Leo James
Leo James grew up in Santa Cruz, CA. He attended Sonoma State University for Communications and later earned a Bachelor of Applied Science Degree in Sound Arts at Expression College for the Digital Arts in Emeryville, CA. While still in college, he began working as an Audio Visual technician, providing lighting, sound and video for corporate events and conventions at large, up-scale venues in San Francisco and the East Bay.
Leo grew up surrounded by music. His parents had a diverse collection of vinyl ranging from David Bowie, James Brown, The Beatles, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, The Skatalites, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Marley and more. Being surrounded by such a wide range of genres made Leo a lover of many types of music.
He started DJing in his hometown in 2009, playing bars, nightclubs, house parties, and warehouses mainly spinning electronic music like house, bass music/dubstep and downtempo.
He prides himself on his skill to read a dance floor and curate a DJ set that fits the vibe in the room. He often bounces around genres to keep things fresh, and you will often see him dancing with a huge smile while he is on the decks.
With hundreds of successful weddings, social and corporate events under his belt, Leo has earned a name in Wine Country and the greater Bay Area as one of the top DJs to create a warm musical ambiance and engage audiences.
On his free time he produces hip hop, house and bass music in his home recording studio, trains Muay Thai kickboxing, goes hiking, backpacking or camping, or just barbecues in his backyard and relaxes with his wife, daughter and son. He has a soft spot for a summer pool party on a sunny day while playing funky house tracks.
Born in San Francisco and raised in Northern California, John has always been a huge fan of the Bay Area music and club scene. John prides himself on being a club style DJ and typically mixes many different genres into one cohesive dance set to keep dance floors moving all night.
With over 13 years of DJ experience, John is very much at home entertaining wedding, corporate, private and club events. John also provides emcee services that are polished and purposeful so that guests stay informed.
When not working DJ events, John enjoys producing promotional mixes for his SoundCloud page to listeners worldwide. John’s strengths come from connecting with people musically both live and worldwide via his energy packed studio mixes he shares with a vast and growing global audience.
John’s mixes have been featured on radio stations in Chicago and Los Angeles and John’s work also fuels workouts for listeners on the FitRadio app. John believes his best asset as a DJ is his ability to share
and receive energy from his audience which usually contributes to an unforgettable experience for clients and guests.

Micah Perrin
Since 2008, Micah (DJ Theodore White/@saintrosedisco) has been creating soundscapes at a wide variety of events, from car shows and private parties to bars, wineries and weddings.
DJing began as a creative outlet and an extension of his love of music and dance, inspired by friends in the Seattle nightlife scene. Born in the Philippines, and growing up in New Orleans and Seattle in the 90s and 2000s, early influences from hip hop, R&B, and jazz expanded into a deeper understanding and appreciation of soul, funk, disco and electronic music (especially house!).
What Micah brings to each and every event is a personalized and thoughtful approach to the music based on intuition, years of experience, and your input.
Micah earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Washington and is also a certified yoga instructor and personal trainer. Hobbies include biking, hiking, cooking, dancing, birdwatching, and gardening.

Jenn Tran is a Bay Area native who has always had a love for music. Her journey with music started as a young girl. Her family had a karaoke machine, and she would come home from elementary school to sing “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” by WHAM and “Old MacDonald Had a Farm” (granted, she can’t sing to save her life). As she got older, she started recording music from the radio onto cassette tapes and burning CDs to give to friends and family.
Jenn’s interest in DJing began when her sister’s friend, who later became a famous alternative group DJ, piqued her curiosity. She had her first opportunity to try DJing using vinyl in 2007. She was tasked with mixing a Warren G song with “Drop It Like It’s Hot”. It was extremely challenging, and during the 30-minute session, she thought she would never DJ again. However, during the pandemic in 2020, she lived in a house full of DJs and decided to pick it up again. She hasn’t looked back since and is thrilled to be a part of the Techtonic team, where she can continue to learn from some of the best in the industry.
Jenn is a techie by day and currently resides in San Mateo, CA. She enjoys spending her free time with friends, family, and her dog, Splash. She is a dedicated Golden State Warriors fan and loves to experience the world through traveling. Jenn is constantly expanding her music library and can’t wait to share them with you on the dance floor.
