Toneé Macara is a LA/Long Beach based DJ by way of Chicago and Scratch LA DJ Academy graduate. She’s represented by Scratch Events and Prism DJ’s. Her background in event production led her to pursuing the craft of DJ’ing. A love of music and awareness that it is and always will be at the center of a function is why she traded booking the talent to becoming it.

Her Chicago roots are exhibited in most of her sets. She believes in melodic storytelling and leaving a unique musical imprint after each experience. Her love of house music which spans electronic, juke, bmore and jersey club to disco speak loudly during most of her sets and while dance music is close to her heart, she’s best described as an open format DJ, blending Hip Hop, Soul, Funk, R&B, Reggae, Dancehall, Baile Funk, Rock, Pop, Nu-Wave, Punk, and Latin Jams to name a few.

Toneé Macara has partnered with a variety of clients and event types from corporate to nightlife throughout southern California and virtually. A few notable clients include AT&T, BET, Clubhouse Global, Fullscreen, Hillman Grad Productions and ViacomCBS. She’s spoken on a panel with Ladies of Sound and has been featured in VoyageLA Magazine.

“Connecting human-kind via Tunage” is her motto. However the delivery, her aim is consistent. Bringing people together with music as the universal language is the vibrating joy that sends out a ripple effect on the dance floor.
