Who We Are

About
South Bay

Music has always been the soundtrack of Albert Lao's life — from his parents' vinyl in Torrance to a career spent on Gulf Coast dance floors.

Built On
Dance Floors


Playing with his parents' records in Torrance, California turned into DJing bars and nightclubs through college, then an internship at a record label that moved him to New York for marketing work, and eventually to the Gulf Coast.

Since then it's been weddings, charity galas, corporate rooms, and nightlife across the country — with an eclectic taste that makes moving between all of it inside one set feel natural.

Off the clock: basketball, and two French bulldogs named Wasabi and Ginger who are, for the record, enormous Lakers fans.

In Their Words


“Not only did he have everyone on the dance floor at our reception, he made a mix of my father’s singing into our first dance song as a surprise. One of the most special parts of that day.”

Lydia M.

“A few things were thrown at Al during our day and he handled all of it professionally and with ease. His positive attitude and professionalism would have us book him for any future event.”

Sandel C.

“Kind, efficient, answered all of our questions, and had amazing recommendations. More like a friend than a business transaction — we even booked him again for my sister’s wedding.”
