HevrockHevrock

Travis ‘Hevrock’ Banister made the transition to DJ from MC in 2004, after recording mixtapes and performing in a live band for over a decade. His creative twist on new music mixed with the nostalgia of old classics is what makes up his signature style, and is a show in itself.

Born and raised in San Diego, Hevrock is proud to be the official DJ and music curator for The Hotel del Coronado in Coronado CA, an iconic property and a symbol of his city. Other highlights include providing the soundtrack to events for Fashion Week San Diego every year since 2013, and playing stages at San Diego Pride Fest for the last 5 years consecutively. Hevrock has appeared on Dash Radio, iHeart radio, and has shared the stage with the likes of DJ Qbert and DJ Cobra. From the rooftop of the Omnia San Diego for NBC Universal’s Comic-Con party, to a packed nightclub full of screaming party-goers, Hevrock’s style and energy are unmatched.

Avid vinyl collector, and graphic designer in his spare time, there is no shortage of creativity coming from this man. As a resident favorite at many of San Diego’s favorite bars and nightclubs, DJ Hevrock has plenty of experience playing big crowds, and is no stranger to the dancefloor. With an impeccable ear for music, and the ability to move between genres smoothly, his style of mixing old with new is what he has become known for. From his early hip hop and old school roots, to his influences in nu disco, house, and electronic genres, his sets are energetic and flowing, and always a crowd favorite. His sharp cuts and seamless blends keep parties moving and people having fun, because after all, that’s what it’s all about.

"DJ Hevrock was wonderful!

The entire process of working with SGM and DJ Hevrock was wonderful. We had an intimate wedding reception with about 30 guests, and felt very cared for and attended to. We had an opportunity to Zoom with DJ Hevrock before signing any agreements and were able to discuss timeline and costs. The booking process was very easy, and the pricing extremely fair. DJ Hevrock was an excellent MC and applied our preferences for music perfectly. My best friend’s son literally danced himself to sleep. I high recommend SGM for your next event."

"SGM Events truly went above and beyond for our wedding day. After working with Freddie to find people within our budget, we were recommended Curt Owen for acoustic guitar and DJ Hevrock. Both were absolutely phenomenal. Curt is so talented and let us pick three songs we wanted for our ceremony and learned them in a matter of days. Our guests are still gushing about great he was! DJ Hevrock is kind and professional -- and even gave my shy groom a signal so he could cut off the song as soon as he was uncomfortable dancing in front of everyone. Our older guests especially appreciated Hevrock's ability to read the room and not play the music at a volume that they couldn't have a conversation during. I would choose this team over and over again if I could. Thank you all so much for making our wedding day flow so easily."

Erin C., Bride

Jenna B., You're Invited Events

"Travis Hevrock was the perfect DJ for our event. Everyone loved how he didn't "overly DJ" the entire time and he played the music at just the right volume. He was a perfect MC as well and made sure that we could cut off the traditional dances as soon as we wanted to. He is so kind and knows how to help an event run smoothly. We are very thankful we got to work with him and Sleeping Giant Music."

Felt like we were close friends by the end of the event. If I am ever in need of another DJ I will be using Travis and SGM Events. I would give DJ Hevrock 6 stars if they had the option.”

He was our favorite “vendor” to work with and it was an honor to have him at our wedding. Now speaking of the wedding, he of course kicked butt DJing!! Everyone was on the dance floor all night, which is exactly what we wanted. He was so friendly, fun, and helped make it all exciting.

He had some great recommendations to offer for some of the songs we hadn’t thought about (recessional) and worked wonderfully with our coordinator to make sure we had great music for each part of the day. We appreciated his extra work on getting some last minute special requests from our families. Our guests were especially impressed with his beat matching skills! Highly recommend him! SGM events itself was also an easy platform to use – you can access your contract online and have a few folks to send you reminders about payment installments. We were happy with their services!”

We received SO many compliments about the music, and many guests said it was the most fun they had ever had at a wedding. He delivered perfection – from the transitions in the ceremony music to the song selection during dinner to his ability to read the crowd and keep people rocking out all night long. On a personal/professional level, he was also an absolute pleasure to work with. He listened to our ideas – both vague and specific – and turned them into reality. We had a feeling we would be in good hands when we first met him, and he did not disappoint. Thank you!!”

“We just had DJ Hevrock aka Travis as our wedding DJ on Friday 11/11/16 and he was fantastic! One of my good friends is a DJ and I’m a fitness instructor, so we are picky about DJs and music to say the least and Travis left us both totally impressed! Beyond keeping the dance floor packed the entire reception, he picked a fantastic range of music for everyone there; he also kept the entire afternoon and evening moving smoothly from guests arrivals, the ceremony and necessary music changes for procession and recession and then through our intro, first dances, toasts, etc. My groom and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. He is also an incredibly nice guy and I loved working with him beforehand to build the playlist! I would recommend SGM and specifically DJ Hevrock for any event you’re planning!”

