DJ Theron – www.djtheron.com

Accomplished turntablist and award-winning deejay, Theron Hunt has been setting the standard as a musician in San Diego for nearly a decade. Mastering spinning vinyl first then switching over to Serato to keep up with the digital times, Theron truly epitomizes what a well-rounded, creative and skilled deejay should be. It’s no coincidence that Theron has won awards for being a phenomenal and popular deejay nearly every year for the past five years. So far he’s taken home “Best Resident DJ” by 944 Magazine in both 2006 and 2007, Eventvibe’s “DJ of the Year” in 2004 and the number one spot at the DJ Spin-Off at 4th and B nightclub in 2003, proves that club-goers know his innovative approach to deejay-ing and laid back persona are the perfect mix. His musical aesthetic refuses to conform to the status quo as he stays true to his roots of rock, 80’s, punk, old funk and breaks to create his own fresh style of party rockin’ house music. 

His residencies at San Diego hot spots Ivy Hotel, Liquid Sugar and Basic are overwhelmingly successful week after week. During his career so far he’s also worked alongside Industry legends like Tiesto, Bad Boy Bill and the Crystal Method; he’s also headlined events at Winter Music Conference in Miami (2001-2008) and poolside at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas. Being an individual who needs to constantly conquer new challenges, Theron has also begun branching out into the business and production side of the nightlife and music industry. With ownership in Fortune Music, a subsidiary of Fortune Industries, he is working on producing his own tracks, as well as using Fortune Music as an avenue to work on projects with top deejays such as Donald Glaude and Charles Feelgood. Through these collaborations, Theron and his Fortune Music crew have already produced a track that hit number one on dancerecords.com. In the coming years, Theron and Fortune Industries will continue to push the envelope both in music and business by expanding their message of love, family and good times across the States and, hopefully, across the globe.
