J Clark started as a music mixer with our team several years ago and has moved up to one of our most requested DJ’s every year. His strength is connecting with people and really creating a genuine relationship from the first meeting until the day of the event.

Truly a favorite personality of multiple top wedding vendors around the Nashville area for his constant smile, his “can do” attitude makes the stress of those big days seem a little less.

Kamron Patterson grew up in a very athletic family in Cleveland, Ohio.  He and his three sisters all played soccer but would also spend time together engaging in hiking, camping, snowboarding, and just about anything else they could get outside and do.  As his athletic career grew he would start to develop skills for creating warm-up CD's for his High School sports teams and was therefore introduced to the power of music.  After High School, Kam played soccer at a Division 3 school outside Cleveland called Hiram College and this is where he began his DJ career.  Just 2 weeks into his freshman year, Kam landed his first gig at the only bar on campus and quickly became the house DJ playing every Friday and Saturday night the rest of the year. 

It was in 2012 when Kam had the opportunity to DJ his first wedding and in the summer of 2013  Kam decided he was going to focus on his music.  He moved to Tennessee to study Audio Production at MTSU and has been a happy Nashville resident ever since.  Through his education Kam has become adept in many aspects of the Audio Visual world and has had the opportunity to work with celebrities such as Tim McGraw and Ruben Studdard.  He has honed his skills in live sound production and has landed jobs with notable establishments such as Puckett's Grocery and Southside Community Church.  Kam has a knack for creativity and knows how to get the job done.  Entertainment has always been a part of Kam's life and now he is unlocking his full potential.  Just as he has always done in athletics Kam now practices and strives everyday to grow his abilities as a entertainer.  Kam moved to Tampa, Florida in 2018 and is heading up the Snyder Entertainment initiative in the Sunshine State!

DJ, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, Chase Akers grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, working in the studio of his father: legendary composer and arranger, Tim Akers (Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Earth, Wind, and Fire). The R&B and soul music of his childhood helped to shape his own brand of soulful electronica and house that he began creating as a teenager. Chase found djaying a few years later and began to combine thumping house rhythms with R&B-centric tracks to create engaging DJ sets. Influenced by hip hop, downtempo, and house - he would soon develop his own brand of cross-genre blending that features pop-centric song melody and seamless mixtures of danceable rhythms.

Chase learned the ropes playing in the Nashville club circuit at venues such as 12th and Porter, Mai, and Virago. After his initial success, he began to acquire headlining DJ positions at venues such as Bastion, Valentine, and The Back Corner - before closing out the Vanderbilt University commencement party for over 6,000 people.

When not performing as a DJ, Chase spends his days producing his own music - as well as tracks for various artists both locally and globally, such as Chancellor Warhol, Pyxis, STEALTH, and others. His production work brought him to London in early 2017 to collaborate with some of the city’s top writers and producers - creating tracks that exemplify his grooving production style. Centered around soulful melody and lush textures, Chase’s music blends effortlessly into his dynamic DJ sets. Whether playing a set of throwback hip hop at a cocktail lounge, or thumping high-energy tracks for a club full of party-goers - Chase will command the crowd until the end of the night.
