DJ EM

DJ Em, also widely recognized as Mr. KABOOOOOM!, was born and raised in Paramaribo, Suriname, before moving to St. Maarten at the tender age of 17. Now at 40, he has made St. Maarten his beloved home, cherishing the life he has built there. Throughout the years, he has graced stages at prominent venues such as Sunset Beach Bar, Bliss Nightclub, Le Shore, Tantra, Sopranos Piano Bar, and many others across St. Maarten and beyond, including international gigs in Saint Barts and Saba.

His journey into the world of DJing began early at just nine years old, influenced by his uncles who were also DJs. Initially captivated by the DJ equipment's complexity and potential, he quickly developed a bond with the art, starting with cassettes and vinyl records long before the era of digital mixing. This foundation instilled in him a profound respect for the traditional skills of DJing.

Music is his passion, not just for the sounds but for the connection it allows him to make with his audience. He thrives on the energy of the crowd, carefully observing their reactions to tailor his music selection perfectly, whether it's to energize them, make them jump, or simply raise their hands in joy.

Currently, DJ Em is focusing on his residency gigs, private events, villa bookings, and weddings. He has a regular schedule that includes performances at Soggy Dollar Bar every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
