At Green Line Talent, we believe you don't need to resort to line dances or inflatable props to pack a dance floor, no matter how diverse the crowd. Whether you are working with one of our DJs, or live musicians, we will spend time with you one-on-one to get to know your personal style and vision, and help you brainstorm a game plan for the picture-perfect result. Depending on your taste and preference, we will set you up with a DJ or musician that will be dedicated specifically to your event from start to finish. And although we like to think we have a knack for throwing a great party, we still know how to cross our Ts and dot our Is in the office.

Five years ago I was busy working in HR sales in Chicago, while my sister Elissa was paving a career as a private event DJ in NYC. This was no surprise to our parents, who have witnessed us playing complementary roles throughout our history: me, the business-minded task-master who's always managed to turn family vacations into a laminated itinerary of adventures, and Elissa, the creative rule-breaker who actually once convinced her high school statistic professor to let her submit an original ukulele performance in lieu of participating in the final exam.
Despite our different life paths, we have always been close, and have somehow managed to communicate multiple times a day, even while living in different cities. When a close family friend of ours got engaged and invited Elissa to stand up in her wedding, (effectively forbidding Elissa to DJ the big event), we began searching for a DJ who would offer the same top-shelf entertainment experience my sister was becoming known for providing to her clients on the east coast. It didn't take long to realize what a tricky task this would be, as we found the majority of the mobile DJs to be, ahem, lacking taste and style to put it lightly.
It was then my business instincts kicked into gear, and an epiphany struck: Chicago needed a fresh new outlet for talent booking - one which offered the five-star support and good taste to the private event world. And this is how Green Line Talent was born! When my husband and I relocated to the Austin, TX area, we started our second branch. The rest is history!

ABOUT OUR DJS
We only hire music buffs at GLT, so you will definitely be in the right hands with our squad. All of our DJs read the crowd to help maximize the overall energy level for your event. We make it a priority to mix live, and not just "press play," making each event a dynamic and interactive experience. Our DJs really get to know you and your crowd, so we can intelligently choose the right songs for the right moment, and keep the right pace, without having to resort to orchestrating line dances, or hogging the mic. This is your show, not ours, and we are just here to frame your perfect occasion. MEET OUR DJs.
ABOUT OUR LIVE MUSICIANS
Our live musicians wow us each and every day with their skill set, adaptability, and passion. Whether you want sweet and low-down piano jazz for your cocktail hour, bossa nova guitar for your dinner, or a shimmery ukulele solo for your processional, we are here to design the perfect repertoire for your event. Our current instrument roster includes guitar, piano, cello, violin, ukulele, and more! MEET OUR MUSICIANS.
