Tampa, FL
Originally from Mount Clemens Michigan, and surrounded by the smooth sounds of Motown, I developed a love for music during my early childhood. I attribute my eclectic passion to artists such as; Anita Baker, Mary J Blige, Whitney Houston, Justin Timberlake, Grover Washington, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, Prince and Queen.

DJ
D'Lisa was GREAT! We had a function at the Ritz in Sarasota for my wife's birthday with over 60 friends and family attending. On time, on point and open to requests, she provided us with a great experience. In fact, another function nearby was heard to say "Wish we had your DJ". She will be my go to whenever we have another function and I will recommend her whenever someone needs a DJ. More...

D'Lisa was so very easy to work with. She arrived early and had the equipment set-up in no time. (very professional) It was plain to see that she loves music and people. She seemed happy to ensure everyone was enjoying the music. For a couple of hours we forgot our cares and just went with the music. It was fun! More...

What’s the secret to keeping a party dancing all night long?
Definitely reading the crowd, making eye contact, and delivering the music as if you're enjoying it yourself. Dancing is contagious. If the DJ's not dancing to their own playlist, why would anyone else?
Honoring requests is also a great crowd gauge. Guests are more likely to loosen up when they're hearing music they recognize.
How would you describe your ‘style’?
I keep the atmosphere light and fun, while maintaining a high standard of professionalism. I play open format music and try to respond to every song request.
Motown made me, but MTV raised me. My blend's smooth like bourbon and I mash up better than potatoes.
What do you love most about your job?
Music heals, inspires, uplifts, and brings people together.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I started out managing the sound in an AV booth.
I'm passionate about music. I'm passionate about uplifting others. What better way to do that than DJing? I used to perform for free for my family. They kept telling me I should charge for my services because everyone felt so good once the event was finished. I took their advice.
Why should our clients choose you?
I cater every playlist to my client. I never play the same set twice. I play music from all genres and decades that blend in a way the audience can still dance, even if they don't necessarily like a specific artist. My playlists are infectious. Sometimes it's as simple as maintaining a catchy beat that allows the audience to appreciate what they're hearing, when they typically wouldn't. I combine this magic with gold standard professionalism and attentive service. I bring the light.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Indeed. I'm familiar with web connections and digital audio setups. I also have my own youtube channel where I'm able to live stream my DJ sets for clients and provide them with their own, individual link to stream my sets from anywhere in the world. I also provide music mixes for clients who are in need of music for their function, but not necessarily a full dj setup.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I keep sanitizer at my booth. I also have a customized mask for DJ events. If you're guest want to request a song or want more info about services, there's a hands free QR code on my setup used for scanning.
