-DJ BUDGET
Born in Texas and raised in a small town in Iowa, Zach found his way further north after high school, to the City of Paynesville. After meeting Chelsea Hartmann, Zach became a father of three and found himself more involved in the music scene. Following Chelsea around in support of her music career and hobby, Zach found himself quickly purchasing and owning a full P.A. System and lights. Learning how to operate and what to listen for, Zach started to create tracks with backing vocals and creating full length shows for many events. Learning quickly and being faced with many obstacles, Zach soon became a DJ and found himself on stage next to Chelsea Hartmann as their new creation started. When Zach is not in the music scene, Zach is a full time truck driver, father, and partner, driving to succeed and watch his family thrive.
XANE
LYMAN
XANDAN
Xandan is the older brother by no more than 4 minutes, beating his younger brother, Xane, into the world. The twins, Xandan and Xane, joined this world, ready to dig their heals in and take it on at full force. A year after Xandan and Xane, came to tag along was their little brother Lyman. These three are a team to be reckoned with. With so much energy and the lack of entertainment to burn it, these three amigos were the reason for this company to come to life. Xandan, Xane, and Lyman are the first to test all of our products, all while learning what true, hard work really is, understanding the value of work and the rewards.
