"DJing is a thoroughly intuitive activity ruled by improvisation, emotions, and a profound understanding of what makes people tick...a great DJ thinks carefully about the time, the place, and the people in front of them, to choose something that's perfect."1
Who's That DJ , based out of Los Angeles, is a professional mobile DJ company which accommodates any type of event. Founder, Matt Gudis, had a vision when he launched his company in 2001. His vision was to create a company that focused on the two most important and surprisingly overlooked aspects of a DJ's job- the client and the music. With this simplistic approach in mind, Matt recruited and trained other DJs in the area and has built his company around the standard of quality, experience, and professionalism. Since 2001, Who's That DJ has grown to become one of the most sought after, premier DJ companies in Southern California. Now an industry leader, Matt and his team of DJs have performed for thousands of satisfied clients for all types of occasions spreading throughout the United States.
What separates us from other DJ companies is our ability to adapt to a wide variety of different party atmospheres, while maintaining close attention to detail throughout the party process. We are sensitive to each client's specific needs and realize that each event is not about us- it is about creating an unforgettable time for our clients and their guests. The bottom line is that we are in this business because we love people and we love music. Sure, most DJs essentially do the same thing-spin records and entertain a crowd- but it's how we do it that makes the difference. We always let our experience, talent and passion for music speak for itself. We are confident you will see the difference when choosing Who's That DJ. Thanks for taking the time to visit our site!

DAVID WACHS, DJ/MC

Since becoming a DJ/MC in 2001, David has performed for over 500 bar/bat mitzvahs, weddings, and various private parties.

His ability to entertain all age groups while always having a smile on his face has helped him stand out above the rest.

As Nikki reached her teen years, she developed a passion for swing dancing and began teaching swing at local high schools. She has maintained a strong background in hip-hop and swing, but she is known to engage in any form of dance- as long as there is a beat. Nikki loves working private parties, whether it involves getting the dance floor going at a bar mitzvah or hula-dancing on a yacht for a 50th wedding anniversary. She is one of our most sought after dancers and she's always up for a high energy crowd that's ready to have fun!

Upon graduating, Amanda incorporated her love and appreciation for dance with her engaging personality when she worked at an after school program for children and taught them jazz and hip-hop. Amanda once again finds herself performing and she loves it. She is requested for many private parties because of her ability to keep the partygoers engaged and entertained.
