Cody, Wedding DJ

Cody has been a lifelong musician, with a background rooted in live performance. His introduction to DJing came through his twin brother, and it immediately clicked as a natural next step.

As he began to move away from performing in bands, DJing offered a new creative outlet that combined his musical foundation with a different kind of energy. With his classical training, he was able to transition quickly, applying those skills to a new format and fully immersing himself in the craft.

For Cody, it comes down to creating an atmosphere that feels effortless and elevated. Every detail matters, from sound quality and song selection to pacing and flow, and he approaches each event with that level of intention. He strives for a seamless experience where guests feel it, not just hear it.

Cody believes in letting things build naturally, never rushing a moment. He guides the room in a way that feels intentional and refined, putting his heart into crafting thoughtful mixes. He values collaboration and enjoys working closely with couples to shape a soundtrack that truly reflects them.

Outside of DJing, Cody is a high school band and marching band teacher, bringing a strong sense of organization and composure into every event he’s part of. When he’s not behind the booth, he’s usually spending time with his family or with his dog, Chase.

My Grandfather is the reason i fell in love with music. He used to play the banjo every day for me. When we got to fifth grade, we were able to pick an instrument, I chose trumpet and practice very hard. It eventually became my career and I teach high school band and am sharing my passion with my students.
