Red Themed Wedding

2011-01-30T14:17:00.000-08:00

We know its been a long time, but we're slowly putting up pictures from some of our weddings. This one in particular was was a black, white and red themed wedding. Theres red uplights on all walls around the room. During dance time, the lights also change colors in sync around the room.

At the front of the stage is the gobo of the bride and groom's name above it. We don't normally shoot the gobo at the center table, but the bride requested for it to be there. As you guys probably have seen, we normally do the gobo on a blank wall, in front of the building, or on the dance floor.

Scroll down, you'll see we put in a white photobooth. After the wedding we gave the bridge and groom a DVD with all the pictures that were taken, and a scrapbook with all the pictures in it.

Take a look at the flowers; our florist did incredible work on the center pieces too, they were humongous! If there are any questions, please email us.

Enjoy.

New Brochure

2010-10-03T15:04:00.000-07:00

During each summer we begin a new marketing campaign. Our company is always growing, and its imperative that we continue to show our clients all the new toys and gadgets that we have in store for them during the upcoming year. Our new brochure has a quick overview of some of the cool stuff we have planned. Make sure to take a peep!

Its about that time to catch up on our blog. We've been so busy, and the first thing to go is the blog of course. We're doing a mass catch-up, so here we go! *rewind 6 months.

In April one of our favorite clients hired us and @kickmix for the stage design and setup for their Los Angeles debut. Here's the video that was created for the event. Take a look at our lights, video, sound and of course special fx.

VIBE XV - Lambda Theta Delta, Kalllusive Clothing

2010-02-08T20:25:00.000-08:00

The first kick-off dance competition this 2010 year was VIBE XV. If you guys didn't attend, you definitely missed out! We don't want to get into it here, but some of our favorite teams performed and competed, and did an incredible job. Special shout-out to teams out of UC Irvine. Prodigy did the production for VIBE XIV, last year and had a great time through it all. This year Prodigy was invited to do it again, and we made sure to raise the bar.

This year's setup included plenty of upgrades that we thought could brighten up the show. Far more washes and white lights were used to raise the brightness of the stage (also allowing for better looking pictures). Secondly as you can see from some of the videos posted below, we installed four plasma TVs alongside the giant XV truss structure. Below the structure we included moving washes that lit up the crowd and the back of the stage. For sound, we upgraded the monitors, and also included larger JBL systems on both sides of the stage; and also pointed some center and side fills to the audience, this way allowing them to enjoy the show at a more comfortable sound level.

We hope everyone enjoyed the show and all the teams performing. There was a great turnout, and every year we can see the event is growing prolifically. Below we posted some of our favorite dances, as well as a quick video of the show from the control booth with my new HD Mino Flip. Enjoy!

Warehouse FUN!

2009-12-07T14:36:00.000-08:00

We usually don't put up pictures of our warehouse, but here's a great shot of us working hard with the lift, and of course wearing the epic infamous Prodigy Ent x Heist & Co t-shirt. Email us, if you'd like one, and we'll try to send one out to you!

Individual Personalities

2009-12-06T20:38:00.000-08:00

Kedar and I (Thomas) both manage Prodigy together, and usually, if required are the DJs that spin at our productions/events. We each have our very own particular taste in music, and also have very different styles in the way we spin or mix. We will both be releasing some different short mixes for your guys' enjoyment very soon. They will not only be of different genres that we like, but also further depict our differences in music. For some of the events, Kedar and I usually take turns, catering to the crowd with different sets. Although different, we bring extra creativity and flavor to the party, and of course a wide range of song choices too. Below, I've listed our personal DJ pages. Check them out, and let us know what you think...via twitter. Because that's the only thing we check. Thanks, peace!

