How I got here.

Philadelphia → Los Angeles → Dallas → the Pacific Northwest.

DJ’ing across the country taught me that a wedding in Southern California doesn’t unfold like one in Seattle. It showed me that a university event isn’t going to run like a corporate gala. Now based in Shoreline and serving the greater Puget Sound, the same process travels with me: read the room, adjust the set live, and never settle with re-using last event’s playlist.

Formed in the vinyl era

Philadelphia

I cut my teeth in East Coast club scene during the vinyl era: live mixing on turntables in an era before streaming and social media even existed.

West Coast move

Los Angeles / The OC

Making the move to the West Coast scene meant stepping my game up by competing in a larger, more crowded market.

Growing my taste & style

Dallas

Bigger stages and huge crowds followed – my first corporate clients, building out my style, getting into more types of music than ever before.

The Livestream Era: 2020-2022

Online & Worldwide

When live events stopped, the booth moved online where I did over 120 charity livestreams in just one year – regularly drawing nearly 20,000 concurrent viewers from around the world.

The philosophy behind the music.

Informed from over two decades behind the decks

A DJ's job is to read the room, respond to it live, and build a night that tells the story of the event and the people there.

That means moving between Amapiano, Motown, Funk, and Trap… going from the Four Tops to Future and 2 Chainz, all without losing the crowd. It’s knowing when to jump on the mic to hype up the crowd, adjusting a timeline mid-event when the need arises, and having the instinct to change course when the room tells you. Having a deep catalog only matters if the right track gets dropped at the right moment, and that’s what decades of experience actually gives you.

Guests remember the killer music selection, the perfect vibes, and the joy from the event itself. What guests don’t see is everything else that goes into it: talking through the needs of the event, creating the day of timeline, working through the “must-play” and “do-not-play” lists, coordinating on venue logistics and vendor contacts. All of this gets worked out ahead of time so that when it’s time to press play I can focus on making your event a success. It lets me know what to look for when I’m reading the room and keeping things moving. It’s the difference between something created and curated for your event versus something just pulled off the shelf.

The guiding principles behind every Helix Event

CURATED APPROACH · EXPERT PREPARATION · EXACTING STANDARDS

01Still Behind The DecksOngoing, not occasionalThis isn’t something I do just a few times a year. I’m constantly testing new music against all sorts of crowds, tracking how people are responding to both the song that dropped earlier that day and the deep cuts, and constantly honing the instincts I’ve developed over two decades. For me, it’s most important to understand what makes your event matter and build for that.

02Depth Meets ExperienceCurated sets come from experienceA wide catalog only matters if the right track gets picked at the right time. Every set is mixed live in real time, reading the floor, and trusting instincts developed over two decades of doing this for real crowds.

03The Preparation processWhat happens before the dateWhether it’s a school family dance, a corporate holiday party to cap off the end of a successful year, or a 50th wedding anniversary, every event gets the same attention. Every event starts with a discussion where we talk through not only the needs of your event, but really understanding what you want the experience to be. This puts me in the best spot to make your event one to remember long after even the last song gets played.

04One event per date – No exceptionsundivided attentionI only book one event per date. Rather than rushing through your event to get to the next one, this policy lets me give your event the full attention it deserves. Setup happens early, communication happens through the booking and prep processes, and there’s a written agreement in place before any deposit when requested. Clean versions are always available to put parents and ASB at ease (while still letting the kids hear the songs they want to…just in a more appropriate wrapper).
