My stage name is DJ StyleS, I am from the DMV area and have been DJing for a little over a decade now. I would describe my style of music as open format, meaning I can curate vibes for every genre, nationality and background. Although my main focus has been the club scene, DJing the hottest spots in the DMV area, I have recently started dedicating time to weddings, corporate parties and overall private events. I got into the industry at a young age through a DJ program provided by Arlington County, in this program I was given the opportunity to learn a new skill, while also acquiring a great mentor that to this day has guided me through my professional career. Shout out Jeff! He played a key role in the introduction of DJ Styles. I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse group of people, I have learned that the key to helping my clients is making sure there is a clear line of communication and that the ideas they bring, are being done and even exceeded. This helps me with all types of clients, whether that is with wedding clients talking about their first dance. Or giving owners/managers of venues ideas to elevate parties or private events. I am always looking for ways to improve their experiences. I think what sets me apart from others is my ability to absorb new techniques and new information that multiple DJs have encouraged me to pursue. While implementing my own style, I try to think outside the box and make sure to go above and beyond.
