DJ Hayden Mailloux, widely known as DJ Hstorm, has been honing his craft for over 10 years, beginning the summer before his sophomore year of college. Raised in a musical household—his father on piano and his brother on guitar and drums—Hayden developed an early appreciation for rhythm, sound, and performance. Inspired by EDM legends like Avicii, Deadmau5, Tiësto, and Skrillex, he taught himself to DJ using YouTube and a laptop before upgrading to a Numark Mixtrack and diving deeper into the art. What began with campus mixes and unforgettable college parties quickly evolved into major opportunities: performing for crowds of 3,000+ with pyrotechnics, touring with GrooveBoston, and opening for big names like Cheat Codes and DJ Pauly D. Since September 2023, Hayden has proudly been part of the Main Event Entertainment roster, bringing his talent and professionalism to a wider audience.
After years of club residencies across southern New Hampshire, Hayden realized that while the nightlife scene was exciting, it wasn’t fully fulfilling. The transition from clubs to weddings became a transformative chapter in his career. He found that wedding crowds offered richer musical diversity, deeper emotional moments, and a stronger connection to the people he was playing for—something he truly values. Blending top 40 remixes, hip-hop, electronic, classics, and throwbacks, he has mastered the ability to read a room and play the songs guests didn’t even know they wanted to hear. Backed by a Bachelor’s degree in Communication (PR & Social Media) and a Master’s in Business with a concentration in Music Business from SNHU and Berklee College of Music, Hayden approaches every event with passion, versatility, and a commitment to creating unforgettable memories on the dance floor.
