Frequently Asked Questions
Before We Curate the Vibe
Answers to common questions about booking, services, music and event preparation.
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing varies based on event type, location, duration, guest count, and equipment needs. Travel, extended hours, and upgraded services may require additional fees. Any applicable discounts or charges will be clearly outlined in your custom quote.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once I receive your event details, I will confirm availability and provide a quote based on your event type, location, guest count, setup needs, and timeline. After booking, I gather your music preferences, must-play songs, do-not-play songs, announcements, and overall event flow through a planning call or questionnaire. From there, I keep communication clear, arrive prepared, and curate a professional DJ experience tailored to your event.
What is required to reserve my date?
Your date is officially reserved once the contract is signed and the required deposit is received. Dates cannot be held without both items being completed.
When is the remaining balance due?
The remaining balance is due no later than one week before the event, unless otherwise stated in your contract.
What happens if the event date or details change?
Please communicate any changes as soon as possible. Date, time, location, and service changes are subject to availability and may require a contract or additional fees. Cancellation and rescheduling terms are governed by the signed contract.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My training includes more than 20 years of hands-on DJ experience, ongoing workshops, industry networking and continued practice with professional DJ, audio and music software.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started DJing in 2005, initially focusing on Hip Hop, R&B, and Dancehall before expanding into open-format events and a wider range of genres including Pop, Top-40, EDM, House and more.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I’ve worked with a wide range of clients, including corporate teams, private clients, nightlife venues, travel groups, and event organizers. My experience includes everything from intimate celebrations and milestone parties to large-scale dance events, professional gatherings, and destination-style events. No matter the setting, I tailor the music, energy, and overall experience to fit the crowd, occasion, and desired vibe.
What areas do you serve?
I primarily serve Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Northern Virginia. Select events in New Jersey, Delaware, and other locations may also be accepted based on availability and event details.
Are you available for travel or destination events?
Yes. I am available for select domestic and international events. Travel, lodging, transportation, and any additional equipment requirements will be included in your customized quote.
Can you learn new songs that aren’t in your catalog?
Yes. Song requests that are not already in the music library can usually be sourced with sufficient advance notice. Please submit special selections before the event so availability, appropriate versions, and compatibility can be confirmed. Some rare, unreleased, or restricted music may not be available.

Every event is unique. If you need additional information or would like to discuss your event in more detail, please submit an inquiry on my contact form.
