I began my DJ career at the age of 10, using boomboxes and a box of tapes for a school dance. I continued DJing through middle and high school, even DJing multiple proms instead of attending my own. In 2007, I co-founded a weekly dance party called Dead Hipster in Missoula, which became a staple of local nightife for over ten years.
I began DJing weddings professionally in 2012 and have since been a part of over 200 weddings across Montana and the Pacific Northwest.
People say I’m not your “typical” wedding DJ, which can mean many things for sure, but what I like to think it means can be summed-up as follows: I don't rely on overplayed songs like “YMCA”, I don’t yak on the mic like a radio host, and my love and knowledge of music goes much, much deeper than what’s on Most Requested Wedding Songs of the Year lists. And I can read a room like nobody's business.
I specifically tailor the music, throughout the entire day, to YOU. I have an online Music Questionnaire/Personality Test for you to fill out in advance which I use to get an idea of your likes and dislikes, specific requests, the overall vibe you're going for and then I take it from there.
My goal with every wedding I'm a part of is to make it as personalized to you as a couple as humanly possible and make sure everyone in attendance hits the dance floor and never wants to leave.
In addition to countless club gigs and an impressive number of weddings, I've opened for artists like Diplo, Vampire Weekend and Mike Jones and DJ'd events for companies like the Washington Corporation, Engel & Völkers, Class Pass, and MoFi.
As of December 2024 I am:
- Currently booking for the 2025 Wedding Season & Beyond.
- Always accepting inquiries of all kinds.
Missoula, Montana
