporate events, and international stages - Hands-on mastery of industry-standard software (Rekordbox, Engine DJ, etc.) with advanced troubleshooting and backup workflows - Creative direction and branding experience from running AAV Effects — blending music, visuals, and strategy into one cohesive offering - Business and sales background that taught me how to listen, adapt, and deliver value under pressure - Ongoing collaborations with producers, vocalists, and planners to stay sharp and evolve with the industry I’ve learned from every gig, every setback, and every remix — and I bring that depth to every client I serve.
