About

Music has been & always will be my biggest passion. I love everything about it, how a song makes you feel, or take you back to a certain place in time. I used to play in bands while growing up and see as much live music as I possibly can. From DJing in college on the school’s radio station I knew this was something I wanted to pursue more & more. Los Angeles, 2007 is where DJ T-Rex really formed. I took over a resident Sunday “80s night” from a friend at the Beauty Bar in Hollywood. From here I was asked to start doing parties & events. I was at the Beauty Bar and various other bars in Los Angeles until the fall of 2009 when I returned to Boston. After testing the waters at a few places in the city, I landed a resident Friday night “90s night” at 6B Lounge which started in the fall of 2010. For me, playing the music I grew up with 80s/90s is a real nostalgic treat. At this point I’ve since DJ’d several places across the country from NYC, Florida, California, & Chicago.

Weddings started in Los Angeles of 2009 when asked to DJ for some friends. Working weddings has become one of my favorite DJ experiences, sharing music from all genres and eras. I am a wedding DJ but not a typical “cheesy wedding DJ”. I put lots of time and take full pride into creating a custom playlist for each couple upon consultations and meetings months prior to the big day. I have couples provide mandatory must play along with must not play lists, to provide them them above and beyond the best music possible.

As of now I am doing 6B Lounge every Friday night for "90s Night". I am available for private parties, events, and of course weddings. Hope to work with you soon!

The Perfect DJ for Any Occasion

We’ve used Thomas for several events, and he has been fantastic every time. He is incredibly professional, always shows up prepared, and takes the time to meet in advance to understand the vision and tone of the event.
What really stands out is his ability to read the room. He does an amazing job matching the energy — getting the party started when it’s time to celebrate and seamlessly shifting to a more serious or meaningful tone when needed. Every detail we discussed in our pre-event meetings was thoughtfully incorporated, which made everything feel smooth and intentional.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone reliable, talented, and easy to work with!

Best DJ Experience Ever!

DJ T-REX was hands down the best DJ we’ve ever worked with! Thomas went above and beyond, even ordering custom turntables just for our event, which added such a unique touch. He arrived early to set up, ensuring everything was perfect from start to finish. The music was spot on, keeping the energy high and the crowd dancing all night. On top of being an incredible DJ, Thomas is an all-around great person—super professional, easy to work with, and genuinely passionate about what he does. We highly recommend DJ T-REX to anyone looking for an unforgettable event!

The Real Deal!

Thomas is incredible! Before getting to work with him, we were so worried about finding the right music balance for our wedding. There are just so many different generations and musical tastes to please, but Thomas absolutely nailed it! A ton of the people I've spoken with that attended our wedding specifically complimented our DJ. Thomas put in a lot of work beforehand to make sure he had an good grasp on what we liked and wanted to hear, but we also wanted to just let him run with things and I'm so glad we did! He had such a good grasp on the pulse of the wedding at all times. He kept the energy sky high, and built such a fun atmosphere for everyone in attendance. I'm so sincerely glad we went with Thomas for our wedding!

The best to work with!

Thomas was the absolute best to work with for our wedding! If you are looking for a DJ with extensive music knowledge and who can personalize your playlist, but also improv in the moment, look no further!

Leading up to our wedding, Thomas was incredibly generous with his time and was willing to meet, both over Zoom and in person over beers, to talk through music choices for all aspects of our wedding. He also provided a worksheet that was helpful for thinking this through, something we really appreciated.

We wanted a big dance party for our wedding, and that’s what we got! We heard from so many guests how much they loved our music and that credit goes to Thomas. Thank you Thomas for making our wedding such a fun and special day!

10/10 would hire again!

