Bay Area Up and Coming Funk/Soul DJ

About Me


The name comes from my mom, Susan Ferrari, an accomplished pianist and composer. I've been DJing for about 7 years now, but only seriously for the last 3. I started out as a strictly hip hop DJ and played shows all through college with little success. After a hiatus while entering the working world, I got back into it thanks to Z Trip. I expanded my musical tastes to soul, funk, jazz, rock, disco and anything else that's dope. I really got into the collecting aspect of DJing and am always on the hunt for rare vinyl. I've done a few club gigs and have put out some mixtapes with some success. Stay tuned for more and check it all out at www.djferrari.com .
