MY PHILOSOPHY


Creative collaboration with my clients is the foundation of the SongStruck philosophy, as each event is musically, culturally, and aesthetically unique. Drawing upon your music tastes and distastes, the energy of your guests, the vibe of the venue, and your dream vision, I create a sophisticated and memorable soundtrack that transcends expectations and brings people together, complemented by simple, well-timed MC announcements as needed to keep your event flowing smoothly. No cheesy DJ tropes or blasé, overplayed tunes. Just the best time ever with those you love.

HOW I DO IT

I've honed my craft through almost two decades of wedding and event performance and experience around the world as a professional DJ and multi-instrumentalist, alongside expert music curation with an ear for what works and sounds good. Combining high-end event professionalism with a personalized touch, deep insights into people and cultures, superior technical skill, and state of the art equipment, I will create a unique, innovative, and ridiculously fun music experience your guests will talk about until the end of time.

WHO IT'S FOR

Those who wish to create an authentic, unique celebration that transcends expectations and releases their inner party animal. Those who believe great music is the backbone of a successful event, and prioritize it as a “number one must-have”. Those who have refined taste and cannot seem to find the right person who just gets it and gets you. Those free to express themselves and unleash their creativity, standing out as tastemakers amongst your tribe without being in the spotlight. Those looking to party with your guests as long and as often as possible.

WHO IT'S NOT FOR

Those who do not feel great music is an absolute “must-have", top priority like choosing a venue or a photographer / cinematographer. Those who’d be happy with any experienced DJ/MC to fill the role, rather than me specifically. Those who do not feel personal connection and collaboration are essential to an amazing service experience. Those who want the regular stuff* and thus would not value an eclectic, collaboratively crafted soundtrack. Those who don't party.

*including country, corporate pop, participation dances, “wedding song clichés” like Sweet Caroline or Don't Stop Believing, over-the-top disco, Rat Pack / excess jazz, slow jams on the dance floor…


The two guiding principles of SongStruck are the Power of Music, and Creative Collaboration with my clients. Music can uplift spirits, foster connection, and often decorates the most magic moments of people's lives. I harness the Power of Music through curation of the best songs across cultures, styles, and moods, and share that energy through live performance and creative expression out to groups of people. As every event is musically, culturally, and aesthetically unique, this is where Creative Collaboration comes in, to help shape a soundtrack that reflects you, your guests, the vibe of the venue, etc.