UCSD All Campus Dance 2009

2009-10-28T20:39:00.000-07:00

With the beginning of the school year comes “welcome dance” season! This consists of homecoming dances, freshman dances, and of course the famous UCSD All Campus Dance. This year Prodigy was invited to come be the main-stage DJs. Neither Kedar or I had ever been to the UCSD dance, but we had definitely heard some stories about it. This year we saw first hand what all the hype was about. Here are some pictures of the setup, and the 6000+ guests. Thanks again University of California, San Diego, we had a great time!

CADC, Heist & CO, and Prodigy Ent

2009-10-04T22:32:00.000-07:00

Its the event we’ve all been waiting for. The annual CADC party is here. This time, we’re doing it big, and with one of sponsors Heist & CO. With the purchase of every pre-sale ticket, we’re giving away a free collabo t-shirt we did with Heist & CO. These are limited, so make sure you guys get it this week!

College Foam Party

2009-09-02T23:06:00.000-07:00

Our editor was going through our events and hesitated when he came to pictures from our college foam party we had just finished. Jimmy ran it by Kedar and I, and we made the decision to post them up ANYWAYS! To be honest, it was one of the craziest college parties we had ever set up for. The event followed an undie run at a college we will not disclose here for obvious reasons. Thousands and thousands of guests showed up ready to party in their best looking under-garments. Inside the gym we setup a giant blow-up foam pit, with flying foam machines pouring thousands of hypoallergenic foam into the pit (yes, hypoallergenic!). Surrounding the in-door pit were lights, lazers, hazers and speakers. Top 40 and electro was played all night as some swam in foam, and others danced their butts off on the stages. Our team had a great time as we managed the pit in our swim trunks and kept the foam coming. At the end of the night we brought out the floor drying machines and sucked up all the water, and left the gym completely dry and spotless. Hope you guys like the PG-13 edition of our pictures ;D

Gradnight Season!

2009-08-23T22:05:00.001-07:00

We've just recently finished up gradnight season, and what a long one it was. Out of the numerous gradnights we did, this was one of our personal favorites. Here at Prodigy we love to bowl, and whats more fun than an entire night of unlimited bowling with good music and a great atmostphere. We didn't get to bowl too much that night, but the guests sure had a blast. Below are pictures of some of the stuff we liked. We setup in less than a day, and cleaned up in hours with the large crew we brought (record breaking!).

Furthermore, we'd like to thank you for all the emails you guys have been sending us. We appreciate all the great comments on our new webpage; our flyer design and marketing team worked extra hard on it. Secondly, we do have video footage, and will be putting those up as soon as we can, we won't forget. Finally, we'll try to post some more music videos up on youtube when we can. Check them out at our webpage: www.ProdigyDJs.com.

Until next time, enjoy the summer weather before it leaves us!

Game stations, truss towers, uplights and gobos

Prodigy Ent @ UCI Care-A-Thon

2009-05-31T17:14:00.000-07:00

Prodigy was recently offered the opportunity to work with the UCI Care-A-Thon. We took it, and we believe it was a success. After putting our heads together, we came up with some great ideas. Care-A-Thon brought in Stonefire Grill for dinner for all the guests which was good food. Outside was a booth offering free kettle corn, a personal favorite for me (because I'm hopelessly in love with it). Next to it, Prodigy setup an airbrush tattoo team giving all the kids and guests their own personal tattoos. Inside we also setup a giant rear-projection screen for Rockband as well as Street Fighter 4, and by it, a photobooth for people to get their pictures taken and printed. The usual music and lighting were done of course and some extra mics for the bands were provided.

Congratulations to those that helped put together this incredible fundraiser. We had a great time working with you guys, and would love to do it again soon.

P.S. The bands and dance teams that performed were awesome!

