Elio is a Chicago-based rhythm-obsessed artist and DJ. They have been a percussionist, creative, and music lover their whole life. Elio 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. /
Elio was an absolutely fantastic addition to our small wedding and I genuinely can't picture what the night would have been like without them! They were highly communicative and easy to work with throughout the whole process. They were able to take the general music framework we provided and run with it, all while reading the room at the same time. I would absolutely recommend them for any event, big or small. Thank you, Elio!!
