CHAUVET DJ of the Month: DJ Ryan of Tah-Dah Productions
Posted on July 7, 2014When Ryan Fabian volunteered to play the music for a friend’s wedding for free ten years ago, he never could have dreamed that he could turn his love of music into a thriving Northern California-based DJ & special event business. But that’s exactly what Fabian’s Tah-Dah Productions has become in just a few short years. Meet CHAUVET DJ‘s DJ of the Month, DJ Ryan.
Tell us about Tah-Dah Productions:
Tah-Dah Productions covers from the Bay area to the Oregon border.
We are based out ofboth Chico and Ukiah Ca. We’re only four years old. Crazy how far we have come along ways in the past couple years. We’re more than just your average
wedding and event DJ service. We offer cutting edge lighting and we are an FDA licensed laser production company. We can also help with the timeline planning details of any special event.

How did you get started Djing?

Lighting has been a key to my success ever since I started Tah-Dah Productions. Lighting is something we use at every event from Proms/school dances, corporate events, weddings, community events, you name it we light it up. We really try and use our lighting to help set the mood and tone for each event. With a combination of uplightng and dance floor lighting we have the tools to help bring our clients’ visions to life. Lighting is such a huge part of every event that I travel with my own lighting man, just to run my light show while I DJ. Lighting specialist Travis likes to mix it up and rarely duplicates a setup. Travis also has acquired his FDA variance license for our high powered laser shows. LED Uplighting has been the biggest game changer in the past couple years and is an easy add on for us. Once you show a client the before and after of any venue we have done uplighitng in they are sold. Oh and think about symmetry when you put up your lighting. Try and keep things balanced it just looks better.
