About

Tessa is the founder of the female DJ collective Prism DJs. She has been DJing in Los Angeles since 2010, getting her start at the Viper Room in Hollywood and Wurstküche in Downtown Los Angeles. Since then, Tessa has become one of the most sought-after DJs for corporate events and weddings.

Growing up in Reno, Nevada in the 90s while working in old-school music shops like The Wherehouse and frequenting Tower Records, Tessa was absorbing and collecting music since a teenager. It was only a matter of time before she took that music collection and made it a career. As a teen, her favorite genres were underground hip-hop, alternative, and classic rock. Time went on and she began to gain an appreciation for all forms of music. Now, Tessa plays everything from eclectic, indie dance, nudisco, EDM, house, classic rock, classic hip-hop, to mainstream/top 40, and anything in between to keep your dance floor moving.

Recent notable clients include Flipagram, Ticketmaster/Live Nation, Inner City Arts, Movember Foundation, Elle Magazine, New Balance, Hilton Worldwide, Madewell, Benefit Cosmetics, Wolfgang Puck Catering, plus many more. You can find her DJing regularly at STK in West Beverly Hills, Magnolia House Pasadena, and Wurstküche in DTLA Arts District to name a few.

Amazing DJ!

Can't say enough great things about DJ Tessa! We had Tessa DJ our LA wedding and it was so much fun - multiple people asked us how we picked out such a great playlist, we told them it was just Tessa picking the tracks! We loved that it was so easy to coordinate with her for the exact songs for the wedding ceremony and for the rest of the night Tessa played the most perfect songs catered to the demographics of the people on the dance floor and the mood and energy as it shifted throughout the night. It was just seamless and effortless for us. Can't thank her enough and would recommend her and her team for anyone's wedding.

Tessa is wonderful! She made everything perfect. She did my wedding at Edgewood in Lake Tahoe on 2/18/14. We were so lucky to find her. She is based in Los Angeles and went above and beyond to be able to do our wedding in Lake Tahoe. Everyone had a great time and loved her!!!! She played every song we wanted. We like a huge variety of music like Jazz, R&B, Neo Soul, Classic Rock, Rock, Top 40, Hip Hop/Rap, Dance, Reggae, and Alternative. She knew every song we wanted. She knew the right time to play each type of genre. She created our timeline for the wedding and made sure all vendors were on the same page. She made sure to communicate with us throughout the night to keep us posted on what will happen next. As a bride and groom can forget things and time with all the excitement. She is the nicest person you will ever meet. You would be stupid not to hire her for your big event!!!

DJ Tessa was so great to meet up with us before the event weeks in advance to go over music as well as taking suggestions that we had. She has amazing taste in music and knows how to mix her own style into whatever we has requested. She arrived on time-- even 20 minutes earlier to make sure everything was working appropriately. We had many celebrity guests including cast members from Napoleon Dynamite, Tori and Dean Homesweet Hollywood, Pretty Little Liars, Big Time Rush, and Days of Our lives-- who all had great things to say about how the music coincided with the ambiance. Tessa was amazing and our first Launch Party for Stacy Sterling Jewelry wouldn't have been a hit without her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
