About Hype Man Entertainment
Our Story
Two neighbors, one shared dream.
Before Hype Man Entertainment was hosting packed dance floors across Arizona, we were two neighbors in a downtown Phoenix apartment complex. We married in 2016, blending our backgrounds in entertainment, business management, and event organization into a shared dream.
What started six years ago as a small local karaoke business grew into a full-service wedding and event company. At the core, we love celebrating love. Being part of the best day of our clients’ lives and watching generations connect on a dance floor is why we do this every weekend.
The Team
Meet Kelvin and Taylor
Kelvin Harper, Co-owner, DJ & Emcee (front of house)
Background: Entertainment is in Kelvin’s DNA. Growing up in Alaska, his first taste of show business came from working in his mother’s balloon telegram company. An entrepreneurial upbringing plus a lifelong passion for singing and performing made the stage inevitable.
On event day: Kelvin is your energy anchor. He reads the room, works the mic with polished charisma, leads crowd-favorite icebreakers, and keeps your dance floor packed from first song to send-off.
Taylor West, Co-owner, Operations & Logistics (back of house)
Background: A Phoenix native raised by entrepreneurial parents in the construction industry, Taylor spent years in corporate America managing operations, marketing, and cross-functional teams.
On event day: Taylor is your organizational engine. He builds your master agenda, coordinates timing with vendors, runs technical setup, and manages the photo booth so you can enjoy your party.
How We Work
The Hype Man Way
Radical stress relief
Planning an event should not feel like a second job. We walk you through a structured timeline process that turns complex agendas into simple conversations.
Direct owner access
You are never passed off to a contractor. You talk to Taylor and Kelvin from the first call to the last dance.
Unmatched energy
We bring real warmth and enthusiasm to every room, treating your guests like family and your event like our own.
Why Two
Two husbands. One shared mission.
We are a two-person company on purpose. Every event we take is one we can personally show up for, which is why we cap our calendar rather than book beyond what the two of us can execute. If we say yes to your date, you get both of us.
