Event Update - Corporate Events in 2025

Hi :)

I know it’s been a minute since I last posted, but I have to say—the past few months have been a really busy. Over the years, corporate events have become a major focus for me, and I’ve truly found my element as a corporate DJ. I absolutely love it, and I feel so grateful for the opportunities I have had.

With that, my schedule always ramps up at the start of the year, especially in January and February, as I get booked for Q1 sales meetings and corporate events across the country.

This year was no exception—I was on the move with back-to-back events in Vegas and Orlando ! Check out some of the highlights from my recent gigs below

Informatica

This year marked my fifth year DJing for Informatica in Vegas, and it was another incredible experience. This time, the event was held at the stylish Cosmopolitan Hotel.

One of the things I love most about this event is the people I get to work with an amazing team of event professionals (it has been pretty much the same exact team every year ; shout out to Erin Daughenbaugh Productions!) I also love the the music I get to play. I typically get to play true classics from all generations, which always keeps the energy high and the crowd engaged. The vibes were a lot of fun!

While I usually create my own setlists for corporate events, this time I had the opportunity to take live requests from guests while performing on stage. It was such a fun challenge to mix in a wide range of genres on the fly, making sure everyone got to hear something they loved.

ACUMATICA

This year marked my fourth time DJing for Acumatica at the stunning Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas, and it’s always one of my favorite events. Thousands of businesses from across the country come together to explore Acumatica’s latest innovations, and the energy is electric—filled with excitement for both the new year and the Vegas experience.

For this event, I keep the vibes high with upbeat, feel-good music, especially hits from the late '90s and early 2000s—always a crowd favorite. The audience spans all ages, but one thing is for sure—they love to dance!

One of the highlights every year is DJing at the legendary XS Nightclub, where some of the biggest DJs in the world perform. Getting to play in such an iconic space was the best time, and amazing energy. Can’t wait for the next one!

Press Ganey

This was my second year DJing the Press Ganey Conference in Orlando, Florida, and it was such a great time. I love this event because the energy and excitement from the attendees is unmatched. Since this is a healthcare conference, the crowd is mostly nurses and doctors from all over the country. They come to learn, but they also know how to have fun, which makes for an amazing atmosphere. Everyone is positive, welcoming, and ready to have a good time, and I love being a part of it.

The event takes place at the Disney World Dolphin and Swan Resort, which makes it even better. Being at Disney World always brings that nostalgic excitement, and it definitely adds to the experience.

For this one, I kept the energy high and played a mix of classic corporate event hits that kept everyone on their feet. It’s always such a fun event, and I’m already looking forward to next year.

It’s been a great start to the year! I am super excited for more :)

I thought I would also share a quick mix of a few of my favorite tracks I have been playing for these events Get a feel for the vibe below:

DJing Netflix's "The Perfect Couple" Premiere (Listen to Playlist!)

Isn’t it the best when you find a new show to binge-watch? That’s definitely one of my favorite ways to unwind on a chill Friday night, especially when I’m not booked to DJ any events (believe it or not, I’m an introvert!). Lately, I’ve been really wanting to dive into The Perfect Couple on Netflix. I mean, Nicole Kidman is in it, so you already know it’s gonna be good! But what makes it even better is that I actually got to DJ the premiere event for the show!

The event was held at The Aster in Hollywood, and the vibe was absolutely beautiful. The space was filled with soft pastel colors that gave it such a dreamy and elegant feel. It was an amazing experience, from the setup to the people, and I still can’t believe I was part of something so special!

Here are some pics of my DJ setup from the event—it was definitely a night to remember!

For the event, I created 2 playlists I want to share here.

1. The Pre-Event Playlist: This one was designed to play in the background while guests arrived for the premiere. It set a smooth, relaxing vibe to welcome everyone. This one is a vibe! Check it out and enjoy below:

2. The Recap Playlist: After the event, I put together a recap playlist that captures the full vibe of what I played that night. The overall theme was centering a wedding, so I channeled my Wedding DJ experience during my set. This will take you right back to the energy of the event. Listen below:

DJing the premiere of The Perfect Couple was an unforgettable experience, and I’m so grateful I had the chance to curate the perfect vibe for such a special event. Being a DJ, it’s always exciting to take on these unique opportunities and always strive to set a musical experience to remember. I hope you enjoy the playlists and the photos from the event!

Thanks for following along!

Live Mix - Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve in Huntington Beach

Hey guys! I know, I know—it’s been a minute, but I’m finally getting around to putting out some new content!

Last month, I had the chance to create a mix at the beautiful and chill Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve in Huntington Beach. It’s such a peaceful spot, and I wanted the music to reflect that vibe.

For this mix, I focused less on playing recognizable songs and more on creating an overall mood. The tracks are a bit eclectic, but they flow together in a way that sets a really cool tone for the space.

A lot of times when I’m DJing events, I like to create a whole vibe instead of just spinning familiar tracks back to back. In my opinion, it keeps my DJ sets fresh and interesting. Check out the Tracklisting below:

Track Listing:

1. Fever Dreamer – SG Lewis ft. Charlotte Day Wilson, Channel Tres

2. Dividends ft. Karen Nyame KG – FS Green & Dave Nunes

3. Change (Intro) – SuperShy, Tom Misch ft. Wayne Snow

4. What Do You Want – Miguel Migs ft. Meshell Ndegeocello

5. Location (Lincoln Baio Mood Blend) – Khalid

6. DRAMA – I Do (Vandelux Remix)

7. I've Been In Love ft. Channel Tres – Jungle

8. Koko ft. Mista Silva – Karen Nyame KG

9. Y'miss Me Baby – Nebraska

This mix was all about creating a vibe, and I’m really excited for you to hear how these tracks come together. If you’re into mood-driven DJ sets, this one’s for you. Thanks for the support, and stay tuned—more content coming soon!

