Transform your event with a dynamic fusion of DJ'ing & Percussion. As a DJ/percussionist with over a decade of experience, I'm driven by a passion for music that fuels my performances. My diverse background, spanning from drumming in bands to spinning old school R&B and House, has equipped me with a versatile skillset that allows me to cater to a wide range of audiences. With a BA Honours degree in music performance, I've honed my craft and developed a deep understanding of music theory and technique. From intimate weddings to packed festivals, I've had the privilege of performing at countless events and exceeding customers expectations. Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of genres, including EDM, R&B, Pop, Soul, Modern Hits, Indie, Rock, Funk, Hip Hop and UK Garage, I've developed a deep appreciation for music's ability to connect and inspire. My goal is to create an unforgettable experience for every audience, blending high-energy beats with the rhythmic power of percussion. By tailoring my sets to individual preferences and engaging with the crowd, I strive to create a fun and festive atmosphere that keeps everyone dancing and smiling. My passion for music and commitment to providing exceptional entertainment drive me to deliver unforgettable performances that leave a lasting impression.

We couldn’t recommend Yiannis more highly! He was an absolute pleasure at our New Year’s Eve wedding, creating the perfect atmosphere and keeping our guests entertained from start to finish. The music consistently hit the mark — he read the room perfectly, and the dance floor was packed all night! Yiannis was fantastic in the lead-up, ensuring we had calls to discuss our preferences and keeping communication clear so we felt completely confident everything was in hand. On the day, he adapted seamlessly when things ran late and even extended his session to play for us after the New Year countdown, which we truly appreciated. We’re so grateful to Yiannis for making our night unforgettable. Thank you for being wonderful to work with and for helping us start 2025 on a high! Wishing you all the best for the future.

Hi Kayla, thanks so much! I had so much fun playing for you all. What a fun night! All the best.

I couldn't have asked for a better DJ for my wedding! Yan kept the dance floor packed for the whole night and the energy was incredible! Thanks so much for making our day even more special!

I hired Yan for my corporate event and he absolutely blew everyone away. His dj and drum combo was a huge hit and the way he read the crowd was spot on. I'll definitely be recommending him.
