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.
Meet DJ Chris Obando…
“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.” – Jack M.
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, corporate marquee events like Saturday Night Live, to having a few nightlife residencies at venues like Porta Asbury Park, Teak, Donovan’s Reef, One Willow, Orchard Park, 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.
