I Bring the Music & Entertainment to Your Event.
I’LL ROCK YOUR EVENT
No matter what the event is, I’ve got it covered. From nightlife to corporate parties and everything in between. DJ Shanghai is ready to give you the best event ever. No exceptions.
How I Go Above & Beyond To Make Your Event Spectacular
Events hosted and DJed by DJ Shanghai aren’t your ordinary events. No matter what the industry, I’m there.
I love events of all kinds. Wherever celebrations are had, I’m there with awesome music and stylish MCing.
That’s what makes DJ Shanghai events something special. I care about creating the best experience for everyone involved (with the best music, of course). It’s all about working together.
That’s how I throw the best event imaginable. It’s all about you and your vision. And how I can help you achieve it.
Nightlife
From VA clubs to venues across the country, DJ Shanghai has been involved in nightlife DJing from its start.
Corporate Events
From retreats to holiday parties, I’ve quickly become the premier corporate DJ company.
Private Parties
No matter what your event, if it’s a celebration, DJ Shanghai would love to make it the best ever.
YOUR EVENT INVESTMENT
Starting at $350
Events in Virginia (and beyond) should be personal and unique. You shouldn’t have to settle for an “okay” event DJ. Your event deserves to be the best it can be, and that’s where DJ Shanghai comes in.
I do cool things for cool people and pride myself on not doing the same thing over and over at my events. When you take my approach and blend it with entertainment professionalism — magic happens for my couples, clients, groups, and guests of honor.
Event entertainment presentations average from $350 to $2,500. Experiences are uniquely tailored for clients in search of total event excellence.
PROFESSIONAL EVENT DJ
You’ll never hear the word “cheesy” describing a DJ Shanghai event. I’m constantly looking for the most cutting-edge event tech and best remixes. That’s how I prevent my events from ever feeling stale. No outdated tracks clearing out the dance floor. That means you get a professional experience, hold the cheese.
It also means I work directly with you to customize your music, atmosphere, lighting, and the day itself. That’s how I keep the spotlight on you.
DJ Shanghai has the experience, expertise, and energy to make your event the envy of your industry. From the most refined fashion shows to executive functions, I do it all.

The first step is deciding you want a DJ. But once you’ve made that choice, what qualities make up a good DJ? What should you look for in them to make sure that you’re getting the right DJ for you?
Don’t just go with a friend. Typically they’ll want to enjoy the event too!
Do some investigating. Go to clubs, search online, and find sample mixes
Ask a friend who’s booked a DJ in the past. What did they like about them?
Ask to talk in person. What energy do they give off? First impressions are important!
Are they familiar with your preferred music genres? Or are they experienced enough to mix music they’re unfamiliar with?
When choosing a DJ it comes down to your preferences. The event is about you and your vision, and the DJ should respect that.
-
The DJ does more than just play the music. So choosing the wrong DJ can negatively impact your event more than you imagine. The DJ is in charge of:
The atmosphere as a whole. They play the music that sets the tone of the event
Make all the announcements throughout the event. So they need to be good on the mic.
Keeping things running smoothly in the event of something unexpected going down.
Being your point of contact between you and your guests. So they need to have a good personality.
Managing time and schedule throughout your event. They keep things on track with announcements.
A DJ is also an event host. They don’t just play awesome mixes. They keep everything running smoothly and create a clear line of communication with everyone in attendance.
-
The best DJs aren’t just concerned with the music. They make sure the ambiance is what you envisioned and that you’re happy with the event as a whole. They also:
Build and release suspense with perfect song selection and transitions.
Love what they do. For many DJs, performing isn’t just a job, it’s a calling.
Stay up-to-date on musical trends. Avoid DJs who use outdated tracks as a crutch.
Maintain the highest quality equipment. No one will remember the mixes if the speakers crack and sound unpleasant.
Are open about their style and mixes. Be wary of DJs who won’t give you any reference material.
There are many factors that go into a successful DJ. DJ Shanghai encompasses all of these qualities and more. I’m passionate about my DJing, and I want to share that passion with you.
