Who We Are

Welcome to Wild Chords!

Music is one of the shared experiences humanity needs - it defines culture, it breaks down complex things like identity, social and political issues, life and death, love and pain, in ways that no matter where you come from, you can experience it for yourself through The power of music.

I can’t wait to get started!

  • I apply a wide range of music types to my DJ sets. Before the event, I set up consultations with my couples or event organizers to get a feel for the event and collaborate on a custom collection of songs special to the event and the guests! I am an open format DJ - that means I like to play a wide range of genres and songs to provide variety in the listening experience and incorporate all music tastes on the dance floor!​

    During the events, I read the crowd and see what is getting people on the dance floor. I have a wide-ranging selection of songs from all kinds of eras and genres to keep the night going and give everyone something to dance to. My job is to keep the night active and provide a music selection appropriate to the event theme and crowd type and keep your guests engaged on the dance floor.

    ​I also love playing background music and AV support for community events and MCing if needed!

  • Music is a deep part of my history. My mom had an upright piano when I was growing up and would play on that constantly. I played trumpet in high school, then singing in college, and now mixing and arranging music as a DJ. Music is a healing tool and a creative outlet for me and I love finding music to fit any occasion.

  • Weddings are magical events for families to get together, celebrate love, and party down. I love being a part of making a special day possible for couples and creating memories that last a lifetime.

  • I can look at each event as a new creative experience and an opportunity to explore beyond my taste in music and areas of knowledge and have fun doing it while becoming a better DJ in the process! I love that my talents and abilities to make experiences like joy, love, feeling, and belonging for myself and others are much more a part of my core passions as I live my life as an artist and entrepreneur.
