I’ve been DJing for over 5 years now, & I’ve taught myself how to DJ. I do play at bars/clubs/house parties & events. I’m an open format DJ, meaning I play all types of music. I’ve played at event venues and even at Thalian Hall in Wilmington, NC. I’ve also played at the Pravda in downtown Wilmington. I’ve been doing house parties for years now. I’ve haven't had a bad review from clients & I conduct myself professionally. I pride myself in making my audiences enjoy themselves, smile, & dance. I’m also not the type of DJ that will turn off the music right when the time they’re paid till is over. I hope you have enough confidence & trust in me to let me rock your event!
We could not recommend DJ Motiv more. He was an exceptional DJ for our wedding in December, so easy to work with, and made us feel completely confident and at ease throughout the process. We had so many people tell us it was the best wedding dance floor they've been at, and the music was fantastic. We couldn't be happier that we hired him, and would do it again in a heartbeat.

David Malachi, better known by his stage name DJ Motiv, is a DJ and songwriter based in North Carolina. Never afraid to go too deep, his emotive musical selections is his own therapy. Growning up on his father’s eclectic combination of soul music (Frankie Beverly & Maze , Erykah Badu), Funk (Parliament, Marvin Gaye), synth-infused 80s music (Depeche Mode, Gary Numan)… all which became infused with his own love for both hip-hop and video game music, DJ Motiv ended up with quite a mixed spectrum of musical influence. Today, this translates into sets where he picks apart and infuses together all the pieces of this music that he loves best.
He is a very active member of his local community, David is no stranger to the ups-and-downs of a small-town music scene. Though he loves playing in Nightclubs, Weddings and Special Events, his love for music goes beyond the spectrum of mixing tunes. As a producer, artist, and promoter, he has found plenty of ways to express himself musically.
When he's not behind the decks, DJ Motiv can be found in the studio working on new music. He has released several successful singles and EPs over the years from artist and talent he has managed, and is currently working on his debut album.
In addition to his successful career as a DJ, Motiv is also a successful producer and songwriter. He has worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Uncle Murda, Digital Extremes, and Alix Lapri. His production credits also include television and film, such as the soundtrack for the hit video game “WarFrame” and the film “Slender.”
