Meet Jonny Risk
Your people. Your soundtrack. My passion.
I’m Jonny, a U.S. Air Force veteran and open-format DJ with 15 years of real-world DJ experience. My journey has taken me through Miami, Las Vegas, Dallas, and Japan, and today I call Southern California home.
I’ve played everything from bars, nightclubs, restaurants, and lounges to weddings, private celebrations, corporate events, and high-profile celebrity events. What connects it all is my love for finding the right song for the people in front of me.
Experience you can feel. Attention you deserve.
When you invite me to DJ your wedding, you’re getting the experience I’ve built playing at Disney, in high-end nightclubs, and at venues including Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach and Balboa Bay Resort. I’ve DJed a private party for Selena Gomez, played alongside Shaboozey, and opened for BLACKPINK and Anderson .Paak.
I bring that same preparation, versatility, and attention to your celebration—knowing when to build the energy, when to let a meaningful moment breathe, and how to bring different generations onto the dance floor. It’s an honor to be part of a day that means so much to you, and I take the time to understand what will make it yours.
Your celebration starts long before the first song.
“I’m not a four-hour or six-hour DJ. I’m a 40-hour DJ.”
That’s how I think about the care that goes into your wedding. The hours you see me behind the decks are only part of the work. Before the day arrives, I’m getting to know your musical taste, preparing your key moments, and shaping a set around you and your guests. I put that time in so that when the celebration begins, you can relax, be present, and enjoy what we’ve created together.
“Preparation is the key to my success. The better prepared I am, the more freedom I have to adapt.”
My military background and years of DJing have taught me to prepare thoroughly and stay flexible. That preparation helps me stay calm when the timeline shifts, change direction when the crowd responds, and recognize when an unexpected song is exactly what the moment needs. For you, that means a DJ who arrives with a plan and knows how to adjust it as your celebration unfolds.
A sound that’s yours.
My style spans decades and genres—from nostalgic favorites to today’s Top 40, across pop, hip-hop, house, Latin, R&B, country, and beyond. I blend edits, remixes, and mashups with the familiar songs people love, shaping each set around your taste and the energy in the room.
Your wedding brings families, cultures, and generations together. I want the music to give them a place to connect, whether it’s a song your parents grew up with or one you and your friends know by heart.
On the mic, my approach is to make it feel like I’m already part of the family: welcoming your guests, getting them excited, and reminding everyone of the love that brought them together. I’m also bilingual, so I can bring that into the hosting whenever you need it.
