DJ Sammy Donado

Sammy Donado
I sometimes stop to think how crazy (and amazing!) it is that something I loved doing as a kid is now my full-time career! My name is Sammy Donado. I’m a music aficionado and host extraordinaire! Se habla español.
 
I am currently the In-Arena Host for the Anaheim Ducks. I am grateful that, for the last 10 years, my talents have taken me all over the country, rocking stages and crowds at several Super Bowls and Vans Warped Tours, the Rolling Loud Festival, CMA Fest, NASCAR races, and more. I’m super excited to be a part of Dancing DJ Productions and to keep the party and fun going. 
 
Having been born in Colombia and raised in Miami, rhythm and flavor runs in my blood (and trust me, these hips don’t lie!). I grew up on 90’s Hip-Hop and Latin music, but I always explored genres of all kinds, from Reggae and Dancehall, to Classics and Rock-And-Roll, Indie, Alternative, EDM, and all the nuanced genres in between. My DJing style is focused on clean blends and mixes and taking the crowd on a fun ride through different waves of energy and styles. I have a natural high-energy and charismatic personality that is amplified whenever behind the decks or on the mic, yet I can be just as professional and poised when needed.
 
I get asked all the time about what separates me from other DJs/ MCs. The truth is, my talent and experience is secondary. If you ask me, most important is my genuine care and concern for the success of the event and the happiness and enjoyment of those present. I am very easy-going, and provide an unparalleled level of “customer service” with an attention to detail. I aim to go above-and-beyond for my clients.

Sammy Donado in Action

A few of Sammy’s Testimonial

“This guy lives and breathes music, and entertainment of all kinds. There’s no volume knob on his dial. Energy, passion, and a comprehensive knowledge of what hits and what misses when it comes to the crowds. He’s been such an incredible asset to our games and to our fans. Look up MC/DJ in the dictionary and you’ll see a picture of Sammy Donado, rocking his dreads proudly.”
Davin M., Anaheim Ducks Entertainment Manager
“Sammy was the DJ for our wedding, and we were so lucky to have him! He was super friendly, engaging, and professional in our communications. Sammy also asked us questions that we hadn’t considered before – which made potential headaches a nonissue. My husband and I came up with a last minute game for our guests, and Sammy was very flexible in this new job we asked of him and was super charming and hilarious when hosting! We got so many compliments from our guests that they loved the music. He played music that fit the atmosphere we wanted and meshed our taste in music with his own recommendations. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an affordable, engaging, and easy experience!!”

“Sammy worked with me on our Xfinity NASCAR tour and went above and beyond to amplify the fan experience through interactive games and hyping them throughout the day. He is top level when it comes to his hosting and DJ skills with a professional and fun attitude.”
Seth K., GMR Account Executive
“My wife and I loved every part of Sammy’s work at our wedding. He was super flexible and fast acting on any changes, he helped our coordinator, and was super friendly and personable. If we had another wedding we’d hire him again. I strongly recommend going with his company, they’re responsive and have a higher level of professionalism we didn’t find anywhere else.”
Anthony & Carlie
“Sammy was an amazing emcee/DJ to work with!  He was very professional, organized, and fun at the same time, which is hard to find.  You can tell that he has a lot of experience and enjoys what he does.  He took the time to understand our needs/expectations and made sure that EVERYONE was having a good time.  He made sure that the focus was on us while he led the event flawlessly with timely announcements, engagement with the crowd, great music, and most importantly, high energy!  He brings a certain energy that people love and enjoy and brought the party to another level!  All our guests loved him and so did we.  I have used him for MULTIPLE events and plan to request him for all my upcoming events.  HIGHLY recommended for ANY event!!!!”
Anna K., Owner, 900 Events
“DJ Sammy was AMAZING! Leading up to our wedding day, he maintained an open line of communication with us. He was flexible in our last minute song changes in our timeline. His expertise helped us in creating a timeline that flowed smoothly. During our wedding, he kept the party going! He always had our preferences in mind while tuning into the guests’ vibe at our wedding. We are so thankful DJ Sammy was a part of our big day. We couldn’t have done it without him!”     
Tyler & Lindsey
“Sammy Donado is the man! Whether it’s Dj’ing and keeping the energy high or working the mic to keep the masses entertained, he does it all.  We’ve had him work massive events for the Super Bowl and smaller intimate events for VIP clients and he always knows how to set the mood.  Professional, funny and the perfect energy for any event.  As long as he is at your event, you are in good hands and more importantly, so are your guests”
Rossi M. – CEO, Event Host Live
“We hired Dancing DJ Productions for our Company Holiday party and we had the pleasure of having Sammy as our DJ. He was great from beginning to end. Very attentive and played all music genres requested. Next event we will be requesting Sammy :) Thanks Sammy!!”
