About Me
DJ OB1 is Columbus's premier and most sought-after DJ. He's the name venue programmers, event hosts, and promoters call first when the floor needs to fill and the energy needs to last all night. From packed Friday nights and rooftop sessions to weddings, corporate events, private parties, brand activations, and festival stages, OB1 reads the room and builds a set tailored to that crowd, that hour, that vibe.
The sound is intentionally open-format. Hip-hop, house, R&B, throwbacks, and current chart anthems all show up in a set, because Columbus crowds are as varied as the city itself. No two OB1 sets land the same, but every one of them moves people. That's the reputation, and it's why the calendar fills weeks out.
OB1 holds regular sets across Columbus's strongest rooms, including Summit Music Hall, Ugly Tuna Saloona, Oddfellows Liquor Bar, Coordinate Space (Franklinton Fridays and Creative House Sessions), Apt B behind Bodega, The Attic Comedy, the Alley Island Arts Festival, and the OSU DJ Club residency. From downtown venues and North High Street neighborhood bars to the Franklinton creative district, the footprint covers every corner of Columbus nightlife.
Book OB1 for weddings, corporate events, private parties, festivals, club nights, or any room that needs a DJ who can read every crowd.
