Bio
DJ Von Woo was born Vaughn Wooster in San Francisco, CA, 1975. Since he can remember, he had always been fascinated with turntables, needle to groove interaction, and mixing songs and sounds. When Hip Hop hit the West coast in 1984, he knew he would be a DJ one day. By 1992 he was able to afford some equipment and some records, and he joined a DJ crew (Spinning Sensations/Ultra Soundz Records). Besides throwing their own parties to rock, they played a lot of weddings, High School dances, and various private and corporate events. But Von's goal was to DJ the nightclub circuit in SF.
It didn't take long to achieve that goal, as Von started playing in nightclubs before he was old enough to be in them. At the age of 17, his friends who DJed the premiere 21+ clubs in San Francisco were letting him open for them, and he eventually worked his way up to headlining slots. He played almost every club San Francisco had to offer between the years of 1996 and 2020, and held residencies at some of the best.
In 2006, Von had the good fortune of getting connected with the Scratch Academy in NYC, a DJ school founded by Run DMC's DJ, the late, great, Jam Master Jay. While Scratch didn't have a school in SF, they doubled as an agency, and had lots of corporate clients in need of DJs in the Bay Area. One of their DJs, Butter B, introduced them to Von, and quickly expanded his horizons by booking him for a variety of corporate events. Among the many unique gigs they hired him for, one of the most notable was on cruise ships, which he spent the majority of his time on between 2008-2020. This lead to opportunities to DJ around the world, to more diverse audiences than he'd ever imagined.
Since then he's kept his feet on shore, and stays busy playing a variety of high-end events, private and corporate parties, virtual events, and weddings.
He is currently building a DJ truck for special events. Think of a food truck, but instead of food, it serves up fat beats and good vibes. It will be the first of it’s kind in the Bay Area. Catch him pulling up to an event near you soon! Learn more at www.VangloriousSF.com