Alison C., Bride
November 2016

“Working with SGM Events was one of the easiest parts of my wedding. They were quick to respond and extremely helpful. When my first choice of DJ was unavailable they made great recommendations as to other DJs that might fit my style. I am not sure I could have found a better fit for the vibe I wanted than DJ Hevrock. My wedding guests like to dance and he kept up a great playlist that resulted in no one ever leaving the dance floor. At one point a friend thought I had given the DJ one of my mix tapes because it was perfectly in tune with my style. DJ Hevrock played all of my must plays and politely turned down people trying to make requests (something I didn’t really want). He was well organized, timely, and let the wedding party be the center of attention. I enjoyed working with the entire SGM events team and really felt like they listened to what I wanted. It made for a perfect day.”

Joslyn H., Bride
October 2016

“Hevrock was amazing. At one point I thought he had actually stolen one of my high school/college mix tapes and played it. One friend refused to leave the dance floor the whole night because the music was so good. It could not have gone any better, thanks for helping make the day so special.

Denise C., Mother of Bride
September 2016

“Hevrock’s performance was outstanding! His ability to problem solve and work with on-the-fly directions was incredible. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the symphony he created by blending American and Latin music that both of our cultures liked. Our guests were motivated and well-informed during the transitions. Hevrock is an awesome DJ; professional when he needed to be but always kept a chill vibe, the true essence of a real DJ. We definitely made the right choice by booking with SGM Events.”

Ryan B., Groom
September 2016

“If you want to have an amazing party at your wedding then book DJ Hevrock. My coordinator recommended DJ Hevrock and after interviewing him and one other DJ I decided to go with DJ Hevrock and I am so glad I did. We had some particular music selections and had a particular mood in mind for each portion of the wedding and he did a wonderful job of executing our vision. When it finally came time to dance he was great at playing songs that really got people out of their seats and on to the dance floor. We had a family member play play guitar and sing during the ceremony and DJ Hevrock had all the equipment necessary for that. SGM also provided a microphone and projector/screen for our rehearsal dinner and DJ Hevrock was there to make sure it was setup correctly. DJ Hevrock was wonderful and I’m glad we selected him for our wedding.”

Kendall H., Bride

“DJ Hevrock was wonderful! He did a great job of incorporating our music selections into his playlists for the ceremony and reception. So many guests commented on how good he was. I would definitely recommend him!”

“Travis “DJ Hevrock” Banister lived up to his name and kept our wedding party rocking all night long! Prior to our wedding SGM was one of several vendors we had on our list for entertainment. The “other” guys told us what they offer but seldom asked what we wanted. I remember first meeting Travis at the San Diego Wedding Bazaar at the convention center. He greeted us immediately we made eye contact and was very friendly. My wife, then fiancé, was very familiar with SGM; especially a HUGE fan of DJ Fresh One. We added Travis to our contact list and about 2 months later gave him a call. After the first 5 minutes we already knew he was the one we wanted to MC/DJ our wedding. He listened to us and provided feedback on what we wanted. After meeting with other vendors, who like I mentioned didn’t listen to our needs, we were pretty disappointed with the entertainment service. Travis was different however, he seemed like a close friend and he treated us with respect and we were so happy to sign with SGM. After signing with SGM we met with Travis a few more times and he made our walk through prior to our wedding. He acknowledged and replied to EVERY email, text, and call we made (very dependable). On the wedding night he was awesome and kept the party groovin. He had no problems making audibles when we needed to and communicated well. Thank you Travis for making our special night a night we will forever remember. We highly recommend DJ Hevrock to anyone who is looking for the BEST service, music, dependability, and friendliness in the business.

Another SGM artist DJ Ramsey (SGM) was my cousin’s DJ at her wedding in May and he killed it too!

Forever grateful”

Ron B., Groom
August 2016

“SGM and DJ Hevrock hit it out of the park for our wedding music. SGM was very professional, responsive, and easy to work with to book DJ Hevrock and uplighting. We were able to meet with him in person before booking and made us feel very comfortable with the decision. DJ Hevrock went the extra mile to DJ our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, never missing a beat. We asked him to stick to a specific style and end with a few family traditions, which he nailed. He understood our old-school style and vision for the music and made it happen. Highly recommend working with SGM and DJ Hevrock.”

From renting equipment to all the incredible DJ’s your team is the BEST in SD if not CA!

“DJ Hevrock was The Best. We couldn’t have been happier with everything he did and we were so happy that he was part of our wedding day. He was professional, friendly and just so on point! It really felt like he was just one of our friends / family. Our guests are dancers, but he kept everyone on the dance floor from the second it opened up till when we were forced to leave. Thank you so much for being more than we could have ever expected Travis!”

“Hevrock was awesome!!! We seriously couldn’t have been happier. He did a great job playing all of our requests, and playing a great mix of music. I loved that he played more stuff for the older crowd at the beginning of the wedding and then brought out the jams at the end of the night. He did a great job as an MC, he was dressed nicely, and was very professional. Seriously, great job, you should give him a raise!”
