Terry Hill starting performing as DJ Jamalot at many of the clubs on the Monterey Peninsula in the late 80’s. He’s played for the Enlisted and NCO Clubs at Fort Ord. He has even performed on the Presidio at the old Edge Club. He is very well respected within the DJ community and he continues to “keep it in the mix” while staying relevant and playing to his crowds. With the technological advances to the DJ community by way of digital music and video, he no longer has to lug around those crates of records, only his trusty Mac Book Pro’s in their stead.

Welcome to HSAC Terry.
