Award-winning open format DJ Sofa King Evil has become one of the most sought after music figures in the industry. Occupying a prominent place amongst DJs in the southeast and across the globe, the master mood shifter was crowned with Creative Loafing’s Best of Atlanta Award in 2012. Over the years, Sofa Evil King has rocked parties for Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes and Erykah Badu as well as been hired to curate the soundtrack for a myriad of nightlife establishments, prominent brands and music festivals, including the NCAA, Colt 45 and OneMusicFest. He built his culturally diverse platform on seamless yet aggressive transitions as well as his unique mixing techniques that invite people to move in vibrational harmony or bounce off walls.

Theo Celeste began spinning in high school as a creative outlet to increase his social currency, but also because he had a deeply rooted interest in hip-hop, particularly southern rap. Raised in Clayton County, just south of Atlanta, he adopted mixtape legend DJ Jelly’s style until he was able to define his own. Heavily influenced by Three 6 Mafia, Outkast, Bone Thugs, 2 Live Crew and the whole Miami bass sound, the young turntablist who plays both vinyl and cds, understood early on the power of connecting and uniting people through music.

Theo acquired his "Sofa King" moniker during his college radio shock jock days at Clayton State University where he engaged his audience by pushing boundaries and buttons. His bold, tongue-in-cheek on-air behavior made him such a popular multi-media personality on campus. A pivotal player in the game, Sofa King Evil easily separated himself from the pack by offering more than just the ability to bring a party to life. In addition to his wide range of experience and musical taste, he creates the artwork and provides marketing and promotional services for his bookings.

Since 2007, Theo has used his vocal talent as the in-game host/ public address announcer for Clayton State University’s basketball team, the Lakers.

An innovator and tastemaker, DJ Sofa King Evil’s impact is unquantifiable. He continues to use his gifts and interests to unify people by transporting them to magical places that create memories and moments that last a lifetime.