Formal @ Manchester Grand Hyatt, San Diego

2009-05-31T16:58:00.000-07:00

2 Weeks ago I went to DJ at a formal at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. I had never been there, but I knew it was in downtown San Diego. Upon arrival and 45 minutes of trying to find out where to park, check-in and setup, I gained a pretty basic tour of the hotel. What I wanted to share with you guys is what I discovered. I was walking through the lobby (which I don't have a picture of it here) when I noticed how big it was, like an airplane hanger (slight exaggeration). I stopped and commented to the concierge about the lobby size, and he explained to me it was the largest hotel on the West Coast. Seriously, this place was big, with two swimming pools, and a ridiculous amount of banquet halls (125,000 sq. ft. worth). Furthermore, the hotel has 1,625 rooms, which in my opinion is a lot. I just wanted to share that with you guys (because I thought it was interesting). Here are a few pictures I pulled from my camera.

Front view, with the two towers. When David and I decided to go setup, we obviously chose the wrong tower to check-in at.

A very, loud, but super supportive crowd!

EPIC SPRING PARTY - Recap

2009-05-17T22:27:00.000-07:00

I believe I speak for all of us when I say the EPIC SPRING PARTY was a huge success. We had a great turnout and everyone had a good time. CADC performed at midnight, and tore it up. They never cease to amaze me, and the special set they had planned was ridiculous. PicMember's Brandon Wong did photography, and I'll post up some pics below when I get a chance. Kallusive and As Seen Fit came with a bunch of giveaways for the crowd, and our birthday guests also seemed to be partying it up pretty hard.

For those who attended, we hope you had a different type of clubbing experience, and of course, hope you liked the venue and the music!

EPIC SPRING PARTY!

2009-05-09T17:58:00.000-07:00

Yes, the title of this post needs to be in full capital letters. This is the event we've all be waiting for. Prodigy's Team and fans put on an event twice a year. This is our first event for the 2009 year. Its a time for Prodigy to really give back to its fans and throw one big party for everyone. So come out and party with us as we get ready for the summer! Elite was great, and our last CADC event was spectacular. This one will be.. wait for it.. LEGENDARY!

Battle Royale LA

2009-05-09T17:46:00.000-07:00

As I promised, here is a recap of what went down at Battle Royale LA. We got their mid-afternoon and began setting up. We wanted to be sure to have everything set and done prior to tech time starting which was around 7:00. The setup was pretty small, but definitely did what it was supposed to do.

The room was long and very wide. This was something we needed to prepare for when setting up lighting, sound, and power. We brought in a truss arch with DMX movers and LEDs on and inside of it. On both sides we setup main and directional speakers to cover the length of the room. To light up the dancers we setup towers in the back with conventional lighting to make sure everyone was illuminated. For the judges, we setup a stage at the back where they were elevated and able to see the dance teams. Here are some of the pictures we took.

Remember to take a look at their website for more information about the fundraiser the event was for, and how we can help.

Battle Royale LA

2009-04-29T18:24:00.000-07:00

As you guys have probably noticed, here at Prodigy we are huge followers of the dance community. We collaborate on a lot of events with different teams whether it be for performances or fundraisers. We recently did the production for VIBE XIV last March (with LTD) which was really cool. The next event we are working on is Battle Royale LA with Omega Sigma Tau. The request for Prodigy was to create a concert/show for the competition, and then quickly transition the event into a full blown clubbing event with bars and alcohol, lights, lounges, dance stages, sound, and DJ setup. Prodigy has been working hard all week, but we have some crazy stuff planned for this event.

There are 4 teams performing which you may recognize from other competitions such as Vibe, Fusion, World of Dance etc.

Time for an Update

2009-04-29T18:03:00.000-07:00

Prodigy Entertainment DJs has recently re-launched their website. The theme is simple and sweet. We wanted to create something more user-friendly, but also a website that better portrayed the services we offered. There are a lot of pictures up already, but we're constantly updating them. Check it out, and don't be afraid to comment on the site here on our blog. Below on the front page are different avenues we use to network and connect with you guys. Remember to add us on Tw itter, Facebook, and follow us on Blogger, and Youtube. We hope you guys enjoy it. Kedar put it together last week in between his djing and meetings, so we'll be fine-tuning it throughout the week.

