    DJ

    My love for music began with my first cassette tape: Janet Jackson’s 1989 career-defining concept album, Rhythm Nation 1814. To say that album was “influential” barely scratches the surface—it was my constant companion. I’d bring it to school and dance my heart out in the cafeteria before and after class. Back then, I was convinced I was destined to be a professional dancer. 

    Now, as a DJ with 10 years of experience in the Hudson Valley, I specialize in spinning vintage vinyl. Equipped with two turntables, a powerful sound system, and a library full of soul, funk, disco, and contemporary dance hits, I’m delighted to join Get Down, Upstate. I can’t wait to curate the perfect soundtrack for your wedding or event.

  • What our clients say...

    I was connected with Tom as I was looking for a DJ for my 40th birthday upstate. Upon first meeting him I knew he understood my brief (e.g. no cliched wedding music) and would genuinely care about making the event a success. Throughout he was always super easy to communicate with and very responsive. Beyond the music, he curated a supporting light package which was perfect. When it came to the evening he totally delivered! I adored the fact that he shows up with actual turntables and vinyl which is a refreshing change and visually looks fabulous! He did a perfect job on the night: ultimately, I wanted to get and keep people dancing, which is exactly what happened (even though it was a small group!). He responded super well to the group's "tastes" and deftly navigated through genres with well known hits but also some stuff I hadn't heard and created a party that evolved as the night progressed. I really loved that it felt like a curated, disco/dance centric evening rather than a canned wedding DJ performance and can safely say we didn't want him to leave at the end of the night!!
