A Bit About Me
One of the things I love most about DJing is that it’s never about me - it’s about you!
I’m organized, punctual, communicative, and always available when questions come up. I know how much goes into planning a wedding, so I make a point to respond quickly and keep the music-planning process collaborative, straightforward, and stress-free.
I work especially well with couples who have a good sense of the vibe they want to create - even if they don’t know every song they want to hear yet. Give me the feeling you’re going for, a handful of songs you love, and a little insight into your people, and I can help connect the dots to make the evening unforgettable.
I’ve been DJing with Harmony since 2021, and music is a huge part of my life outside of weddings too. I’m the house DJ for Minneapolis’s Girlhood Social Club and have played larger public events at venues around the city, so I love getting to work with all kinds of crowds and energy. I’m also a hobby musician (mostly piano and ukulele) and I’m the kind of person who can completely get lost in music. That love of music across genres and eras is a big part of how I approach a dance floor: finding connections between songs and creating transitions that feel natural, fun, and true to your crowd. I also bring a clean, modern DJ booth and professional sound setup that delivers great audio without distracting from your celebration's look and feel.
From grandma to your bestie, I take pride in creating a dance floor where everybody gets their moment - no pressure, no ego, just good energy and great music.
I also love to travel, so if your wedding is a little farther from home, don’t count me out! I’ve traveled as far as Italy just to DJ a wedding, and I’m always happy to connect and talk through what it would take to get me there.
When I’m not behind the booth, you can usually find me planning my next trip, cooking a delicious meal, or telling a story about my kitten, Tango.
If you’re looking for someone who’s friendly, low-key, highly responsive, and deeply tuned in to the vibe of your celebration, I’d love to work together!
