| DJ Mary Mac |
| Wedding & Events DJ |
Born in Quebec City, Mary Mac grew up in Kingston Ontario and moved to Ottawa as a teen. Ottawa was home to the birth of her love for electronic music and first ‘DJ’ vinyl purchase – Cowgirl by Underworld, with Rez on the flip.
Mary Mac started DJing in clubs in early 2000, and was one of a handful of DJs in Canada pioneering the UK breakbeat sound. She accomplished a landslide victory in the High Noon Champion DJ battle, beating out Doc Savage in a record–breaking win. Securing several residencies, Mary Mac began headlining in Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and Halifax at clubs like Collections, Mercury Lounge, The Well, Aria, Saphir, Blue Dog, The Lab, Club Red, and Reflections.
Feeling there was a void in the Ottawa scene, Mary partnered with local drum & bass DJ Grant Kellett to form Breakbeat Empire. They hosted a weekly breaks and d&b format night at MTL & Co. called FRESH, and kept things vibrant with their dual format and weekly blend of local talent and headliners.
Relocating to Vancouver in 2005 Mary Mac moved comfortably into the local drum & bass scene to play shows around the city with the likes of Ray Keith, Benny Page, High Contrast and the Automatic Crew. Over the years she has continued to broaden her musical repertoire with hip hop, dubstep, house, and a blend of genres in every set.
Comfortable in all genres, it has been a natural progression for DJ Mary Mac to perform weddings, corporate events, and venues that need a specifically tailored music for the environment. Mary Mac has been playing for over 14 years and has headlined shows across North America including Halifax, St. John’s, Moncton, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria, San Francisco, San Diego & Mexico City.
Mary Mac fully customizes your party's music: with a background of experience in everything from Motown, Rock, Hip Hop, House, Top 40 & Pop to Jazz and Underground Electronic Dance Music, your party will sound however you desire. Mary Mac's tastes are extremely varied, and so her musical style and mixing ability is also very diverse. No two parties are alike, and DJ Mary Mac works hard to cater to you and your audience's taste.
"My wife and I had Mary Mac DJ our wedding and she did an amazing job. She was very responsive to music suggestions, had everything we requested and overall provided a great mix through the entire night. She even stayed well past when the wedding was supposed to shut down and had everyone on the dance floor! I would recommend Mary to anyone looking for a wedding dj. I’ve been to a lot of weddings and she was the best I have experienced. We had friends ask about booking her as soon as the wedding was over."
