ARTISTIC INFLUENCES: The Beatles, Ben Folds, Arcade Fire, Daft Punk, Lizzo 💪 LOW-KEY FLEX: Plays piano and ukulele at speakeasies downtown, and toured, music directed, and taught, for the Second City! NICHE: Helping clients be their most silly and fun selves when dancing. The group really dictates the type of music I play, so the genres really can shift quite a lot from wedding to wedding, but the songs I’m going to select are usually in the realm of getting people to let loose in a fun way! 💃 FUN FACT: I write comedy songs ! |

Griffo is a Chicago-based DJ, musician, and comedian, whose solo work has been described as what would happen "if Ben Folds and Flight of the Concords had a lovechild." His unique sense of levity and performance instincts render his musical performances infectious, and give him that special knack for reading a crowd, and keeping dancefloors packed.
Griffo has been featured on FunnyorDie, YouTube, and Buzzfeed, and the Chicago Sun Times described his one-man show as “both toe-tapping and rib-tickling”. A former Musical Director of Second City, he’s performed for the Deltones at iO Chicago, was in the original cast of Second City’s musical comedy group “Infinite Sundaes”, and at the Black Box Comedy Festival Atlanta, LA Comedy Festival, Milwaukee Comedy Festival, Big Little Comedy Fest Cleveland, Chicago Sketchfest, The Laugh Factory Chicago, and the Charleston Comedy Festival, and opened for Reggie Watts. Over the last decade, Matt has has DJed over 500 weddings, and tickled the ivories at too many shows to count. When he's not out in the field DJing and performing, Matt loves sharing his skills as a teacher. /
We used Green Line Talent to book the DJ for our wedding. The company was so unbelievably helpful and responsive to all of our questions. They paired us with DJ Griffo, and we are so glad they did! Griffo was extremely knowledgeable and very good at his craft. He talked with us several time before the big day. He helped us tweak and finalize our timeline, which proved to be very beneficial. From cocktail to the final song, he played all the right selections and had the dance floor full all night! People were still talking about him at our family parties months later! He even went out of his way to check in with us multiple times throughout the night and always made sure we had a drink in our hands. Can not recommend him enough!
