Tristan (DJ 9-Volt) always gets a little extra excited when he gets to spin a Filipino wedding, mostly because he knows line dances like The Wobble and The Cupid Shuffle will be fair game. (He’s both Filipino and a sucker for a line dance.)

By day, Tristan is an IT Project Manager and a proud graduate of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Tristan is our resident road warrior, traveling as far as the Philippines and Sevilla, Spain—which was his fave gig to DJ, not only was the groom a close friend, but the location provided the perfect backdrop to propose to his wife, Megan.

Tristan loves spinning weddings, but he’s had some pretty cool opportunities to spin for parties hosted by Food Network stars like Giada De Laurentis, Jet Tila, Duff Goldman, Anne Burrell and Christina Tosi as part of the Food Network Wine and Food Festival. He’s spun for non-profit organizations like APIA Vote at the 2016 DNC in Philadelphia and at the Ascend National Conference in DC. He has opened for DJ Ruckus and Rev Run. And he’s spun VIP parties for Bruno Mars, The Who, Marc Anthony, Coldplay, and the Washington Commanders

If given a choice, Tristan will default to a mix of 90’s Hip Hop and R&B, but with a resume like his, you can be sure that he’ll bring the right mix of music for you and your guests.

In his spare time, Tristan loves to read comic books—Marvel over DC, Avengers over Justice League, X-Men above all else—and uses his long drives traveling for gigs to listen to real books on Audible.
