I booked Chinua Unites to DJ my 23rd birthday at Keybar in Brooklyn and he was great! He was super professional, had a positive attitude, and made the whole night feel effortless. I was stressing a lot preparing for the day but I didn’t need to worry at all when it came to his service

He played songs from my playlist and mixed in other tracks with the same vibe, I highly recommend DJ Chinua Unites! I’m keeping him in mind for any future events!

The transitions and announcements were smooth, and he accommodated traditions like the hora with warmth and clarity. Chinua’s professionalism and personal touch made the celebration truly special!

‘DJ Chinua Unites was a superb DJ– I had my 50th birthday party at my restaurant with friends and family. I'm French, and some people flew in from France for the event, so it was very important to play some classic French songs. I also like electronic music, rave & DJ culture, plus hard rock & metal, so it was important to include that side as well. Chinua pulled it all off, believe it or not! I'm glad that I booked him!’ More...

DJ Chinua Unites was an amazing DJ! I was celebrating a milestone birthday at the Sanctuary in Roosevelt Island with friends & family from all over. He was pleasant to work with, always making sure that my Marilyn Monroe theme was accounted for. My girlfriends are also avid dancers, and he made sure to keep us dancing during the reception. He even helped my son set up the projector that he brought in. I highly recommend him! Everyone loved him! Thanks DJ Chinua! More...

Chinua did an amazing job at my engagement party. Catered to me and my friends’ music tastes, did an incredible job mixing music and gracefully handled song requests throughout the night. Set aside enough time before the day to have conversations on what I wanted and even took time to visit the venue to make sure he brought ideal equipment for the venue. More...

We were so happy to have Chinua Unites as a part of our wedding celebration! Our reception had Spanish and English speakers and people of all ages, and he was able to emcee in both languages and keep the party going with music that everyone could enjoy. In preparing for the event, Chinua was attentive and responded quickly to our questions, helped us tailor our playlist, and made sure to discuss the details of the evening and review things we may not have thought about. He was also very generous with his time and even made himself available to visit the venue with us. We had a wonderful experience working with Chinua Unites and definitely recommend him! More...

Chinua exceeded our expectations. Beyond his musical talents, he was incredibly communicative and responsive. He really listened to our musical preferences/playlist but also asked for permission to inject his own creative freedom - which we absolutely appreciated. He nailed the vibe we were going after and really took interest into the event holistically - not just his role in it. The care he took to ensure he elevated the party as a whole was beyond appreciated. He wasn't just interested in the songs he would play, but the environment he was helping to curate alongside with us.

I would happily hire Chinua for future events!

Where do i even begin, Chinua was absolutely amazing. He made my daughter's sweet 16 a hit. From the moment we spoke he was all in and listened to every detail provided. He made sure everything was exactly how we thought it would be. I also did allow him to chose the songs to be played all i provided him was which type of music we liked and he truly hit it head on. His personality is absolutely amazing. Planning a birthday is extremely hard and i must say he made this the easiest part for me. if i could give him 100 stars i would.
For future events i know exactly who i will be reaching out to. Thank you for all you did you truly are a blessing.

I needed help with a very large full Wedding Day event for a client of mine & reached out to Chinua for support. He was an amazing DJ, professional, punctual, and even helped with reception announcements; he has a great microphone voice and speaks very well to large audiences.

In addition, he has a wealth of music knowledge and knows advanced DJ techniques. We also had to handle AV requirements for multiple locations (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception). Chinua was instrumental in helping this be a great success.

Chinua is the best dj you could hope to partner with. I reached out to get his support for a fundraiser and Chinua was such a joy to work with. He immediately understood the vibe of the fundraiser and pulled together a playlist for the evening that helped us convey the right moods at the right times -- he struck the right balance between songs that got people that brought the energy and excitement that we wanted people to feel at times and songs that evoked more emotion when we wanted people to connect to the cause. He both listened to our vision and brought his expertise to bear with music that I wouldn't have considered but was spot on. I 100% recommend working with Chinua on a future event of yours! More...

I'm here because I've seen chinuaunites perform a few times now and felt compelled to share my opinion of his work.

He's great!

He has a broad understanding of music and its various genres but more importantly, he gets people. He knows how to engage with and move an audience, which I didn't truly understand at first but now realize how important it is at events. Case in point, at an event I attended, he made the cocktail hour feel buzzy, the dinner classy, and the dance floor vibey. All to say, it's clear he understands exactly what a crowd wants, even when they might not. I highly recommend him as a DJ and will hire him again in the future.

I hired Chinua for a surprise 50th birthday celebration on a yacht cruise in the NY Harbor. I explained the vibe we were looking for and he NAILED IT! He started with chill down tempo stuff and as the night (and the drinks) wore on, so did the music match the mood. I would highly recommend Chinua! More...

Q&As

The most important element is pacing. After playing high-energy music during peak-time, we all eventually need a break, a breakdown, a moment to breathe. This is a great opportunity to allow people to get emotional and form bonds with their fellow dancers– this might mean a sing-along classic, or a nervous slow dance, or even a little bump 'n grind.. . but we can't rest for too long! And so we pick up the tempo again.

The most overlooked secret is lighting. Sometimes, too much (outside) light can make people feel self conscious when it comes to dancing.

I play Feel-Good, For The People music. My style is consultative, it depends on the client. Here are some examples:

- I have played high school and college formal events, themed and otherwise
- I have played at New York City MFA graduate school student parties
- I recently DJed a Polish-American wedding
- I have a Reggae, Dancehall and Dub vinyl collection
- I have radio show playing House, Techno, Jungle and Rave
- I saved an office Hallowe'en party by playing Trap, Pop and R 'n B from my smartphone
- If it were up to me, I could just play Disco Edits, Boogie and Disco House on a rooftop somewhere...

¡Y sí que hablo español también!

Simply put, I love soundtracking the moment when people deeply connect & form a memorable experience.

One evening, while at a wedding reception, a woman shared her story of how she turned a difficult experience (partial leg amputation due to cancer) into the centerpiece of her mission to help people with disabilities learn and thrive as rock climbers by founding a non-profit. She ended her story by saying: I had to make a space that worked for me.

Soundtracking memorable moments of deep connection among people is what works for me!

- Client-Centric: Your needs come first, and I lead by listening.
- Flexible Pricing: You only pay for what you need.
- Equipment: Sound and lighting fit for your event, as needed.
- Experienced: Music trends come, go, and return again. In the end, your event is about people.
- Code-Switcher: I have grown and worked with people from all walks of life.

I am happy to help with music consulting & playlist building remotely!
