Introduction

I love my job and people love that! My attention to detail and great sound and light systems and knowledge of a huge Variety of songs and styles are often cited by satisfied clients. Can't decide on using a live band or a DJ - maybe want to include some karaoke? You can have all these options at an affordable rate. I will simply be your Dj or create the perfect combination of entertainment for your event guaranteed! If the space is small and the budget limited no problem - my solo band performance and DJ/KJ combo will fit perfectly. If you space and budget are larger than I can add musicians. A professional sound and shows that include all styles - requests and crowd interaction add to the fun. Always with a full band sound that's never too loud and fits on your patio or dining area (or on a large stage at your festival, corporate party or wedding). I'm originally from Portland and back in the area after performing for extended periods in Florida, California, Hawaii, and Austin Texas. I love the Variety of music I'm asked to provide - Let me tailor a package for your event. From Jazz Piano and Crooner music of the 40s - 50s Rock'n'Roll and Doo Wop - 60s and 70s Folk Rock and Dance - 80s, 90s Pop up to the current top 40 - Beach and Luau themes are a specialty - Buffett, Marley with live steel drum, Hawaiian favorites on the ukulele... Choose a theme or request Variety - something for everyone of all ages!

Hired on Thumbtack

Phil was responsive and easy to work with. He was totally on top of all the details, making coordination and planning a breeze on our side. The sound quality was great (nice speakers, amps, mics, etc). Phil was also wonderfully flexible with how we used our time: for part, he played well selected background music while we were eating dinner, facilitated our white elephant exchange, and then did a great job with accommodating songs.

Details: Corporate/office party • Standard (e.g., under 50 guests, small venue, standard equipment) • 31 - 50 years old • Pop/Top 40 • Rock • R&B / Soul • Hip hop / Rap • Oldies

Phil Greek was an excellent wedding dj. I found him last minute and everything worked flawlessly. have never hired a dj before but using Thumbtack saved our wedding day. Phil has an amazing music library and was able to find all of our songs. He was very flexible with schedule and kept to his word and more than delivered.

Phil and Laura were great!! They came to my Mom’s retirement party and they made the event so much more fun. Phil was responsive and easy to communicate with before the event, and took the time and effort to ensure the music list was just what we wanted. He’s very talented playing the steel drums, ukulele, bongo drums, and has a great voice! And guests loved having the shakers. So glad we hired them and would definitely hire in the future!

Details: General event / party • 26 - 50 guests • 18 - 30 years old • 51 or older • 31 - 50 years old • Party host • Vocals • No preference • Oldies • Variety • Rock / classic rock • Covers • Outdoor venue • Outdoors • Yes, but equipment is limited and professional should bring their own equipment • $$ (standard) • Ready to hire the right pro now

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing music performances can be a bit confusing. There are obvious factors like hours and travel, set-up and prime time slots like Saturday night being more valuable. Giving the right quote can depend on good information from the client and I prefer to set a price after a personal consultation. Getting a deposit insures both parties of an important commitment to an important event/date.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We talk and email details, collaborate on playlists and set-up. I will link vidoes and songs lists to tailor the party to the unique needs of the client.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a B.A. in Music and Film/Communications from Stanford University. i have been a full-time musician and performer for over 40 years since graduating from stanford in 1979.
