About DJ Motiv

DJ Motiv

David Malachi, better known by his stage name DJ Motiv, is a DJ and songwriter based in North Carolina. Never afraid to go too deep, his emotive musical selections is his own therapy. Growning up on his father’s eclectic combination of soul music (Frankie Beverly & Maze , Erykah Badu), Funk (Parliament, Marvin Gaye), synth-infused 80s music (Depeche Mode, Gary Numan)… all which became infused with his own love for both hip-hop and video game music, DJ Motiv ended up with quite a mixed spectrum of musical influence. Today, this translates into sets where he picks apart and infuses together all the pieces of this music that he loves best.

He is a very active member of his local community, David is no stranger to the ups-and-downs of a small-town music scene. Though he loves playing in Nightclubs, Weddings and Special Events, his love for music goes beyond the spectrum of mixing tunes. As a producer, artist, and promoter, he has found plenty of ways to express himself musically.

DJ Motiv was amazing to work with for our wedding. Their communication was straightforward and they responded quickly to any questions we had. The quality of their work was top-notch - they were incredibly organized and listened carefully to our suggestions to ensure the music and flow of the event was perfect. They got people out on the dance floor and made the entire day flow seamlessly. The app they created was also a huge help, breaking down all the different parts of the day and guiding us on the number of songs needed. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ service to make our special day so memorable.
DJ Motiv is the BEST wedding DJ we’ve worked with!

From the start, David’s communication was effortless and laid-back, making planning a breeze—even when last-minute changes came up. But where he truly shined was during the wedding: he had the entire crowd hooked, from high-energy wedding games to a packed dance floor all night long. His mixes were fresh, his vibe was electric, and he made sure every guest felt included. As a wedding planner, I’m thrilled to recommend DJ Motiv to our couples—and we can’t wait to book him again!
Definitely Recommend
