About DJ Kelli

As a native to the Pacific Northwest, DJ Kelli has been a DJ in the Seattle area since 2008. First beginning as a karaoke host in downtown Seattle at the Hulu Hulu bar, DJ Kelli now primarily focuses on DJing Weddings, Private Parties, and Corporate Events - though still does karaoke from time to time. DJ Kelli studied audio engineering at the Art Institute of Seattle, loves to sing, and plays in numerous bands as the drummer.

DJ Kelli has a passion for DJing weddings and commonly says that the Bride/Groom/Spouses/event planner and them become best friends by the end of the evening. Their favorite thing is when they can help a night run super smooth and anticipate things occurring before they happen - and of course when the guests dance all night long and have a great time! DJ Kelli often tells their manager, Dale, that "they never thought they would find a career that they loved, but with DJing it actually came!”
