Owner Manuel Medina is a local entrepreneur, entertainment lighting and sound aficionado and father extraordinaire.

Medina has been DJing since 1988, where he hosted several house parties. At that time, he had attended a particularly inspiring concert, where the music and the sound were synchronized, creating a mesmerizing display. A love affair began that day with entertainment lighting, that, paired with his love for music, would later grow and blossom into a business.

Originally from King City, Medina fell in love with Paso Robles after graduating high school in 1993. Four years after moving to Paso, his beautiful daughter was born. Medina put his dreams temporarily on hold to pursue his new focus of being an outstanding single parent.

In 2006, he decided to go back to school, and graduated Cuesta College in 2010 with an A.A. in Management and an A.A. in General Studies. He opened his company again officially in 2011, older, wiser and ready to pursue his dreams and create a wonderful life for himself and his daughter.
