About DJ Tessa

With a passion for music and commitment to diversity in the events industry, Tessa Young has established herself as a standout DJ and booking agent. She launched her career behind the decks over a decade ago and has played countless corporate and premiere events since.

Recently, she performed for CAPE’s (Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment) RADIANCE: A Celebration of API Women and Non-Binary Achievement in Entertainment, Amazon, Disney, Hulu, and Netflix.

Early in her career, people often told Tessa that they had difficulty finding women who DJ. In response, she launched PRISM DJs, a booking agency specializing in corporate events. Her mission through PRISM DJs is to promote diversity and close the gender gap in the DJ industry by providing a space where clients can hire talented, experienced female-identifying DJs.

PRISM DJs was established in 2016 with four DJs. Over the years, Tessa has facilitated more than 400 events, showcasing the talents of over 40 women DJs. Her approach involves collaborating closely with clients to understand their musical preferences and desired atmosphere. Whether it's a sophisticated lounge ambiance with house music or a corporate event calling for '00s throwbacks, Tessa excels in connecting clients with the ideal DJ to bring their vision to life.
