Who I Am // what I do

Hi, I'm Daniel, stage name The Merchant. I'm glad you're here! I'm a dance enthusiast, music nerd, and DJ. My drum beats to the tune of embodiment, aka being fully alive in who we truly are. I just so happen to believe that's a dancing, singing, celebrating, crying, sweating, expressive human being who won't shy away from a vibrant life... and The Merchant events reflect this.

I have an arsenal of equipment that enables epic music in any location, on any terms, for any occasion. Snow Dance around a raging bonfire... silent disco in the wilderness... and of course, the wedding GET DOWN. I receive inspirations from my clients and collaborate to bring grand visions to life... and then some. I'd love to hear what you've got brewing...

Get In Touch

In case you were wondering...

Yes, I take song requests.
I'll travel (most) anywhere,
...bringing everything you need.
I custom design every event,
...many of which are pro-bono.
I love corporate shake-it-ups.
I MC... but only if you ask for it.
EVERYBODY loves silent disco.
No, I don't do boring or comfortable.
Nor do I play crappy music... ever.
Ok, so I take MOST song requests...
And make dreams come true.

The Merchant Effect

I elevate people and spaces. Amplify, enliven, enrich... SPICE for the blandness of normality... and a SPARK for celebrations that leave a mark. It's all about getting uncle Bob off the sidelines to shake his tail-feather for the first time in 28 years, because it feels damn good and because he, like all of us, needs it.

I steward the atmosphere and turn up the energy. Revelry and freedom on the momentum of epic music. Memories that last because there are stories to tell. Our passion is to step beyond what is safe and cookie-cutter to fuel what is unique, bold, and unforgettable.
