Stephen

Stephen started as a trumpeter before moving into music composition and recording.  He spent years as a casual DJ before joining Music By Design. While Stephen’s not partial to any one genre of music, he says he finds himself leaning toward music that get’s each particular crowd moving. Feeling the vibe of each crowd is the best way to fill up the dance floor. Stephen’s also a skilled bowler – he even attended college on a bowling scholarship. When he’s not throwing balls or playing records, you’ll likely find him keeping in shape with a pair of roller skates (old-school quad skates only, of course).

“I’m just so in love with music as an art. Some DJs like to group songs by genre – say, starting with Oldies and saving modern music for later in the evening. That’s a starting point, but I really love to bounce between older songs and newer songs if they have the same feel or vibe. Samples and chord progressions are often the same across eras, and mixing it up is a way to get all ages on the dance floor and keep delighting people with what they hear next.”
