KC Campbell-High Profile DJ/MC

KC Campbell’s career at VOX DJs began at an early age. Shawn Sedlacek, VOX DJs Founder, offered KC a job after noticing his fun, outgoing personality and his love for music at a local Manhattan Beach Intermediate middle school dance. KC quickly became one of VOX DJs most highly requested DJs. Focusing on high school and youth events, KC was truly destined to perform and entertain.

KC attended local Mira Costa High School, and then went off to the University of Colorado, Boulder, and majored in Communication. He kept his focus on performing, and continued DJ’ing for his fraternity Sigma Chi’s legendary “late night” functions, acted in numerous plays and short films, and also hosted his own radio show for the local Boulder, Colorado radio station.

After graduating from Colorado in 2000, KC returned home to Manhattan Beach and became the Division Manager for VOX DJs. From 2000 to 2007, KC helped to build VOX DJs from 3 DJs total and 150 events a year, to 10 DJs total and over 400 events a year.

In 2008, KC purchased VOX DJs from Shawn Sedlacek and is now the owner and head DJ at VOX DJs.   KC has played for celebrity clients such as Diana Ross, Terrell Owens, and Access Hollywood’s Nancy O’Dell and Billy Bush.  He is the featured MC for Barry Manilow’s Las Vegas concert tours and was personally requested to DJ the wedding of Kansas City Chiefs Quarterback, Matt Cassel.

In his free time, KC enjoys playing guitar, piano, singing, working out and traveling.

Roderick Gaerlan-High Profile DJ/MC

 Born in the Philippine Islands, Roderick Gaerlan (AKA "Raw Styles") was raised in San Jose, California. He discovered DJing at Sheppard Middle School (San Jose), when he started going to house parties to listen to friends DJ. Soon he was hooked on DJ battles and throwing the best parties around.

 

After graduation, he joined his childhood buddies' DJ crew as the MC and performed at house parties, high schools/colleges, weddings and corporate events. His passion for good music and his outgoing personality led him to start R.A.W. Entertainment (a DJ/MC, Production & Event Company) where he performed for events all over San Francisco Bay Area working alongside, and learning from, top legendary Bay Area DJs. In 1999, Roderick sold his company to his business partner to pursue a career in dotcoms. Today, R.A.W. Entertainment remains one of the Premiere DJ/MC and Events Companies in the San Francisco Bay Area.

 

After the big dotcom bust, Roderick went back to school in 2002 and graduated from Cal Berkeley in Mass Communications/Public Policy while continuing to DJ. In early 2008, Roderick joined forces with KC Campbell and the DJ/MC powerhouse VOX DJs to head the Sales & Marketing arm upon his move to Los Angeles. His current DJ residencies include the sexy Zinc Lounge (Shade Hotel) and Mucho Lounge in Manhattan Beach, and such clubs/venues as J Lounge (Downtown LA), Stone Rose (Beverly Hills), Andaz Hotel (W. Hollywood), and Palihouse (W. Hollywood), to name a few. 

 

When Roderick is not working, he lives for the moment. His life passions include skydiving, scuba, motorcycle riding, salsa dancing, photography, sports and traveling. He has been to 17 different countries and speaks fluent Spanish and Tagalog.
