About our DJ, HK ALL DAY
Hi, I'm Hunter!
I've lived in Hawaii for the past 18 years and grew up Washington State. I originally moved out to Hawaii to attend University of Hawaii at Mānoa where I received my bachelor's degree in Music. During my time at UHM, I met my wife, Heather. We both love music, being in the ocean and snowboarding! We just celebrated our five year wedding anniversary, which took place at Kualoa Ranch. Nowadays, we both work full time in the wedding industry together helping couples have awesome weddings in Hawaii. I'd love to hear more about your wedding vision and how we help make it a reality for you!
What's your DJ style?
Exciting, fun, versatile, customizable, adaptive, and responsive! I always do professional live mixing on an industry standard pioneer DJ setup and observe your guests to make sure they're loving the music!
I've personally DJ'd over 300 weddings. I'm open to playing all types of music and never discriminate against anything you want to listen to. This includes genres such as Pop Rock, Classic Rock, Reggae, Dance Hall, Island Music, Hawaiian, Jazz, Soul, Motown, Hip Hop, 2000s Hip Hop, Old School Hip Hop, Hyphy Music, RnB, Modern Rap, K Pop, easy Listening, Indie, Instrumental piano, strings, Bridgeton vibes, folk, bluegrass, country, EDM, Trap, House, Deep House, Tropical House, Funky EDM like Griz, Bass Music, Melodic Bass, and more.
From the latest new releases all the way back to the classic songs, where it all started, I'm able to play any genre. This is a safe space and we welcome all music tastes! Also, my knowledge for music goes back all the way to the 1920s and before so I'm prepared to accommodate anyone no matter their music taste or age. With that being said, I don't ever play songs out that your guest don't want to hear or take requests that are going to ruin your dance party.
Whenever I perform at weddings, it's never about what I want to play; it's all about playing what you envisioned listening to on your special day. That way your wedding or event is everything you dreamed and envisioned it to be. I'm also one of the only wedding DJ's in Hawaii who produces his own original music.
Are you the MC? What's your MC style?
Modern, simple and professional. Less is more! I always deliver announcements in an exciting and professional manner that keeps your timeline running smoothly and seamlessly on schedule. I don't say any cheesy jokes or spend too much time on the microphone. Weddings are all about two people celebrating their love with everyone they love and care about, and that also loves and cares about them. Not listening to someone they don't know talk on a microphone the whole night. With that being said, you are always welcome to hire your own third party MC or have a guest MC. We'll have the wireless mic ready for them. If this is what you're looking for, I'd love to connect!
Do you take requests?
Yes, we are happy to take requests and you are more than welcome to regulate the types of requests. This is confirmed on our music worksheet we send out for booking.
How long have you been DJ-ing?
17 years. My history of DJ-ing started at pool parties during my time at University of Hawaii in 2008, to yacht parties in Waikiki, then to weddings, corporate events and parties of all types! I have a huge passion to entertain others and always go above and beyond to make sure your wedding or event is unique, unforgettable and everything you envisioned it to be.
What's your Music Background?
I play four different instruments, majored in music and produce my own music. My passion for music extends back to being a young child. At the age of five, I began playing piano. At ten years old, I started playing the drums. Shortly after, I picked up guitar and ukulele as well.
I moved to Hawaii and graduated with his Bachelor's degree in Music from University of Hawaii at Manoa. After graduating college, I started teaching private music lessons as well as music production and recording. After four wonderful years of teaching music, I transitioned into doing professional entertainment and music full time where I can be found at weddings and events all around Oahu, Maui and Kona.
What are your favorite types of music personally?
Since I have a huge passion for music, I appreciate most genres of music. I grew up listening to classic rock and punk rock, playing drums in a jazz band, then learning Jack Johnson songs on guitar, to learning piano and electronic music production. Then I listened to rap and EDM during my college years. I pretty music like it all. However, my favorite type of music personally is house music. We also went to many great shows and festivals with musical acts from around the world such as Coachella, EDC, Red Rocks, Outside lands, Electric Forrest and Bonnaroo. We know what a good show looks like!
