Personal Curation

After learning about your event’s musical needs, I carefully select records from my massive collection of records that are sure to please! I have a bit of everything and if there is something you want that I don’t have, I will do my best to get it.

Music = Life

Music has played an integral role in my life since birth. The son of a professional musician, my father played drums for country music hall of famer, George Jones. He taught me to respect all types of music. This has helped shape me into being an eclectic and open minded music lover which is then showcased at your event.

Professional Experience

With over 20 years in hospitality, retail, and customer service centric roles plus many years at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, you can rest assured you and your guests will be treated with the utmost respect and professionalism from pre-planning through event completion.

Competitive Rates

I offer reasonable and competitive rates that include all pre-consultations before your event and personal music curation from my collection. Call today for a free consultation to get going!

Happy Clients Include

  • “His can do attitude, professionalism, warmth and flexibility are highly valuable in the controlled chaos work we call event planning. He takes great pride in his eclectic collection of music and as a DJ, and it truly shows in his work.”

    — Lisa E.

  • “Tip was worth every single penny and my wedding would have not been the same without his musical presence… As a professional, he is prompt, responsive, courteous, and thoughtful. As an artist, he understood the assignment and provided the versatility we were looking for. He took time to understand our very different music preferences, what we were looking for, and created a very skillful blend of melodies. Guests were in love with all of it (and we had many different preferences in music!!) His vinyl selection is beautiful and his knowledge of music is expansive.”

    — Eunice K.

  • “He delivered big time! He arrived early to set up and he was organized and professional. We had requested a specific genre of music, including specific songs and he made sure to follow through on that request. The fact that he spins vinyl is so super cool, and it definitely impressed the guests! He even gave us a chance to work the equipment! I recommend Tip 100% for any kind of event, big or small. We are considering flying him out to the east coast for future events. He is that good!”

Why Records?

Vinyl not only sounds better, but it also offers a much richer and deeper connection to the music versus just plugging up a laptop with the hottest radio songs that were downloaded an hour before your event. Many of my records were passed down from my parents and have been in rotation for 50+ years! I have collected records from around the globe and each and every one tells a story. I encourage you and your guests to browse through my crates at your event and pick out something that speaks to you for me to throw on!

Any and all events

Whatever event you are planning, my vinyl collection will elevate the experience for you and your guests. From a Mad Men speakeasy type wedding with Sinatra and Dean Martin to a cosmic disco birthday celebration with deep funk and disco cuts. Or a corporate mixer with some jazz and blues. Even a celebration of life playing your loved one’s favorite tunes… no event is out of the question. Big or small, I love playing them all!
