just a regular guy who’s in it for the music…
Hello! My name is KASHIF (pronounced KAA-SHIF), but I mostly go by KASH. Growing up in a strict South-Asian/immigrant family, I was expected to take the traditional path of pursuing a “safe career”. However, I was always more interested in music and art, which was something that was not well-received by my dad. Yup! Good luck trying to imagine a South-Asian dad reacting towards his son wanting to pursue anything related to art or music LoL…
Music for me has always been a way to escape reality, and the art of DJ-ing came naturally. It became a powerful tool for me to cope with the challenging times of my life in my twenties. I remember vividly the year 2009, when I was buried under student loans and struggling to find balance between school, work, and social life. It was a period of intense stress and pressure, and I felt like I was living a life that was not my own. After experiencing a heartbreak, I took a brave decision of taking a couple of semesters off, and focused more on doing things that made me happier. Through the art of DJ-ing, I found a way to express my creativity, and it created a sense of purpose that had been missing from my life.
In 2010, at 23, I bought my first DJ setup on Amazon and started teaching myself the craft. At first, it was just a hobby — but as my skills grew, word spread, and bookings started coming in. I used those earnings to help pay my way through college. One of the biggest challenges of my life came in 2018, when I lost my father to cancer. Even during that difficult time, I pushed myself to finish my bachelor’s degree before he passed. Knowing he lived to see me graduate is a memory I’ll always cherish.
Over the past decade, I’ve held various corporate roles — but DJing has always been my true passion. It inspires me every day because I see how music brings people together. I believe we’re all a work in progress, each on our own timeline, handling life’s ups and downs in our own way. That’s why I approach every event — and every client — with kindness, respect, and gratitude. Being a wedding DJ has given me the opportunity to meet incredible people from all walks of life and all cultures. Every couple I work with teaches me something new and helps me grow, both as a DJ and as a person. My goal is simple: to give you and your guests a positive, unforgettable experience — one you’ll remember fondly long after the last song plays.
Mastering any craft takes countless hours, late nights, and a relentless drive to improve — and being a wedding DJ is no exception. I know firsthand the physical and mental effort it takes to plan and deliver each event flawlessly. Even with the challenges, I find joy in the creative process and feel truly honored when couples trust me with one of the most important days of their lives. Looking back, I never imagined I’d become a DJ. It took courage to believe in myself and take that first step toward turning my passion for music into a career. The journey hasn’t always been easy, but I’m grateful for every experience, every lesson, and every opportunity to grow. I love blending my mixing and MC skills to keep guests engaged and entertained — and I take pride in helping my clients create memories that last a lifetime. My goal is always to leave a positive impact, one celebration at a time.
