San Mateo, CA
  • Musician

My music combines vocals & guitar and can be upbeat or mellow, depending what's appropriate. I'd love to learn your song. Offering soloist-rates with the skills of duo and providing music for weddings and private parties. 5 years experience as a professional lounge musician playing 4 times a week at upscale resorts including Four Seasons, Hyatt & Waldorf Astoria. I respond to all inquires within 24 hours. I have a P.A. system and can play 3 hours of great covers songs, 1 hour of originals or a mix of both. I can also put a 3-5 piece band together if you're looking for more upbeat music!

We got the diamond package I believe (includes Photo Booth). We needed a bilingual dj and so we had Jose at our wedding and he did an amazing job!! We loved using Fog City and would highly recommend. Jose made time to meet with us via zoom several times before the wedding and cut songs for us. The Photo Booth was amazing and our guests loved it!

I’ve seen The Soft Lights perform a handful of times now and the experience always leaves me smiling and dancing. Not only are Micaela Stites’ vocals wonderful and her stage pressence warm and welcoming, but whichever musicians in the group happen to be playing with her on any given day are world class and mesmerizing in their mastery. With an even leveled playlist that covers all genres, there’s something for everyone. Highly recommend and can’t wait for my next experience as an audience member!

Manny and his team were amazing. Before the wedding he made sure to ask if we wanted specific songs for different parts of the ceremony and reception. We didn’t have a ton of specific songs, but we made a list of music with the vibes we wanted. Manny took the list, ran with it, and really took care of us. The dance floor was packed all night! He even played Tagalog pop songs and managed sound for a Filipino folk dance group. We also loved the little details like the template for our photo booth photos, the lights for the dance floor, and our initials projected on the wall. Thank you Bay Pro DJs, we’re so glad that you were there to help make our wedding so special.
