When Greg Cahill showed up at our house it brought a whole new level of respect and commitment to the casual guitar lesson. This dude just brings it. First of all, a rock star shows up at your house who is incredibly prepared and interested in what motivates your individual child. The entire family looked forward to Greg's visits. He would make time to offer tips to my husband (an accomplished singer but fledgling guitar player), while devoting his time 100% to our son in a way that was disciplined yet fun. Our son has since moved on to golf as his forte. We miss our time with Greg!

Pretty impressive for 30-minute lessons a week apart in a 4 year old who can barely concentrate on any task for more than a few minutes. The set up seems cool here. Music rooms with more of a rock music instruction focus. Some individual lessons and some whole bands of kids playing. Loungey area to hang out with snacks and air hockey. Really cool spot!

Will definitely be hiring them again for my next occasion. Thank you also to the owner Ivan for being so courteous and professional!

We got married in Hawaii and came back to the mainland to have a big reception with all our family and friends. With Christian's enthusiasm, he practically took control of the whole event - even things he knew he didn't have to do but wanted to. That was important to us and oh so helpful on the day of the event. He completely came through with everything we agreed on and then some. He did our lighting, the MC/DJ'ing, etc, etc. Even coordinated with all the other vendors we had going that day to make sure everything was just perfect for us. He Simply amazing. If you're looking for the absolute best DJ in all of Southern California, Afterburn is it. Want to ask me more questions about how well of a job Afterburn does, just contact me and I'll be more than happy to talk to you about it.

As a DJ, I had a strong sense of what music I wanted including what a good DJ is versus a bad one. Plus, music was one of the few major wedding planning responsibilities I was given, other than showing up both on time and dressed properly :) Let's just say, I did not want to screw this up by hiring a lame DJ. Anyway, it was a few years ago... a perfect day in Malibu... and Christian arrived on time and ready. He has a system for working with his clients, which definitely influenced me in realizing how organized I need to be when preparing for a serious gig like a wedding. Christian has the experience and that allowed me to worry about one less thing on my wedding day. Like most cases, I think success heavily depends on communication and Christian always responded to all of my emails in a timely manner. One of our biggest concerns was for the reception to be fun, not drag on slowly like many do, and for everyone to enjoy themselves and dance!! He definitely met that expectation with great song selections, solid mixing (not abrupt stop/play or non-beat matched transitions.. one of my DJ pet peeves), and professional MCing (not cheesy) that helped lead the party along the planned timeline. The dance floor was filled all night! Finally, Christian will go above and beyond if need be. One example I clearly remember is when the projector screen became unstable due to the increase in wind (outdoor reception) and Christian jumped right behind it to keep it propped up (for the entire slideshow). How awesome is that?
