Meet DJ

Jacob Bateson

Jacob Bateson


Lead DJ

When we first met Jacob, the only thing we could get him to talk about was DJing. Favorite activity? DJing. Favorite book? About DJing. Favorite food? The food at events…while DJing.

Jacob started with us with more experience than most, having already DJed for 5 years when he began. He started by practicing in his family’s basement, but leveled up during his college years at Penn State. While there he was regularly performing in bars, clubs and festival stages. A fan of house, hip hop, soul, pop, and R&B, Jacob can mix anything. But you’ll also catch him singing old school sing-alongs and quoting lyrics most Gen Z’ers don’t know exist. But it’s not just his experience & dedication we love, it’s also his desire to learn. He’s constantly finding ways to be the best possible DJ and event pro he can be.

His hobbies include reading, watching football and hanging with family & friends. And through all it, making sure to have fun. He talks about how his job as a DJ is more than just pressing buttons & picking music, it’s about enhancing the experience of his clients and all their guests. Which is we know he’ll do as your DJ.
