Elio is a Chicago-based artist and DJ. They have been a percussionist, creative, and music lover their whole life. They began dancing at a young age, focusing primarily on tap dancing, hiphop, and street-styles. This training, as well as working in the rave, festival, and club scenes, has shaped their musical ear and passion for curating euphoric dance floor energy.
Raised on Earth, Wind, and Fire, the Talking Heads, and Beck, Elio weaves between vintage goodies and fresh tracks, keeping you locked in as they take you on a musical world tour. You might hear influences of disco, R&B, house, afrobeats, reggaeton, and pop while they are on the decks. While spinning from an eclectic collection, Elio finds the most joy in bringing people together on the dance floor, and is committed to collaborating with the happy couple to create the perfect vibe for their special day. When they are not DJing, they work as sculptor & installation artist, event producer, harm reductionist, and teacher. /
If you want someone to make your event pop, Elio is the person to choose, they bring a passion to everything they do. If you need someone to get things done and have a good time doing, they’re the best. The parties I’ve been to, arranged and hosted by them have been nothing but a blast, good music, great entertainment, the whole shebang! They would be my first choice to host a celebratory occasion of any kind!
