JONATHAN SILVA

Born in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Jonathan Silva has always had a passion for music since the day he was born. His career started at a young age and continues to excel throughout the years. At the age of 14 he was exposed to his first live DJ and from that moment he knew that was exactly what he wanted to do. Within that week he got together a radio, CD player, and a belt driven turntable and began his ever growing journey. At the age of 15 Jonathan had saved up money and bought used Gemini DJ gear. After hours in the basement, he taught himself how to mix, and began understanding the importance of tempo and timing. Within that year, Jonathan was hired at a DJ company where he would DJ all types of events. Working for this company helped build the DJ that he is today. He learned programming, how to read a crowd and their body language, setting up equipment, working with clients, formatting, and learned about all the different genres of music. This year also marked his first bar job in Northeast Philadelphia (he was only 15!). He remained at the bar for the next two and a half years then moved on to another bar located in Feasterville, PA for the next year and a half. Working at these two bars allowed Jonathan to work with all genres of music and molded him into a well rounded DJ. In 2006, at the age of 19, Jonathan landed his first party in center city DJing along side DJ Robbie Tronco. The party was a huge success with over 700 people in attendance. This was his first taste into Philadelphia's nightlife and he wanted more. Jonathan, being goal oriented and ambitious, has achieved many things since then and continues to do so. He has DJed at some of the biggest venues in the area: Lounge 125, Pearl, Prive, Red Sky, Octo, and G lounge, to name a few. He has also ventured into AC DJing at the House of Blues and will have his debut at the Chelsea Hotel at the end of August. Today, Jonathan is at the top of his ever-growing career. His passion for DJing and music continues to grow. With his great taste in music and the variety he brings to the dance floor, checking out one of his events is a must! You will not be dissappointed.
