Born and raised in San Antonio, TX, Peter joins the AMP'D team with over twelve years of DJing experience under his belt! After graduating from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2014 with a BFA in sound design and minor in film, Peter brought his considerable talent to Atlanta. Building on his background in sound design, Peter crafts eclectic and creative sets that often feature his own track edits, remixes, and mashups. Throw in some formidable beat juggling and scratching skills and DJ P2 is tough to beat when it comes to entertaining a crowd and rocking a dance floor.
Like all of the AMP'D DJs, Peter has a wide variety of music tastes and is completely confident spinning every genre or decade. But growing up in Texas helped expand Peter's music knowledge south of the border as he attended his fair share of quinceñaeras, weddings, and other parties. It was at these events that he developed an appreciation for all varieties of Spanish music allowing him to seamlessly incorporate a Latin flavor into his DJ sets when needed.
In his spare time, Peter enjoys creating original mashups, some of which you can hear below. He also loves all things basketball (Go Spurs Go!).
We used DJ Peter Portales and he was perfect!
What truly sets them apart from other wedding DJs, is that our DJ took our song selections and created his own unique mix that had perfect flow and balance that kept the energy going!
I believe you get what you pay for, and Peter with AMP’D ENTERTAINMENT was AMAZING!
Before our wedding we were worried if people would dance, but Peter had the floor packed!
Mr. Portales and the people of AMP’D provided an amazing experience.
Peter was wonderful to work with – easy to get along with, quick to respond, and willing to indulge us on those “crazy” requests.
He really listened to our style preferences and was able to deliver exactly what we asked for!
We work in the music industry and knew our guests would have high expectations. Peter at AMP'D ENTERTAINMENT did not disappoint.
