Bree DeLano is a pioneering DJ, music curator, and creative director whose career has helped shape the sound and culture of modern nightlife. A first-generation female force in a male-dominated industry, she became one of the first women to hold major DJ residencies across the Las Vegas Strip, an in demand event DJ, all while serving as an Entertainment Director instrumental in expanding the city’s musical diversity.

Known for her unmatched ear and instinctive ability to read a room, Bree has built her reputation on transformative music experiences. Bree is a music steward. Her open-format sets seamlessly move across genres, blending rare selections, deep cuts, and unexpected classics into journeys that feel both nostalgic and entirely new. She has shared stages with and opened for legendary artists including Bruno Mars, Tony Bennett, De La Soul, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Michael McDonald.

Long before stepping behind the decks, she managed DJs. Bree was a respected tastemaker long before "influencers" were a career title—producing influential events, writing as a music critic, and working across artist development, A&R, and soundtrack production, including her role as Associate Producer on the High School High soundtrack for Atlantic Records. Her foundation in curation continues to define her work, from private clients and brand consulting to her evolving projects on digital platforms.

In Las Vegas, her role as Entertainment & Creative Director at Insert Coin(s) marked a cultural shift—creating space for genre-fluid programming and emerging talent in a city dominated by mainstream nightlife. She later launched Pop-UP Live, a celebrated live music series built on the concept of “big shows in small spaces,” earning accolades including Best New Party and Best Concert for Anderson .Paak’s debut Las Vegas performance.

Now based in Los Angeles, Bree continues to operate at the intersection of music, culture, and storytelling—DJing high-end events, consulting as a Music Director, and developing on camera projects such as "New Music Mondays", "Vinyl Stories", and the soon to be launched, Let It Breathe Radio, a digial destination for music lovers to discover and celebrate music.

Forever a "club kid", the dancefloor represents more than just the canvas to her art, it symbolizes analog frequency in a digital world. Although no longer DJing nightlife residencies, the dancefloor will forever be her playground and with that in mind and in heart, Bree hosts a (pop-up) party called "That's What Friends Are For" with best friend and film/tv director, Rashidi Harper. "That's What Friends Are For" is a party celebrating friendship, deep cuts of all flavors, and the lost art of connection on the dancefloor. It's a very special night of music in Los Angeles that will find it's way to cities around the world.

A self-made creative with a multidimensional career, Bree DeLano remains defined by one thing above all: an unwavering commitment to taking people on a journey through music.
