From Bollywood Tapes to Turntables: The Journey of DJ Scorpio
The Rise of DJ Scorpio: A Passion Fueled by Music and Determination
Born and raised in the sunny state of California, DJ Scorpio was fascinated with the Western fusion of Bollywood & amp; Bhangra music brought to the forefront when mixed with electronic, house, and hip-hop beats in the mid-90s. His passion for music started at the very young age of 16. He remembers accompanying his father, who was a Bollywood movie distributor, to all the Indian grocery and video stores in Southern California. Scorpio would always have a first-hand preview of the new Bollywood releases before they hit the shelf. On many occasions, he would hit the music section and buy all the latest hits on audio tape. He became mesmerized by Bally Sagoo’s release of Star Megamix off the “Wham Bam!” album that he would listen to everyday. When people around him started noticing his love for music and his precise selection of music they would ask him to come out and DJ on tape decks. Scorpio reminisces about the time he would be playing one song on one tape deck and has to quickly find the next song to fade into so the momentum wouldn’t be lost on the dance floor. He had a vast selection of tapes that people around him would dream about.
The Birth of DJ Scorpio: From a Childhood Dream to a Neighborhood Icon
Beats, Dreams, and Determination: DJ Scorpio’s Musical Evolution
Several years passed by and this young boy who was barely out of his diapers was begging and pleading with his parents to buy him a DJ system. As we all know, most Indian parents want their children to become doctors or lawyers, but Sanjay’s parents knew that this passion would turn into something big one day. His father finally gave in and got him his first DJ a system that consisted of a pair of speakers, an amplifier, a dual-deck Denon CD player, and a mixer. That was probably the worst decision his parents made for the neighborhood because he did a great job at keeping the neighbors up at night. Now there was only one thing left… Coming up with a stage name. Sanjay would be up many nights in bed just thinking, what should he call himself. Finally his birthday came to mind and he decided to call himself Dj Scorpio.
Mastering the Basics: DJ Scorpio’s Early Lessons in the Art of DJing
The Making of DJ Scorpio: A Fusion of Passion and Skill
Scorpio took the new gear he had and learned some of the most simple skills a DJ needs to perform live like a beat match, how to count beats per minute, cutting into music, etc. Back then DJs didn’t have software like Scratch Live or Traktor. Nowadays you can download an app on your iPhone that will give you the tempo of a song. Back in the day whoever wanted to be a DJ and not get tomatoes thrown at them at an event would have to spend quality time learning and practicing to become better at the art of DJing and moving a crowd.

Sanjay and his team made our wedding so much fun each event! He knew what songs to choose at each moment and executed our vision with ease from the lighting and cold sparklers to our LED dance floor! We are so so happy at how everything turned out and everyone cannot stop talking about how much fun they had dancing during our Reception and Sangeet! Cannot recommend him more for your event!!

DJ Scorpio played our baraat and reception and he was great! His communication leading up to the event was professional and timely. His song selections were great and had the dance floor full all night.
His wife owns a rental company, Tip Top Events, which was instrumental during our planning and it was great to have everything all in one place.
Thank you so much!

Sanjay was our DJ and MC for our sangeet, baraat, wedding, and reception, and I would highly recommend him to all my friends and family in the Greater Los Angeles area. His choice of music kept us and our guests entertained and on the dance floor the entire night, and his choice of lighting created a nice ambience. He was on time, reliable, professional, easy going and adaptable, which is exactly the type of person you need at your wedding. Hope to work with him again in the future!

Sanjay was amazing and a blast to work with. He was super helpful and supportive when we had to postpone our original 2020 wedding to 2021 and worked with us every step of the way from securing a new date to going above and beyond for the events. He DJ’ed our Sangeet and got the dancefloor moving and was a blast with the Baraat Cart. He got the crowd all awake and dancing to kick off the wedding. He also handled all the microphone work for the Granthis at the ceremony site.
