Behind the Decks with Martin Dsouza
I’m Martin, and this is the chaos and energy that happens before I hit the stage. From modeling shoots to prepping for wedding sets, this is my life in between the gigs.
A few shots from a new press kit I'm working on. I believe in constantly evolving and hitting the reset button to work on new things.
A few different expressions captured during a photoshoot. It's fun to switch from DJ mode to model mode.

About Behind the Decks
You usually see me behind the DJ console, but a lot of what I do happens before the music starts. Whether it is balancing acting gigs in the city or prepping a specific playlist for a client, I treat every event like a fresh creative project. If you are wondering how I prep or why my multi-hyphenate background makes me a better fit for your event, let's chat about your vision.
I spent years in a regular job before realizing that my real passion was the chaos of live performance. Today, I balance being an actor and model with my career as a DJ and Karaoke Jockey, and honestly, that blend is exactly what I bring to your party. My background in front of the camera means I am comfortable on the mic and know how to read a crowd, not just play music from a pre-made list.
Why the Variety Matters
When you hire me, you aren't just getting someone who stands behind a deck for five hours. You are getting an MC who knows how to hold an audience's attention, whether it is a corporate gala in Indiranagar or a destination wedding in Italy. My acting experience helps me pivot when the vibe of the room changes, and my modeling work keeps me mindful of the aesthetics and professionalism required for high-end events.
How I Work
I believe the best events are collaborative. When we start chatting about your date, I don't just ask for a genre. I want to know who is attending, what the energy is like, and what kind of memories you want to create. I have spent 11 years navigating Bangalore's nightlife, from historic spots to modern clubs, and I bring that adaptability to every private show. Whether you need a high-energy dance floor for a Sangeet or a polished, professional atmosphere for a brand launch, I customize the set to fit the room.
