Need a host, not a DJ?

I do that too.

Some events already have a band, a DJ or an AV company. What they need is somebody on the microphone who can keep the program moving, make the announcements, talk to a crowd and handle the moments in between. That’s a big part of what I do in radio every day.

Corporate events

Awards, employee events, holiday parties, meetings and company celebrations where somebody needs to own the microphone and keep things on schedule.

Galas + fundraisers

Introductions, sponsor mentions, transitions, live reads and keeping the room engaged without making the event feel overproduced.

Community events

Festivals, races, public events, grand openings and live programs where the crowd needs information, energy and a host who can think on their feet.

Awards + presentations

Names pronounced correctly, speakers introduced cleanly and the program kept moving when the schedule changes.

Brand events

A comfortable, professional microphone presence for launches, activations and events where the person speaking becomes part of how the brand feels.

Custom hosting

If your event needs somebody to guide the room, make announcements or hold a live program together, tell me what you’re planning.

Why it works

The microphone is my day job.

I’ve spent years talking live to an audience, working from a clock, changing direction when something goes sideways and making information sound like a conversation instead of a script.

  • Comfortable speaking live without sounding stiff
  • Good with names, timing, cues and sponsor copy
  • Able to fill time when something runs late
  • Can work from a detailed run of show or a loose outline
  • Works easily with producers, AV teams, venues and event staff

Already have the music covered?

Send me the event.

Tell me the date, location and what you need the host to do. I’ll let you know if I’m available.
