Jonathan, aka DJ Beardly, has spent most of his life involved in music in one capacity or another. Growing up in church he first got his feet wet by running sound starting at the age of about 10. As life went on he studied and became an audio engineer for Indigital Recording Studios (now called Santa Cruz Recording). From there he definitely caught the music production bug and became fully submersed into the world of production. Having worked on the production side of conferences with companies like Facebook and eBay, he has an eye for detail. Running sound (sometimes managing the stage) for bands like Lukas Nelson, TOTO, Dylan Scott, etc. he has developed an ear for what music should sound like. Pro tip: louder isn’t always better. After spending so much time developing those skills he decided to start working on the other side of production. As the talent! Starting in 2017 he first started Jonathan Williams Productions which has been rebranded, back in 2020, as DJ Beardly. Since Grand Junction is central to so many amazing wedding locations, he has come to the realization that there are more weddings than he can do alone. Which is why he has started bringing on additional DJs that he personally trains and vets until they are ready to take on a wedding or event.
