At Happening Times LLC, I led talent acquisition and booking operations for nightlife venues and live entertainment events across San Diego. I was responsible for identifying, negotiating, and securing DJs and performers while acting as the primary liaison between artists, promoters, and venue owners. Through strategic talent placement and event curation, I helped transform underperforming nights that were averaging 15–20 attendees into high-energy events drawing 250–300+ guests. By focusing on the right talent, branding alignment, and audience targeting, I played a key role in increasing foot traffic, improving event consistency, and strengthening long-term venue partnerships. My role required contract negotiation, scheduling coordination, on-site execution, and building strong industry relationships to ensure every event ran seamlessly.

DJ & Music Producer

VIZON • Freiberufler

May 2022 - Present • 4 yrs

I began taking music seriously in 2022, turning what started as a passion into a full-time career as a DJ and electronic music producer. Based in San Diego, I’ve focused on building a sound rooted in tech house and bass house, blending my background in piano and hip-hop with modern, club-driven production. As I developed my catalog, my tracks began receiving support from artists such as Shiba San, B/AN/K, and Haylee Wood, reinforcing the direction and quality of my work. Performing at established venues across San Diego and Phoenix has allowed me to test my music in real club environments, giving me firsthand insight into what truly moves a crowd. Today, I handle the entire production process. From initial idea and sound design, to final mix and master creating polished, release-ready records designed to compete in today’s electronic market.
