DJ CHRIS OBANDO
DUAL TALENT BILINGUAL SPANISH MC AND DYNAMIC PARTY DJ.
Chris’ love of music began when he was a boy being inspired from both of his grandfathers, who were accomplished musicians in their native Costa Rica. They both gave him the ambition to learn how to play an instrument at the age of 9; to which he began playing the alto saxophone.
Classically trained, Chris has played in concert, jazz, and marching bands in high school and at West Virginia University. He earned many accolades as a solo musician and collectively with his fellow peers. He majored in civil engineering at WVU and still chose to play in “The Pride of West Virginia”, The Mountaineer Marching Band.
After graduating from WVU, Chris put down his saxophone and entered the real world as an engineer working for a private firm. Although he found his career very rewarding, music kept calling back to him. He knew that soon enough the urge to return to music would be too great to ignore.
When Chris was presented with the opportunity to learn to become a DJ, he jumped at the chance without hesitation. Although he had never operated DJ equipment, he was eager to master it much like learning a new instrument. With his classical music training and overall knowledge of musical genres, the transition to becoming a DJ came naturally.
From private events to having a few nightlife residencies at venues like Porta Asbury Park, Asbury Ale House, Boathouse, Donovan’s Reef, Cuzin’s, Metro Cafe, The Shore House, and many more – Chris continues to take his craft to new levels while offering SCE couples, companies and clients an amazing service loaded with value and fun.

What People Are Saying
“We picked Chris Obando to DJ our wedding and he was amazing. My in laws speak Spanish and I wanted to make sure I had someone who could translate if needed but also play some popular Spanish song. Not only did Chris play Spanish songs, he played country music as well for me and I truly, truly appreciate it. Chris also brought flags that represented both of our ethnicities and I thought that was such a personal touch. He made sure everything was perfect leading up to the wedding and I would recommend him to anyone. Our dance floor was packed from the beginning of the night to the end of the night with all ages on the dance floor, and that’s all I ever wanted. Thank you to SCE but most importantly thank you to Chris for making our night that amazing!.”

“SCE Event Group / Chris Obando made all of our wedding dreams come true. This is not your average "DJ" These are Event Hosts that MAKE the party happen... and KEEP the party going. From the moment I walked up and Saw Chris with a smile on his face until the very last song our day was perfect. My family and friends couldn’t believe how great the music was and how interactive with the crowd Chris was. The energy and the vibe just made my guests have the best night. Key notes: Communication was consistent and prompt according to our schedule, Communicated with ALL of my vendors and venue reps, and had little surprises for me throughout the night that just made me feel so special. Thank you SO much, I will HIGHLY recommend SCE to family and friends.”