Furthermore, please add some of the DJs you already know to your Myspace.

Relay For Life @ Occidental College

2009-04-23T16:14:00.000-07:00

Prodigy just finished the +24 hour Relay For Life event over in Los Angeles at Occidental College. We had a great time doing it. The setup was straight forward. Screens with rear projection, 360 all around sound, and a stage for the performers and bands. There were tons of games played throughout, and even a talent show prior to midnight. We of course brought our plasmas and Rock Band on Wii for those who needed a break from walking around the track. Movie on the big screen was a plus too. Here are some of the pics we pulled out real quick to share with you guys.

Go Tigers!

Some of the coorindators and participants in the frozen t-shirt contest. T-shirts were frozen, and each team was supposed to find a way to thaw the shirt and whoever put it on first would win. It was way harder than it sounded.

HOPE spelled out in the bleachers. It looked great during the night time.

Getting ready for the night. We setup lighting and a screen with rear projection for the movie at midnight.

Helping out Kick-Mix Productions, setting up for LMFAO

2009-03-03T00:16:00.000-08:00

Last Tuesday, Prodigy stepped in to help out with Kick-Mix Productions to setup for the LMFAO show at UCI. It was a small setup, but definitely exciting with the concert going on. We’re huge followers of LMFAO here at Prodigy, and was stoked to be able to watch the show up close and meet them in person. I quickly went over the pictures and pulled out some that I liked. Enjoy!

Some of our favorite fans. Thanks for the pose guys.

VIBE 14 in Collaboration with Kallusive and Lambda Theta Delta

2009-01-26T17:13:00.000-08:00

This January 2009, Prodigy was blessed with the opportunity to work with Lambda Theta Delta (LTD) and Kallusive clothing for VIBE 14, a Southern California dance competition. Prodigy has done many large scale events here at UCI and Orange County, but nothing hit it home as much as this one did. Prodigy had already followed the dance culture and teams here in California, and is a follower of VIBE and its participants. One of the dance teams, Chinese Association Dance Crew (CADC), had recently done a clubbing event last fall with Prodigy which was a huge success. We hope everyone liked the setup we had, please feel free to leave comments regarding Prodigy, or any of the other parties involved.

Below are pictures from the event, we hoped you guys liked the setup and music. Prodigy would like to thank you Jason, LTD, and Kallusive for this opportunity to work together to create something bigger. We would also like to thank you all the participants and dance teams for coming out and giving us an incredible show. Also, If you're looking for photos be sure to check out Picmember as well as Tikko Studios for high def images. Finally, a special congratulations to CADC for placing first this year!

Here are some links we wanted you guys to check out also. Definitely great companies, and very inspirational to what we do here at Prodigy.

Helping out DJ Chris C. @ Hollywood Themed Party

2009-01-18T20:19:00.001-08:00

The setup here was super nice. I was helping out another company owned by a friend named DJ Chris. It was Hollywood themed, so there was a bunch of movie award type of decorations. I thought the colors and uplighting for all the stuff was really nice. Take a look at the pictures, and let me know what you think.

These are some of the quick photos I snapped during our show in which Prodigy helped out Kick-Mix Productions. The setup was pretty basic, but the colors looked good on the camera. All the bands were good, and everyone had mad talent.

Special thanks to Jon, Andrew and Jaime for coming out to support and hangout in the cold!

Yes this is exactly how we roll

Chris and Ali making sure things are going smoothly.

Prodigy is back and ready for 2009!

2009-01-05T22:51:00.001-08:00

Hey everyone, its 2009, and Prodigy is back and better than ever! We hope everyone's vacation has been great and everyone got to spend quality time with their family and loved ones. Kedar and I surely had our share of relaxing. Kedar left the country and I left for Miami and Orlando. I know a few of Prodigy's Crew left for Vegas to rage through the break.

