Meet
I’m a lover of shine, sparkle, and all things that ignite the soul.
Outside of my professional passions and pursuits, I’m an avid dog lover, solo adventurer, health and wellness enthusiast, bookworm and love to dance!
The entertainment bug hit me early on. As a kid, I loved putting on shows for my family and friends, and the exhilarating rush I felt watching their joyful reactions sparked a passion that still burns brightly today.
My career as a DJ began in 2001 as an enthusiastic side job while I pursued my higher education. I earned a B.A. in Mass Communication, with a focus on Broadcast Journalism, which led to my first career working in the news media industry upon graduation. This academic background helped lay the foundation for my passion for storytelling and communication.
I still remember the first nightlife event I DJ’d, I was hooked by the excitement, energy, and creativity I experienced behind the decks. Following this new passion led me to expand into other styles of events and the world of cruise ship DJing, where I had the incredible opportunity to connect with people from all walks of life, cultures, and backgrounds.
This transformative experience taught me the power of music as a universal language, uniting people from all over the world and sparking a frequency of sound wave imprints.
“DJ Dayna has been our music host on several Crystal Cruises my wife and I have been on and has always created a super energized fun event! She's a personality that lights up the room in addition to providing music to keep you dancing and singing. It's an added treat when she's on board!"

Speaking
As a seasoned DJ with a heart for connecting with others, I’ve had the privilege of speaking as a leader in the DJ community, both at the Marquee Show and The DJ Collective conference.
My journey as a cruise ship DJ provided me with profound insights into the influence of music as a global language. I’ve had the privilege of engaging with people from various backgrounds and cultures, enriching my understanding of the human spirit and the soulful connections we can forge through the waves of music. I was able to share these insights with other top private event DJs and industry leaders at The Marquee Show.
During my speaking engagement at The DJ Collective, my focus was on empowering fellow DJs to cultivate a positive mindset and lead a healthy lifestyle. I emphasize the importance of embracing one's unique qualities and shining their own light authentically, rather than comparing oneself to others.
By sharing these invaluable lessons, I aim to inspire and uplift my peers in the event industry world, nourishing an environment of
Growth,
Creativity,
and Camaraderie.
