Pronouns: he/him

Most people claim to have diverse taste in music, but Chris really puts his money where his mouthpiece is (this is a woodwind joke, it'll make sense in a second). Not only is he a graduate of the Berklee College of Music, but he has played saxophone in hip hop groups, reggae bands, salsa bands and was even in a Tower of Power cover band in Boston for years. He has toured China and Europe in Jazz ensembles. He even…are you sitting down?…he even played with John Oates from Hall & Oates! I CAN go for that, YES can do! When not DJing or saxing it up, Chris loves national parks, Marvel movies, any and all Cleveland sports teams, and hanging out with his amazing fiancée (she’s a ballerina!). He is also the Studio Manager of a non-profit community music education program.

“Chris came in at the last minute to save our event! His flexibility and creative DJ solutions ensured the speaking program went off without a hitch. Not to mention, the curated music playlist kept our guest grooving along the whole time. We will definitely be contacting Chris and the Toast and Jam team for our next fundraising event!”

“There aren't enough words to express how absolutely wonderful it was working with Chris. From the beginning he made the entire process extremely seamless. He answered every one of our questions and was able to accommodate our special requests. On our wedding day Chris absolutely nailed it out of the park. We were so happy to get him out on the floor with us playing saxophone and creating just a fun and awesome environment. All of our guests commented on how they loved that the dance floor was…”

“Chris rocked our worlds!!! DJs can make or break a wedding, so going into planning we were pretty nervous about this decision. Our Coordinator recommended Toast & Jam and boy are we glad she did. From our first meeting with Chris we knew we were in good hands. He was able to effortlessly blend our wildly eclectic music tastes and hyper-specific cultural songs without batting an eye. He also smoothly MC'd the whole night. At least 50 of our guests have told us that he was the best wedding DJ…”

“Chris was amazing throughout the entire planning process! His attention to detail was awesome. He made sure to chat with us several times before our reception to ensure the songs we wanted were played. He did a wonderful job feeling out the crowd and determining what to play next - great intuition! Thank you so much, Chris, would recommend you to anyone!”