This January Prodigy has been blessed to have been booked by some really cool fraternities as well as organizations in Orange County. We're working hard to make sure our clients have a great time at all the events this quarter, and we'll be sure to update on each one. Each setup will be customized especially for each party so try to make it out and see all the cool stuff Prodigy is bringing out this year.

On the right side is a list of our schedule updated for the first time since our blog was launched last year. We hope this gives you a better view of how well we're doing this quarter, and how hard we're working to make sure everything goes as planned. The ones shown are the more public events, the private events are, well private and won't be up.

Prodigy should be having its quarterly event soon right after midterms. Get ready for that, this event will be huge. All of our parties in the past have been a success with a great outcome of 600+ guests. We hope to make it even bigger this quarter with your help and continued support. Please shoot us an email if you'd like to throw the party with us. We already have some people that want to get together, so get at us ASAP!

With that said, we hope you guys continue to visit the blog as we're trying our best to keep it updated this 2009. Its the year for change, and we're doing our best to break those bad habits and bring forth a a terrific year. Thank you again for all the blessings and being there for us! We love you all, see you soon.

Halloween Update

2008-10-23T00:58:00.000-07:00

Halloween is coming up, and Prodigy is completely booked! We all have our costumes, so keep a look out for us at the next event you attend.

Last week Prodigy sponsored CADC, and did music for the auditions. Everyone who participated was incredible, and did a great job. The crowd and CADC alumni did an awesome job of cheering, even though we received a few noise complaints. CAMA had a performance which was seriously amazing an incredible display of martial arts. Thanks to all who came out to support.

We're trying to update the blog with more information on the upcoming events, but it has definitely been hard to find time. Please book us early for any formals or parties for November and early December. Prodigy will be shutting down for the later part of December for family, and to take a break from everything!

Tomorrow we will be at Pikes of the Caribbean at noon on ringroad, and again at their party at night. The concept they have for this event/week is definitely incredible. I think it really brings all the different orgs together to do something fun and great publicity for their party as well. Below is their website, visit it and read on!
http://www.pikesofthecaribbean.com/

Also tomorrow (Thursday), Prodigy will also be doing production for Club Neon's event, which is an open party, so if you're bored swing by and support them. It should be fun.

Next thursday is Phi Psi and Sigma Pi Halloween parties in which we will be taking care of music and production for both events. If you are attending either one of those, please come up and say hello! We'd really appreciate it.

Thank You To All Who Made This Event Successful!

2008-10-05T17:05:00.000-07:00

As you all may know, Prodigy and CADC’s event was last Thursday. Here at Prodigy we believed it was a great success, and wanted to thank you all that helped out and worked hard to get this event together. This was a huge step for Prodigy, and hopefully a step for CADC as well.
I wanted to personally say thank you to CADC and all of its members for working together with us to make this event a success. The members of CADC are all great and came with open hearts and minds, ready to tackle the challenge. A positive energy is with this group, and will forever push them to the top. I didn’t know much about them before we got together, but after meeting many on a pretty personal level, I am glad our roads crossed. The first day I met these guys, I was already impressed. I’ve never met such a welcoming group who made it a point to meet and introduce themselves to a new person before. I’ve left messages with Janice and Raffy regarding my feelings towards the group, and I hope they pass it on, because I totally meant it!
On a side note, we had photography done by Grant Yoshino from PicMember, and the shots turned out great. I quickly pulled some of the high resolution pics off their site, and posted them up. CADC better navigate the site because there are definitely a lot of good looking pics of you guys!

Furthermore, Prodigy members were sporting clothes from As Seen Fit. If you guys liked any of the shirts or sweaters we were wearing, check them out at their website. They were happy to give us a discount, so please use code “prodigy” to get 40% off.

Finally, as one of the main coordinators for hosting this event, I wanted to give a special thanks to all members here at Prodigy who helped out. I’ve told you guys before, but I’ll tell you again, productions like this cannot be done by one person, and with all of us working together, we can definitely do anything. I encourage you all to leave feedback and post your experiences on the site whether it be through comments or new entries.

