Music isn’t just sound—it’s connection. For me, music is a way to bring people together, to celebrate, and to create moments that resonate long after the last song fades. My mom always said, “Stephen, you wear your heart on your sleeve.” That’s how she described me, and it’s how I approach music. Every track I play and every moment I create comes from the heart, with intention and a deep love for the experience I bring to every event.

My DJ Banner: A Woven Legacy

My DJ banner—a cherished piece of my setup—is more than just décor; it’s a symbol of the music and memories I create. Handmade with care by the talented Shanti B., this crochet banner reflects the artistry and authenticity that go into every event I DJ. Shanti’s unconventional and innovative approach adds a unique touch to my brand. If you’d like to connect with her or learn more about her work, feel free to ask me directly.

This banner isn’t just a part of my setup; it’s a living memory of my journey as a DJ. Over the years, I’ve invited the people who’ve meant the most to me in my music journey to sign it. It has grown into a tapestry of love, creativity, and support—a reflection of the community that has helped shape who I am today.

Like the music I create, this banner weaves melodies and moments into a seamless experience, creating unforgettable memories for every client. It’s a symbol of the passion, care, and connection I bring to every celebration.

My Story

I was adopted as a baby, and growing up in a diverse and vibrant family taught me early on the power of connection and community. As I discovered my place in the Jewish community—especially as a Jew of Color—I realized the importance of representation and the unique role I could play in fostering inclusivity.

Through my work in the JOC (Jews of Color) space, I’ve dedicated myself to building meaningful connections, celebrating traditions, and amplifying voices that often go unheard. Whether it’s creating space on the dance floor or working behind the scenes to bring people together, I believe in the power of community and the joy of shared experiences.

My Journey in Event Production

Before stepping into the world of DJing, I honed my skills in large-scale event production. At 4Wall Entertainment, I had the privilege of starting the video department in Los Angeles, leading innovative projects that combined lighting, projection, and video walls.

Working on major productions taught me the importance of seamless execution, creative problem-solving, and the power of visual storytelling. These experiences shaped my ability to think about events holistically—ensuring that every detail, from sound to visuals, works together to create a dynamic and unforgettable experience.

What Music Means to Me

Music has the power to unite us. It turns fleeting moments into lifelong memories, transforms a simple gathering into a celebration, and helps us express emotions words often can’t. Just like my mom’s words, my work as a DJ is all about wearing my heart on my sleeve—bringing authenticity, care, and passion to every celebration.

I bring this same energy and love to everything I do, whether it’s creating instant memories with my Polaroid photography or crafting a playlist that feels as unique as your event. There’s something magical about a Polaroid—it’s fun, nostalgic, and tangible, just like the connections music creates. That’s why I now offer Polaroid memory books as part of my services, so you can hold onto those moments forever.

What I Bring to the Table

  • Personalization: I take the time to understand your vision, tailoring every playlist to fit the vibe and atmosphere you want to create.

  • Professionalism: From seamless transitions to coordinating with event teams, I ensure every detail is perfect.

  • Energy: Whether it’s a heartfelt ceremony or an all-out dance party, I bring an energy that keeps everyone engaged and in the moment.

  • Community Focus: My experience working within the Jewish community and beyond has taught me the importance of tradition, inclusion, and celebration.

Every event I DJ is personal to me. I care deeply about the people, the ceremony, and the experience. From my heart to yours, I’m here to create music and memories that bring us all together.
