About

My DJ career started in 2003 after being continiously threatened to be kicked out of a Middle Eastern lounge for creating a dance floor where there wasn't one. A few weeks later, the owner asked me to DJ for him because I "know how to get the customers going." - his words, not mine. After 3 years of working the resident DJ, and a lot of support from my best friend, I started to DJ private functions such as weddings, engagements, holiday parties, etc.

My DJing style is client focused. This is not about me showing off my skills, but more about making my client's vision come to life through music. That means playing your favorite music to relive happy memories while creating new memories.

My music selection includes Arabic (Iraqi, Egyptian, Shami, Khaliji, etc.) Assyrian, Armenian, Indian, Pakistani, Afghan, Persian, Spanish, and English music.

I'm very fortunately to be able to share my love for music and cultures with my clients and loved ones.

I look forward to sharing your happy moments as well.

Truly,

DJ Ahmed

Awesome, as expected!

DJ Ahmed was awesome! We are a mixed Arab couple and he managed to play music from both cultures for our wedding. He utilized the right mix of must-haves from our playlist and his own selection. So many guests commented after the wedding that they wanted our playlist because they enjoyed the music so much. He was also able to pay attention to the crowd and knew how to respond to the vibe on the dance floor. He is super easy to work with and dependable and didn’t make any complaints while hauling his equipment in and out of the venue during a rainstorm! I highly recommend him!

Ahmed played an integral part of my wedding as the DJ on one of the most important days of my life. He was timely, courteous and professional and did an amazing job MC'ing my wedding reception. The music he played was great, he's been in the business long enough to know what we wanted after we provided him with a list of a few songs. He kept the night moving along smoothly, it felt like we had an extra family member/ wedding coordinator helping out with everything. Thanks again Ahmed for helping make that day amazing!

One of the best DJs out there! Quality of music is amazing! We got him for my sister’s wedding and from the time he started till the wedding was over everyone was on the dance floor! He was very flexible with meeting with us prior to and allowing us to choose the songs we wanted.....and knew exactly our style of music and added more! Equipment/sound was perfect for the hall we had at the Fairmont SF! The wedding guests loved him too because he was very fun and friendly! He pumped up the crowd! DJ Ahmed is my favorite!!!

When it came time for my wedding, I knew I wanted only the best - DJ Ahmed. Over the past 10+ years, he has DJed my and family's graduation parties, engagements, and other celebrations. I knew better than to trust anyone else with my special day. Ahmed played a variety of cultural songs that spanned both my and my husband's families, meeting with us several times before to ensure we were comfortable and confirmed to us that he doesn't miss any detail. The one word I can think of for my wedding -- FUN -- Ahmed is the major reason why. He is beyond personable, organized, impeccably dressed, talented as hell, and will win over the hearts and dancing feet of all your guests - from babies to grandmas!

He's amazing! Takes requests, takes EVERYONE into account (music appropriate for all ages attending) and he's the best freaking dancer! He is NOT just a DJ, he brings the party.

We had the pleasure of having Dj Ahmed spin his genius unique fusion of middle-eastern/hip hop/pop at our engagement party. Dance floor was packed with everyone who had a pulse that night.
Aside from the talent DJ Ahmad has with the ability to feel and embrace his crowd and attune to their personalities, likes, style, he’s always upbeat and positive. Amazing energy from beginning to end. He’s got a smile that is contagious and genuine and he’s just so easy to talk to and share ideas with.
You don’t have a real party unless the music is run by Dj Ahmad - NO JOKE! Hands down the best in the Bay Area and quite frankly the state.
100% satisfaction guaranteed this DJ GOD doesn’t disappoint!

DJ Ahmed is professional, he knows his Arabic music well and made my In-laws/ family happy. He is a kind person as well and someone I would keep in touch with for life. I would totally recommend him. He also plays other types of music as well. He is good at listening to whatever your needs are for the event and making it happen. People will be on the dance floor thats for sure!
