Aran Keating

I’ve been running Ridiculous Entertainment as my main business for 14 years. I picked up DJing as a hobby when I was in high school, falling in love with hip-hop and learning to scratch records.  Throughout my college years, I DJed tons of parties.  I now also work in live audio engineering, record albums in my home studio, play in bands, and was a founder and Executive Director of the Baltimore Rock Opera Society (BROS). Even with this range of interests, DJing weddings and private parties has been my main career path for a long time now and I still really enjoy it!