Opening For Alicia Keys - RSA Conference 2024

I opened for Alicia Keys. What?!?!?

I honestly still can't believe I did that. But this past year in May, I got to be a part of the huge RSA securities conference in San Francisco. And they had me DJ to get the crowd pumped for yes, Alicia Keys!!

It's hard for me to fathom become, I such huge fan of hers. Like I grew up on Alicia Keys, from "Falling" to "Unthinkable" to "If I Ain't Got You" to "Empire State of Mind" I mean I could keep going.

Alicia keys is incredible. It was an absolute honor to get to music before her performance!

I played music for about 40 minute (It was slotted to be between 20 mins and 45 mins) so I had a 40 min set prepped and ready to go. For this set, I wanted to have something pre-planned because I knew it would be more of a performance type of set, rather than me reading the crowd. I want to play mashups, and I wanted the set to be focused around Alicia’s sound.

It ended up being a fun set:

Set List Below:

“Look Up” (Groove Terminator Edit)

“Aint No Mountain High Enough” (Marvin GAye & Tammi Terrell) - Freischwimmer ft. Dionne Bromfield

“All For You” - Janet Jackson

“Just Fine” - Mary J. Blige

“Love Overboard” - Gladys Knight & The Pips

“Wish I Didn’t Miss You” (Petko Turner’s Can’t Sleep) - Angie Stone

“Fast Car” (Bauke Top Bootleg) - Tracy Chapman

“My Feelings For You” (Fuse Sunshine Sessions Edit) - DCP

“Ain’t Nobody” (rhework edit) - Chaka Khan

“ Break My Soul” (Smartee Disco Mashup) - Beyonce x Elelyn King

“Bustin Loose” (Throwback Brothers Mixable Classic) - Chuck Brown & The Soul Sisters

“My Lovin” (You’re Never Gonna Get It) - En Vogue

“Doo Wop” (That Thing) - Lauyrn Hill

“Love Like This” - Faith Evans

“What’s Love Got to Do With It” (Zimmer RMX) - Tina Turner

“Rhythm Nation” - Janet Jackson

“Crazy In Love” - Beyonce

“Never Too Much” - Luther Vandross

I think it was a vibe!

After I played, I went backstage and enjoyed Alicia’s performance. She played all of her hits, but my fav was when she performed Empire State of Mind. It was awesome. I have to say, this will definitely be a memorable event for me!

2024 Recap So Far - its been a whirlwind

Hey there!

It's been a while! I've been meaning to post here to update you on all the events I've been fortunate to be a part of, but honestly, time has flown by these past six months! It's been an absolute whirlwind, but so much fun!

Since I can't cover every single event from the past six months, I'd like to highlight the top few DJ gigs I had the pleasure of spinning at :)

25th Annual Discovery Ball at the California Science Center

I got to DJ the "Mona Lisa Lounge" for the 25th annual Discovery Ball at the California Science Center. This event showcased the new Leonardo da Vinci exhibit at the museum. This event was incredible, and it was amazing to be a part of. See pics below :)

National Geographic’s “Bobi Wine” Oscar Pre-Dinner Party

Did you ever see the documentary Bobi Wine? If not, I highly recommend it! It was fantastic. And I was soo honored to get to DJ the pre-Oscar dinner for this nomincated documentary. It was a beautiful dinner party where I got to play a cool collection of crowd favorites along with a selection of music from Bobi Wine himself. Check his music out here! … Also if you want to have a listen to the playlist I curated for the cocktail hour portion of the event, check it out here!

RSA Conference - San Franscisco (opening for Alicia Keys)

Ill be writing more about this event in the next blog post, but wanted share a bit about it here!

It's been an incredible whirlwind of events these past six months, from prestigious galas to major conferences. Each experience has been unforgettable, and I'm grateful for every opportunity to share my passion for music with such diverse audiences.

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey. Your support means the world to me. There were so many other amazing events I didn't get a chance to cover, but each one has been just as special.

I look forward to more exciting gigs ahead and continuing to bring the beats to new heights!

Spinning with D-Nice / The Color Purple Premiere

Hello everyone!

I hope you're all enjoying a fabulous December and the holiday season. I'm excited to share a bit about an absolutely incredible event I had the pleasure of DJing at – it's probably the one of the biggest events I have gotten to be a part of since I started my journey as a DJ.

I had the amazing opportunity to DJ alongside the celebrity DJ D-Nice at the premiere of the highly-anticipated remake of "The Color Purple”. It was nothing short of a dream gig for me! D-Nice is a DJ I've always admired. His career is what I dream of achieving someday, and working alongside him was truly an unforgettable experience.

The event was buzzing with a crowd that included some well-known faces. It was pretty amazing to play for a group that's not just diverse, but also has people you'd recognize from film and music. As a female DJ in LA, who’s been grinding for over 10 years, these experiences are both humbling and exhilarating. It's moments like these that real highlight in this journey!

Thanks for letting me share this with you. Don't forget to check out the premiere of "The Color Purple," coming out this Christmas! Looking forward to more great gigs and unforgettable moments in this dynamic world of DJing.

Happy Holidays!
