DJ Yan | DJ & Live Percussionist

Meet DJ Yan DJ. Drummer. Live Performer. Music has always been at the heart of what I do. With a BA Honours degree in Music Performance and over a decade of professional experience, I've built my career around one thing: creating unforgettable moments through music. My background as a professional drummer gives me a different approach to DJing. I don't just mix tracks. I understand the rhythm, energy and structure behind the music, allowing me to create seamless transitions, build anticipation and keep dance floors moving. What makes my performances different is the combination of DJing and live percussion. I move between the decks and my percussion setup, bringing an extra layer of energy and spontaneity to the music. For clients looking to take things even further, I can also incorporate a live saxophonist. My musical tastes are as varied as the events I perform at. From house, disco, R&B and UK garage to funk, hip hop, indie, rock and party classics, I love bringing different genres together in ways that feel natural and exciting. I've performed everywhere from intimate weddings and private celebrations to large-scale corporate events and festivals. Whatever the occasion, my approach is the same: understand the audience, read the room and create an atmosphere that feels completely right for the event. **Great DJing isn't just about playing great music. It's about knowing what to play, when to play it and how to make people feel.**
