For years, D’Arce has made it his mission to rock parties, corporate events, and intimate gatherings through music and interactive experiences.
We took a seat with the New York based DJ and asked him about his career so far and where he see’s himself going next.
Where is the farthest you’ve traveled to?
I’ve been fortunate to work with internationally acclaimed planners who’ve taken me to South America, Europe and all over the United States. Recently, I’ve been to Cartagena, Colombia, Tuscany, Italy & Provence, France.
Who are some of your previous clients?
Some of my corporate clients have been Coach, InStyle Magazine, Food & Wine, Bacardi Rum, American Express, Minnesota Vikings, Maybelline New York, Polaroid, Angry Orchard, Oscar de la Renta, Tao Group, Converse, WeWork, ASOS, Bank of America, Dove and much more.
Where has your work been featured?

We heard you used to be a chiropractor. How does mixing beats compare to working on patients?
While deejaying and partying might not be the most conventional way to heal people, the power of entertainment is strong. I put my all into making sure every guest leaves happy.
What was one of your fondest memory as a DJ?
I had a client that had me travel with them & 50 of their friends and family on a private sale yacht in the South of France. We departed NICE and sailed to St. Tropez, Formentera, Mallorca & Ibiza. I was their private DJ for that week. That was a first for me.
