Your next event Should be with this DJ

10/10 recommend Jalen DJ Henny to DJ your next event.
He DJ’d my wedding and from start to finish the dance floor was a packed with people. 95% of the party was on the floor the entire night. I got an unbelievable amount of compliments on the music. He is a class act when preparing for your Event too. He made sure everything ran smoothly and he coordinated with the videographer, photographer, and wedding planner so we simply could just enjoy the night!!

Jalen helped make our wedding night a memorable one!!

Business Owner / DJ

I'm Jalen Henningsen, your DJ rooted in Storm Lake, Iowa, now bringing the hometown warmth to Des Moines. Music has been my lifelong companion, guiding me through every emotion. Back in elementary school, I was already known for crafting the perfect playlists and burning CDs for friends—music, for me, is a unifier.

Sports have always been a cornerstone of my life—especially football. As a proud Minnesota Vikings fan, game days are a sacred tradition for me. I intimately know the rush of the field from my college days at Buena Vista University. Being a 3x all-conference selection, I brought dedication and passion to the gridiron. Now, that same energy fuels the beats I craft for your events, infusing your celebrations with the competitive spirit that defined my time on the field.

From the heart of Storm Lake to the beats of Des Moines, my journey as a DJ has been a melody of connections. Every year, I bring the rhythm to the Member Guest golf tournament at Lake Creek Country Club, creating an atmosphere that elevates the experience for all. My roots run deep at Alta Aurelia High School, where I return to spin tunes that bridge the gap between nostalgia and celebration.

While Des Moines is my current stage, my heart frequently returns to my hometown, where it all began. Music has been my vehicle to connect, not just with the notes but with the people and places that make Storm Lake special. As your DJ, I bring that same sense of connection to every event—whether it's a vibrant celebration in Des Moines or a hometown gathering in Storm Lake.

Let's make music that resonates not only with the beats but with the shared memories of our communities.
