Q: What was your dream job growing up?

As a kid I dreamt of being an entertainer. I remember getting a microphone for christmas when I was 6 and it became my favorite thing. My family was full of regret for giving it to me 🙂

Q: What does a typical wedding day look like for you?

On a typical wedding day I wake up early and double check the Timeline and song selections for the evening. I usually load into the venue a few hours before guests arrive to make sure everything is in place and functioning properly. Once I’m set up, I like to introduce myself to the vendor team and catch up with the folks I’ve worked with before. Once guests arrive I begin setting the vibe for the rest of the night! I love my job!

Q: How did you get into the business?

I started DJing clubs and house parties when I was living in Los Angeles in the 2000’s. After several years of recording and performing as musicians, my wife and I decided to make the move to Nashville and together with her sister and close friend as partners, we opened The Cordelle in 2014. The venue became a way for me to meet other people in the industry here and I started to DJ weddings. Through word of mouth and Venue referrals the work was picking up so fast that I decided to create my DJ business in 2015. Since then I’ve met so many amazing vendors and played some of the best venues in Nashville, Miami, Atlanta and Los Angeles. I consider myself very fortunate to be a part of the business here in Nashville.

Q: What is your favorite part of a wedding day/event day?

 My favorite part of a wedding is that magic that happens when I play the last song and see the couple overjoyed and surrounded by their family and friends. The reason this particular moment resonates so much is I get the feeling that love overcomes everything else…I see it happen…it’s real! 

Q: Who would be your dream celebrity to play for?

Harry Styles, I definitely think It’d be a good party, very bespoke!
