For the past decade, my blend of live sax with DJ sets has made a lasting impact at high-end events worldwide, combining the versatility of a DJ with the appeal of a live musician.

I’m Tim Lacatena, a Los Angeles-based DJ and Saxophonist. With over a decade in high-end events, I've DJ’d for Super Bowl LVII, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, Google, Gucci, Porsche, BMW, Adidas, IBM Think, Space Center Houston (NASA), New Orleans Jazz Fest (Sazerac House), NEOM Saudi Arabia, Dreamforce, The Emmys, and opened for Alanis Morissette as DJ/saxophonist.

I’m based in Los Angeles and DJ/play saxophone all over the country and globally, with a focus on SoCal (LA, OC, San Diego, Palm Springs, Santa Barbara). I also DJ often in Vegas, Phoenix, and San Fran.

I DJ events ranging from corporate conferences, brand activations, and networking functions to cocktail hours, premieres, dance parties, festivals, and galas.
