DJ YANN

International Open Format DJ | Corporate, Luxury & Premium Events

DJ Yann is a Dubai-based international DJ with more than 20 years of experience across nightlife, luxury hospitality, corporate events and private celebrations.

Originally establishing his career on the London circuit, Yann built an extensive background performing across clubs, hotels and high-profile events, with residencies and appearances including Chinawhite, The May Fair Hotel, Café Royal, Hilton Park Lane and Café de Paris. His career has since taken him across Europe, Africa and the Middle East, establishing him as an experienced and highly adaptable international performer.

A true Open Format specialist, Yann is comfortable working across an exceptionally broad musical spectrum. His sets can move naturally through House, R&B, Hip Hop, Disco, Funk, 80s and 90s classics, Latin, Arabic, Bollywood, Afrobeat and Amapiano, allowing him to adapt his music to the audience, environment and direction of each event.

Throughout his career, Yann has performed alongside or opened for international artists including Usher, Will.I.Am & The Black Eyed Peas, Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Rita Ora, Gwen Stefani, Nile Rodgers & Chic and Lady Gaga. His experience also includes after-parties connected with artists including Bruno Mars, Jason Derulo, Ne-Yo, Nas, Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg and Timbaland.

His event credentials include the BRIT Awards, Ivor Novello Awards, Wireless Festival UK, Silverstone British Grand Prix hospitality, Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, international album launches, movie premieres and major New Year's Eve celebrations in Dubai.

Yann's luxury hospitality experience is equally extensive, with performances across venues and brands including Atlantis The Royal, Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental, One&Only The Palm, The Ritz-Carlton Dubai, W Hotels, Shangri-La, The Dorchester, The Ned, Nikki Beach and Soho House.

What particularly sets Yann apart is his ability to work across very different event environments. From premium corporate events, award ceremonies and luxury weddings to nightlife, yachts and private celebrations, his extensive musical knowledge allows him to read mixed audiences and adapt the direction of a set while maintaining the energy and atmosphere of the event.

Experienced on both turntables and CDJs, Yann combines extensive music knowledge with the technical experience and professionalism required for high-level events, hospitality venues and international clients.

DJ Yann is available for bookings across Dubai, the UAE and internationally through Panther Productions.
