FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I require a signed contract for bookings with a 33% non-refundable deposit. For events that are more than 60 miles from my home in Northwest Austin, I charge a travel fee.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When I am contacted by a new customer, I will schedule a phone call or in-person meeting to discuss the event organizer's needs, tastes, and logistics. After a contract has been signed, I'll send the client a music request checklist, which serves as my guide for what music I should play (and what not to play) at the event. Clients can also send Spotify or YouTube playlists. In preparation for each event, I acquire and organize the requested music from the checklist (if I don't already have it) and, while I'm DJing an event, I stick closely to the music that the client has requested. Contracted clients can always contact me by phone, text, or e-mail and I like to schedule "week-of" phone calls to go over an event's timeline and music selections.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been DJing parties for 15 years. I've played at 60+ weddings, multiple clubs in Austin and The Bay Area, school functions, fundraisers, house parties, dorm parties, retirement parties, birthday parties, and more. I held a residency at Plush nightclub until it closed during the COVID-19 pandemic and I contributed equipment and marketed the BYOV events at The Buzz Mill. I also accept freelance DJ gigs from several event companies in Austin and one venue.
