About

Hapa means MIXED.

Hapa has spent 30 years behind the decks and 22 years teaching others how to get there. Known for his #FeelGoodSound, he has played for brands like Formula 1, Ferrari, Microsoft and ESPN, and has shared the stage with Michael Jackson, Earth, Wind & Fire, Drake and Bruno Mars. He was the first resident DJ on the KTLA Morning Show, was featured on The Ellen Show and played himself in Fast and Furious 7.

Diagnosed with epilepsy at 17, he learned early that time is the one thing you can't get back. That lesson drives his sets, his keynotes and The DJ Coach, the education company he founded. He is a Hal Leonard author, an AlphaTheta (Pioneer DJ) partner, a UCLA graduate and commencement speaker, an Epilepsy Foundation spokesperson, and a husband and father.
