Background
Preston aka DJ TH3ORY, which he describes as the moment when music picks up and the energy shifts. At his core, Preston is a storyteller -- through poetry, conversation, songwriting, and DJing. He believes every beat is a sentence, every transition is a chapter, and every event a story waiting for the right soundtrack.
Born and raised in Montgomery, Alabama, Preston has always been a lover of anything with a good groove. If it has soul, rhythm, heart, or that unmistakable cookout energy, he’s locked in. He grew up on '90s and early 2000s pop, New Jack Swing, RnB, and all the feel-good classics that make people shout, “oh, that’s my song!” He was the kid who had Fall Out Boy, Panic! At the Disco, 30 Seconds to Mars, and All-American Rejects right alongside Whitney Houston and Luther Vandross in the same playlist. And yes, Disney soundtracks absolutely count as bangers in his world. He’s always had range… but more importantly, he’s always had heart.
Long before he officially became a DJ, Preston was a musical artist -- singing, writing, recording, and turning lived experience into sound. He was the "voluntold" DJ for friends and family for functions and celebrations. That love for storytelling followed him everywhere, even into his time employed at Microsoft, where he created and hosted a podcast centered around people’s stories. No matter the lane, he has always been the one holding the mic, curating moments, and helping people feel something real. That’s when it clicked: music, storytelling, and human connection aren’t hobbies for him… they’re home.
As a DJ, that’s exactly what Preston brings to weddings and events: a feeling of home. A feeling of “this moment matters.” He doesn’t just press play… he reads the room, feels the rhythm of the people, and builds a night that is intentional, warm, and unforgettable. Whether he’s spinning cookout classics, 2000s nostalgia, emo sing-alongs, country party anthems, RnB slow jams, or that one track that gets the whole room yelling “turn that up!”, he leans into authenticity, groove, and pure joy.
Music isn’t just something he does; it’s the language his life naturally speaks. His goal is always the same: to give clients and their guests a night that feels like joy, rhythm, nostalgia, and good memories all rolled into one.
If you want a DJ who brings personality, depth, energy, rhythm, range, and a storyteller’s touch to your celebration… Preston might just be the perfect fit.
