DJ Chris Hesano grew up in the suburbs of Detroit and was born to Iraqi and American parents Ron & Theresa Hesano. Developing a love for music at an early age; it was Chris’ Uncle Francis, also a career DJ, who first introduced him to the art of mixing & performing. It was when his uncle decided to step out of the limelight that he handed down a mountain of CDs, records, turntables and a mixer to the young apprentice.
Chris then spent numerous hours in his bedroom practicing and playing everything from Top 40 to Classic Rock to Hip-Hop, Chaldean and Lebanese.
Living in an oversaturated DJ market, Chris quickly rose above the crowd from a bedroom DJ, to high school house parties to now performing at major corporate events, established nightclubs, private events and more! It was in 2008 when Hesano got his first big break into the club scene and was invited to perform at the Bayside Grill for their annual Halloween Bash. Shortly after, he was offered a 1 year residency at West Bloomfield’s Bar 7 where he met high-end clients and guests such as: NHL Vancouver Canucks hockey pro Ryan Kesler, Sprint PCS Experts CPO Sam Kosho, and Barbat Inc. CEO Louie Barbat.
