DJ DEON
About DJ Deon
DJ Deon, an Oregon native out of Salem has his finger on the pulse of the new and “upcoming” music scene.
He believes that “Music is the soundtrack of his life” When growing up he really enjoyed making custom mix tapes, burning custom CD’s for friends. And at every party he attended, he somehow always ended up being in charge of the music. When he learned to DJ and mix music, he fell in love with the craft and its endless possibilities.
He’s been mixing music for a total 4 years. He has experience DJing corporate events, graduations, Quinceañeras, weddings, and most recently bars and night clubs.
DJ Deon has wide range knowledge in music – Bollywood, Merengue, Reggaeton, as well as Hip Hop, Classic Rock, EDM and even a little bit of Country. He’s not the type of DJ who is constantly on the mic, he likes to have the music speak for him, however he can make any announcement you request.
Success to him, is creating an experience that you and your guests will remember and talk about for many years to come.