Lookin' Good People, Lookin' Good.

2008-09-21T19:24:00.000-07:00

Yes, this blog is definitely lookin' good. Prodigy has certainly chosen
the finest for its team. It appears there has been consistent movement in
the viewing of the blog, which is great. But it would really be fantastic
if we got some discussion stirring among the comments. Let us know what
you think people! We want your ideas; how do you think Prodigy can
improve? We are here to cater to you, after all it is a business.

And so, let us look forward to the exciting events of October. Nearing us
is the CADC event with Prodigy; we are all anticipating that one. And I am
sure it will not disappoint. Can't wait to see you all there!

2008-09-10T23:35:00.000-07:00

For the first time ever, CADC and Prodigy Entertainment Group will be under one roof, collaborating in throwing the biggest event at the beginning of the new school year. It'll only be the first week of school!

Jeanelle's Intro

2008-08-28T14:01:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! My name's Jeanelle and I am wayyy ecstatic to be part of Prodigy and be able to contribute to the launch of the new blog. This is definitely gonna bring Prodigy to a whole new level. Our current and future clients will finally get to know our team on a more personal level, and see how hard Prodigy works to bring you THE best entertainment service out there.

Here's a bit of info on myself. I am originally from beautiful San Diego. Currently a full time student at UC Irvine and finishing in 2009. I'm majoring in Studio Arts and minoring in Digital Arts - concentrating on graphics and digital photography. I am pursuing a career in advertising and getting into the creative, production and marketing aspect of the industry.

I just spent my summer taking digital art and advertising classes, as well as pursuing long overdue ambitions. Just last sunday, I performed at Team Millennia's Summer Intensive Showcase. Dance has always been something I've wanted to do, and I'm glad I've finally gotten the chance to pursue it. You're never too old to pursue things you want to do .. you only live once! I've also spent the summer brushing up on perfecting my photoshop skills (I am proud to admit I am definitely a nerd). I've recently fallen in love with photography - shopping around for my slr right now (leaning towards Canon .. sorry nikon fans!).

What else can I say about myself? I am a huge fan of staying active and fit. I love going to the gym, running and playing tennis. I've dabbled with surfing, snowboarding, and almost every other sport out there. I love concerts, music, movies .. who doesn't?

With that said. Thanks for visiting, thanks for reading! Here's to Prodigy! Cheers =]

UPDATE:

I am proud to announce that I have my new baby: Nikon D60.

I did want a Canon, but gotta admit .. nikons are bomb.

Look out for my flickr ! Coming sooooon ! Keep you all posted =]

Wedding Season

2008-08-27T19:14:00.000-07:00

The month of August was definitely one of the most wedding packed months I've ever seen. The 08-08-08 day was a huge factor for this according to an Asian couple I met (goodluck). We love to do weddings, although we don't market them as much. This season, Prodigy was hired to do a Korean wedding on 08-09-08 @ the Sheraton of Anaheim. It was a long two room setup.

The first setup was in the cocktail room which had an open bar and food consisting mostly of snacks. I DJed for this one as a precursor to the main reception room. It was a very basic setup, two speakers, some uplighting, and my wheels.
Our second setup was in the main hall. We setup 4 Macs to color the room according to the Bride's wants/theme (green and purple). This actually looked a lot better than I thought it would, covering the entire room top to bottom. I assumed we would have a really hard time coloring a room that was so large, but with the Macs, brightness and coloring was definitely not a problem. Behind the long table where the bride/groom sat we also colored the entire wall a nice light calm green complementing the moving head spray really nicely. I think we would do a similar setup for our next event.

