Dylan Mckeon

– Managing Director

Dylan Mckeon

Dylan discovered his passion for music and events at a very young age. His career began at 15 in The Wezz, where his brother held a residency for many years. Since then, Dylan has progressed to performing at larger venues, transitioning from guest DJ to hosting celebrations, covering all aspects of the industry. Through his knowledge, passion, dedication, and hard work, he consistently aims to exceed our clients’ expectations, creating experiences and memories that will last a lifetime. Dylan will continue to organise and DJ events for many years to come. Several key factors contributed to the establishment of the company. Having started as a part-time DJ from an early age, Dylan gained extensive experience performing at a variety of venues across Ireland. Along the way, he built a strong network of industry contacts and colleagues, which reinforced his passion for the art of DJing. This foundation allowed Dylan to assemble a skilled team to launch the business.
