From Practice to Pro: The 360° Magic of Open Decks at Sophie’s 🎧✨
A 4-month transformation and my latest set at Sophie’s Artist Lounge.
Hey Familia,
A Turn At The Table is such a gift to the STL DJ community. 🙏🏽
There is a profound difference between playing music and curating an experience.
Back in September 2025, I stepped into the booth at Sophie’s Artist Lounge with a vision.
Returning this February, I stepped in with a new level of confidence, technical skill, and “I got this” energy.
Whether I’m rocking Tampa Tech Week, an intimate Artist Meetup, or a high-stakes shine-time Wedding, the goal remains the same: to create a safe space for us to breathe, dance, and be our most authentic selves. 🥰

The Community That Keeps Me Sharp
A massive shoutout to the mentors and peers who make the STL scene world-class.
My growth is fueled by the 1:1 lessons with DJ Chris Brown and the Spin Society DJs.
Their workshops are returning soon—if you are a creator, don’t miss out.

“Open Deck” Mentality
In business and in art, you need a “safe space to fail” to eventually fly.
Find your community (like my Spin Society family) where you can practice your “scratches” before you take them to the main stage.
Planning A Milestone?
From Tech Conferences to Bridal Showers, I bring this same “Queen Bee” curation to every private and community event. 🐝
Let’s make your next moment a work of art.
Stay Blessed,
DJ AO