Hiring Thomas was such the best decision for our wedding! My husband and I met at a music festival, so we knew that music was going to be an important part of our day. Once we met with Thomas, we knew he was the perfect match to bring the soundtrack of our wedding to life. He was extremely knowledgeable of music, he communicated fantastically with all of our vendors, and asked the right questions to make the music run seamlessly that day. We loved his questionnaire which let us pick the songs we needed to hear (and just as important, the ones we did NOT want to hear), and stuck to that list. Picking music ended up being our favorite part of wedding planning! We not only walked away from our wedding thrilled with our night - we walked away with a newfound friendship in Thomas. 10/10!

Thomas is the best!!!

Thomas was the best DJ we could have imagined!!! He took a lot of time and effort to really get to know us and our music tastes. We didn't always make it easy for him (our Do Not Play List was EXTENSIVE), but he managed our preferences so well and played a mix of genres and artists that had a little something for everyone. He also included some traditional Portuguese music which meant a lot to me and my family. Everyone at our wedding from teenagers to 70-year-olds were raving about him, and that's hard to achieve! Thank you, Thomas, for making our wedding SO much fun and so effortless for us!

DJ Trex is amazing!

Thomas did an exceptional job as the DJ for our wedding. He got to know us and our taste in music, helped us pick out our songs, and made sure that the audio worked flawlessly for our ceremony. The dance floor stayed packed all night and everyone had a blast thanks to Thomas AKA DJ TRex.

Highly Recommend!

Are you trying to have the time of your life? Then, hire DJ T-REX to DJ your next event! We hired Tom, DJ T-REX, as our wedding DJ. We contacted all the preferred vendors on our venue’s list during our initial search for vendors. Jon Strader was not available for our wedding date, but he referred Tom to us, and we are so glad he did! We would not have met Tom otherwise. Surprisingly, my (now) husband and I felt that picking a DJ was one of the hardest vendors to choose from because they do not have a portfolio you can look at the way photographers, videographers, florists, and makeup artists do and unless you crash a wedding, it is difficult to hear them play. We were lucky to see Tom play at a local brewery and after meeting him in person, my husband and I knew we had to book him.


In preparation for the big day, Tom's ‘homework’ was super easy to fill out and so comprehensive that we heard the songs we requested all night long. Without listing too many songs on our homework sheet, we told Tom the styles of music and several artists we were looking for and Tom ran with it. Fast forward to our wedding night, Tom had everyone on the dance floor all night long – so much that we almost missed our last shuttle to the hotel! Not only did he do a great job with cocktail hour, formalities, and the dance party, but he also MC’d our centerpiece giveaway and photo dash (if you haven’t heard what this is, I highly recommend doing it – it’s a great quick way to get a photo of you with every guest without having to go table-to-table, providing more time for you and your new spouse to enjoy the dance floor and it’s super fun!). Tom is also great at feeling the room – playing for all age ranges and all music styles. We had a few slow songs and an anniversary dance planned, but we had such a wild crowd, that while jamming out together, Tom jumped right in with us and asked if he could keep the high energy going and nix the anniversary dance – we immediately agreed as we trusted his judgment. He also kept to our ‘do not play’ list even when we had guests request some songs on that list.


Tom went out of his way to develop a personal relationship with us leading up to the wedding, which made us more confident and comfortable with choosing him and made the night-of that much more amazing! My husband’s vendor-picking criteria was “Can I have a beer with this guy after the wedding?” and you definitely can with Tom! Tom is electric both on and off the job. We not only had a wonderful DJ for our wedding, but we have made good friends and cannot wait to watch as both of our families grow. We cannot recommend him enough!

DJ T-rex crushes!

Are you trying to have the time of your life? Then hire DJ T-rex to DJ your next event. We had him DJ our outdoor wedding of more than 200 people and he had everyone there dancing from start to finish. He was so good he had my uncle Ben dancing and he has no legs. He also went out of his way to develop a personal relationship with us leading up to the wedding which made it that much more incredible. If you dont have a great time at a DJ T-rex event it is without a doubt your fault. This man is electric, either hire him or be lame and boring the choice is yours. Choose fun choose DJ T-rex.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