Kedar spun music videos on the 4 plasmas equally distributed across the room. He also designed many different pictures/wallpapers that we were able to use during dinner time to display photos of the bridge and groom. The couple had a video made, and so we played that which was about 7 minutes. The video was by far the best I've ever seen in the wedding industry, and the photo team was awesome. Let me know if anyone is getting married, and wouldn't mind spending some extra money on memorabilia thats worth while.

All in all, the event was a sucess. Did it with just the two of us, but had a great time doing it. $200 in tip never hurts either.

Lady Kate, in collaboration with Crystal Entertainment and Page Productions

Prodigy's recent event was with Crystal Entertainment, and Page Productions. It was a lot of fun mostly because a special guest DJ was there, Lady Kate. She had a nice set, and was a great contribution to the closing of the night. Kedar and I flew 4 plasma TVs which our logos switching back and forth, and some great pictures of her (Lady Kate) which I think she appreciated a lot. The different companies got along great, and we hope to do business with you guys again. Cheers.

Teresa's Introduktion

2008-08-27T18:54:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone!

That’s right. I spell “introduktion” with a K.

Thomas has asked me to be a contributing blogger despite my apparent uselessness in all departments. I'm incredibly honored and will attempt to refrain from making racist jokes in a public forum that represents something (eek!) important. I really think he only asked me because he knows when everyone else gets lazy about blogging, I won't. Because I'm a diehard blogger. I started in 7th grade and never looked back!

So this is my About Me: I'm born and raised in the Bay Area. I pose as a student at the University of California, San Diego where I double major in Communication and Beach Bumming. I spent my summer interning at Glamour magazine, where I was once given the task of locating an image of “Paris Hilton in excessive jewelry, high heels and a gold bikini.” (That’s verbatim.) Two days a week, I interned at mediabistro.com. I can’t talk about it. They Google-alert the company name. But it was a grand time. I fell in love with New York City. I can’t say the feeling was mutual, but at least the subway bums reciprocated the love. Post-graduation, I will likely become an underpaid freelance writer, subsisting on a diet of ramen and beer.

I blog obnoxiously about my life here. I do everything in excess (eat, spend, eat). In terms of my hobbies, I tend to gravitate toward things I’m really bad at, for example, technology and snowboarding. I am therefore going to marry the man who takes on the challenge of teaching me about both.

I openly admit to having pretty horrible taste in music. I only like Top 40 songs, and even then, I only find out about them two months after they are mainstream. (Most recently, I started liking that one song about — what was it? — cherry chapstick...)

In terms of Prodigy-related business, I hope to crash weddings as part of the Prodigy Entertainment entourage because I have a special fondness for hors d’oeuvres and open bars. I also hope Thomas will DJ at my birthday party in exchange for my indentured servitude as a Bad Blogger. This is my nonconfrontational way of asking. Thomas, will you DJ at my birthday party? Thanks!

I promise to think of more relevant things to write about next time.

xoxo,

Gossip Girl
(Identity crisis. I know.)

PS: I warned Thomas my post would be ridiculous.

Alright, alright. Here we go. I’m new to this blogging business, so cut me
some slack DJ-TPham and staff. Oh, how Prodigy has grown. Who knew this
little man from Milipitas would become considerably successful in SoCal so
soon? Thomas did. And I whole-heartedly support him in all his endeavors.
Hence, that is my reason for being here.

I am a super senior here at the UCI, studying studio art and minoring in
education. I plan on becoming an art therapist, teaching, and saving all
the children in the world (yes, I consider myself philanthropic). I live
for art, music, food, and seeing the good in the world we live in; not
particularly in that order of course. Ilike to be in good company, which
consists of my adoring friends and my magnificent family. As decent people
we laugh, we cry, and we grow together.

In my leisure I love to enjoy live music, expand my taste in music, go
bowling (we’re pro), attempt to cook, stroll the beach at night, and
pretend I’m VIP at Thomas’ gigs. I like to act like I can draw, paint, and
play the drums. Also, I have this condition where I genuinely laugh out
loud at everything. I need to find more people who share my humor.

