Owner
I’m Michael Ontiveros, owner of Holmes Entertainment San Diego and a professional DJ with over 15 years of experience. I started as a guitarist and producer, and my love for music has taken me from club residencies in Vietnam, to weddings and private events both in Southern California and internationally. I’ve played for a wide variety of crowds and venues, and I know how to read a room, match the vibe, and keep the energy flowing.
My goal is to work with you to create the perfect soundtrack for your day. From the first conversation to the last song, I make sure you feel confident that the music and the experience are in great hands. Music moves my soul, and helping people celebrate their most important moments through music is a blessing I don't take for granted. When you book me, you’re getting a veteran DJ who is professional, passionate, and fully dedicated to making your event unforgettable.
