ABOUT
Hailing straight from the streets of San Diego, CA, DJ Y’z has been rockin’ stages, cookin’ up beats, and spinning tracks since flip phones were a flex. With over 20 years in the game, he first stepped on the scene as a rapper with bars sharp enough to slice through weak verses, and a producer who could turn your voicemail into a platinum record.
But it wasn’t long before he found his true groove behind the decks. Once he touched the turntables, it was a wrap — the mic took a backseat and DJing became the mission. From dusty crates to digital digs, Y’z is a student of Hip Hop Culture in its rawest, realest form. You won’t catch him chasing trends — he sets ’em, spinning with soul, skill, and a side of controlled chaos.
Beyond the music, Y’z is for the people. He’s about building, not just beats, but community. Whether he’s rockin’ a block party, teaching kids how to scratch, or schooling young bloods on what real Hip Hop sounds like, he stays rooted in his motto: “As I Learn, I Teach.” Because to him, wisdom ain’t meant to be hoarded — it’s meant to be passed down like your grandma’s cornbread recipe.
When he’s not behind the booth or in the lab, you’ll probably find him somewhere debating why ‘90s Hip Hop is undefeated, sipping on horchata, and side-eyeing anyone who calls DJing “just pressing play.”

TESTIMONIALS
"Where to start?! Not only did he come earlier than he needed to on the day of the wedding to make sure everything worked out great, but he also came to the rehearsal and cared about every detail. We had a blast dancing all night with family and friends. He was professional, of excellent quality, and had great taste in music! Lol. 10 out of 10!"

"The night was absolutely phenomenal! Not only was the music exactly what we were looking for but the curated vibe and setup transformed the evening completely into a night of fun - getting everyone on the dance floor. Our dance floor was so full it over poured off of it."

"Dj Y’z, did a great job DJing at a wedding I was a guest at. He had an awesome variety in his music but also incorporated and listened to what guests wanted as well. He did a wonderful job keeping the dance floor fun when it was time. And also setting the mood for the room as well. I would highly recommend him for your event!"