I’ll leave the rest of myself as a mystery. I think that’s fair.

To the continued success of Prodigy. Cheers.

Daniel's Intro

2008-08-27T18:09:00.000-07:00

Greetings from San Diego!

So apparently DJ T-Pham is on Teresa's ass, to get on my ass, about this intro post (doesn't sound too pleasant).

I love all things relating to food, Warriors, 49ers, health, fitness, and technology. All of which are available to me in my hometown, in the Bay Area – GET HYPHY!@!1 I am in my final year at UCSD, and still expending most of my efforts to expend the least amount of work possible to graduate. I hope this isn’t too counter-productive, but I guess it works.

Okay, so this is how I am related to Prodigy: It started in elementary, when Thomas and I first met, Thomas was jealous of my suave demeanor and I needed help with my homework…wait what? nm that.

Anyways, since Prodigy Entertainment was created, every now and then Thomas would trick me into assisting him with Prodigy. Nothing big, just carrying extremely heavy and expensive equipment, climbing huge truss structures, making introductory blog posts, etc…You know, nothing too crazy.

I recently got into digital photography, along with Thomas, Charlie, and some other friends and family. We all purchased digital SLR cameras, so hopefully we will be able to capture some great Prodigy moments. Problem is, I still have no idea of how to use these complex functions, Av, P, M, AF, WTF, LOL, JK..

For on me and my life you can catch me on tumblr

What’s up blog-topia!

I’m rather new to this blogging-ness of blogland but I assure you I’ll try to make my entries blogtastic. Sorry… the word blog just amuses me. But for the sake of not boring your brains with other b-words, I’ll stick to the basics. Hehe.

My name is Kedar and I’m one of the DJs and organizers at Prodigy Entertainment. As you can see, we have a pretty exciting and articulate group of staff members here and I’m really looking forward to keeping this blog up to date. The DJ life is going strong and I can’t wait for this school year to really take off. The first few weeks are always the busiest and typically the most fun as well.

If you were to try to explain my DJ style, I would probably describe myself as a mash-up fiend. Mixing anything from the Super Mario Brothers soundtrack to MTV’s Rob and Big, I love mashing today’s popular beats with some other genres of pop culture. With the comeback of house already underway, it’s been great seeing the transformation of clubs from the dirty grind to a more… mommy friendly music style.

Although I’ve only been showing out live for a few years now, it’s been a great tide and I’m happy to see the direction Prodigy is headed. Hopefully the DJ career will live on beyond college for me. I kind of set my goal to keep on showing out as long as I’m still having fun and until some complete stranger asks me for an autograph. But don’t tell my mom that… she’ll hire some kid to ask me for one.

When I’m not behind the tables, I’m usually behind my computer screen. That being said, I’ll probably be back adventuring in the land of blog soon enough.

2008-08-27T11:23:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, I will be posting on the blog, and doing a lot of the updating. I am one of the founders of Prodigy Entertainment DJs along with Kedar Tilak. I share in the marketing and all of the business aspects in the company. We are the main contacts and DJs, so give us a holler! I've been a DJ for 6 years, and love music and everything about spinning. Prodigy has been around for a some time now, and that has been my main interest since. I'm usually known for spinning a lot of music from the bay, as well as top 40. But, I'm slowly getting into a lot of house and trance.

Outside of Prodigy, I have an active presence on the internet, which I have a great time building. During the day I work at Prudential as a Financial Services Associate. I spend a lot of my time working with clients reach their financial goals, setting up risk protection, and saving money. Refer to the links on the side to reach my financial blog and advice page. During my free time, I like to read up on start-ups and keep an eye on my friends' small companies and businesses. I play golf every weekend, and love photography as well.

We'll try our best to keep this updated. Remember to keep an eye on upcoming events. Also feel free to email me or any of the other contacts with any questions or inquiries that you may have.
