Three things Dylan does well.

Whether you need someone to own the whole thing or one specialist to slot into your team, he's comfortable in either seat.

Event direction

Concept to curtain. Creative direction, production design, budgets, suppliers, logistics and calling the show on the day, so you can be in the room instead of behind it.

Recent briefs have ranged from a leadership townhall across two venues to a branded Fiat 500 roadshow built from the wheels up.

Good forConferences, townhalls, product launches, incentive trips, summits, brand experiences

DJ and sound

Corporate parties, awards nights, launches and private celebrations. Dylan brings his own sound and lighting, reads the room rather than a playlist, and can run the whole technical show, not just the decks.

Fifteen years behind the decks, including a residency on Necker Island.

Good forChristmas parties, summer balls, awards dinners, drinks receptions, weddings

Creative and content

Videography, editing, event websites and virtual platforms. Dylan founded the in-house creative team at Firebird Events and built its virtual event platform from scratch during 2020.

Useful when you want the film, the microsite and the room to feel like they came from the same brain.

Good forEvent films, highlight reels, hybrid streams, registration sites, presentation design

Two decades, in three chapters

Flagship events for global brands

Anniversary townhalls, product launches and a roadshow in a wrapped Fiat 500, delivered end to end.

Two years on private islands

Resident DJ on Necker Island, then AV project lead across the British Virgin Islands, from Moskito Island to Oil Nut Bay.

Virtual, before it was normal

When venues closed in 2020, he built a virtual event platform from scratch and kept a live-events business profitable.

Behind the decks

Dylan has DJed since 2009 and was the first full-time resident DJ on Necker Island, opening for Sean Paul, Kygo, Gipsy Kings, Jewel and Natalie Imbruglia.

Since then it's been corporate parties, summer balls, awards nights, product launches and weddings across the UK. Open format, and pitched to the room: a drinks reception, a wedding breakfast and a dancefloor at midnight all need a different DJ, and he's happy being all three in one evening.

He also brings his own sound and lighting, and he's the DJ who will quietly fix the projector before the speeches.

About Dylan

Creative and technically minded, with a habit of saying yes to the ambitious and unconventional briefs and then working out how.

Dylan started in IT and AV, spent two years running sound, lighting and events on private islands in the Caribbean, and has led the creative side of Firebird Events since 2017, building its in-house creative team from scratch and taking the business online when the pandemic closed every venue. He now works independently with agencies, venues and direct clients.

He's most useful on the jobs where the plan is only half-written: the two-venue day, the car that needs to be a stand, the platform that doesn't exist yet. Calm under pressure, hands-on when it counts, and good company on a long get-in.
