About

Meet the DJ

For Pooya, DJing has never been just about playing songs. It’s about understanding what a room needs before it asks for it. Fifteen years of experience and hundreds of weddings across Southern California have taught him how to read a crowd, recognize the moment, and know when to shift the energy. Every set is mixed live, giving him full control over the pace, transitions, and flow of the set.

Clients often mention how he fills the dance floor with the right song at the right moment and stays flexible as the night unfolds. He meets with couples early, welcomes song requests, and builds the set around what they truly love. Whether the celebration is large or intimate, Pooya shows up on time, sets up with care, and provides backup equipment and full liability coverage that venues expect.
