Darryl "DMC" McDaniel

Founder & Lead DJ

Hi, I'm Darryl — but you can call me DJ DMC.

I started DJing because I have a genuine love of music — and an even greater passion for serving others. For me, being a DJ is about more than playing songs. It's about reading the room, controlling the energy, and creating an experience that feels exactly right for your event.

Based in the DMV and available worldwide, I work directly with hosts, couples, organizations, and event professionals who want their entertainment to be intentional, personalized, and unforgettable.

Your event. Your vision. My job — and my team's job — is to bring it to life.

DJ Taz — versatile, present, and ready

DJ Taz is a DMV based DJ known for her versatility, presence, and ability to connect with any crowd. Her experience has taken her from private and corporate events to high profile settings, including DJing for Grammy nominated R&B artist Ari Lennox.

With a sound that moves across Hip-Hop, R&B, Afrobeats, Dancehall, House, Go-Go, and throwbacks, DJ Taz brings a wide musical range and an instinct for knowing exactly what the moment calls for. She doesn't just come with a set playlist, she reads the room, adjusts to the energy, and creates an experience that feels natural from beginning to end.

Whether she's setting the tone for an upscale event, bringing energy to a celebration, or keeping a crowd moving late into the night, DJ Taz approaches every event with the same level of confidence, professionalism, and attention to the crowd.

With a growing presence throughout the DMV and beyond, DJ Taz has established herself as a DJ who can step into any room, understand the assignment, and deliver.
