Noah, also known has DJ Gator, has built his own business from the age of 10 years old. He started DJing and Emceeing before when we lived in the City pre-covid at neighborhood parties and then post covid his business exploded with multiple DJ shows every weekend on the North Shore where we now live. He is currently going through the process of merging with another local teen DJ Company and they will be premiering the new company this April so they can grow larger together as team and do larger events that are in demand.
