Now includes three complete resources — the business playbook, the setlist framework, and the starter checklist. Everything you need to launch and grow.
As a mom, I wanted our family event to feel fun for everyone — not just the kids, not just the adults. Marcus gave us exactly that. He brought real club energy that took me right back to my 20s, while keeping everything completely age-appropriate for the kids. My children were having the time of their lives on the dance floor right alongside us. That balance is nearly impossible to find, and he nailed it.

I'm not your typical DJ guru. I'm not even a typical DJ. I got my start watching DJs work a nightclub where I was busing tables. I fell in love with the craft immediately — the energy, the crowd, the music, the business potential. But I looked at that scene and knew one thing clearly: that's not where I'm building my life.
I was a university student. My friends were planning weddings on tight budgets. I was watching people get burned by DJs who didn't take their events seriously. I saw the gap: high-energy, high-quality DJ work for people who weren't trying to be in a club.
So I built Energetic Music Production around that gap.
I'm a husband. I'm a Christian. I'm a father to an 8-year-old daughter. Early in my career I made a decision that has shaped everything since: I won't DJ anywhere my family can't or shouldn't be. That conviction didn't limit my career. It defined it.
Today I hold a residency at Lucky Strike, a luxury bowling venue in South Orange County. I've worked with Chick-Fil-A and Nine West. I've DJ'd for the UC Riverside athletics program across six sports teams. I've served churches, schools from preschool through California Baptist University, philanthropic events, and community organizations throughout Southern California.
I built all of this — without chasing nightclubs, without grinding wedding season, without missing my daughter's bedtime. And when I look back at how I did it, I realize it comes down to a system. A positioning. A specific set of strategies that almost nobody is teaching — because most DJ coaches are teaching you how to succeed in the mainstream DJ world.
This book teaches you how to succeed in a better one.
Most DJ resources give you one piece of the puzzle. Either the mindset, or the music, or the gear list — never all three.
This bundle gives you the business foundation, the performance framework, and the practical setup guide in one place — built specifically for the DJ who wants to serve families, faith communities, schools, and corporate clients.
Three resources. One price. Zero bar scene required.
I've been DJ'ing weddings for years, but I was craving a new creative challenge. Marcus helped me break into the upscale family entertainment space, and honestly, it's made me a better DJ overall. I've learned to truly read a room — understanding that people laughing over bowling or enjoying a meal are having just as great a time as a packed dance floor. That shift in perspective has been huge. I'm actually excited to bring these new skills back to my wedding gigs.

I came from the festival and EDM world, so mixing open format and family-friendly sets wasn't really in my wheelhouse. Working alongside Marcus completely changed that. The skills and techniques I picked up opened doors I never expected — I've now booked wedding clients of my own, and I've even had the privilege of covering for Marcus twice. This collaboration made me a more versatile DJ and genuinely expanded my career.

What's included in the bundle exactly?
Three digital resources delivered instantly: Booked, Blessed & Home By Ten (41 pages), The Family-Friendly DJ Playbook: Setlists That Work (26 pages), and the EMP DJ Starter Checklist (4 pages). You get everything in one download — no subscriptions, no upsells.
But can family events and school dances actually pay well enough?
Corporate clients, athletic programs, university events, and institutional bookings routinely pay $500–$2,000+ per gig. And they tend to book in advance, repeat annually, and refer you to their networks. You're not doing birthday parties forever. You're building a portfolio that opens doors.
I don't have a big following or any connections yet.
Neither did I when I started. This book focuses on warm referral strategies — the fastest way to get booked without an audience or an ad budget.
Is this really worth $27 if I'm just starting out?
That's exactly who this is for. You don't need experience, gear, or connections to start — you need a map. This bundle gives you the business strategy, the performance framework, and the practical setup guide so you're not figuring it out one expensive mistake at a time. Most DJs waste hundreds on the wrong gear and months chasing the wrong gigs. This $27 cuts that entire learning curve short.
