Membership Director: Manny Otero

Starting as a DJ in 1979, Manny started in radio and moved on to performing at clubs and private parties. Moving to San Diego in 1985, he worked at several local clubs in the San Diego area and then for several DJ companies in the area. He started InSane Diego Productions in 2002 with one simple philosophy “give our wedding and corporate clients something personalized, unique, and memorable.” In 2007, to provide better services that he and his team provide to wedding and corporate clients, he separating the company into two divisions: Memories and Music Entertainment (weddings), and San Diego Creative Corporate Entertainment (corporate events). This allowed for better expert service to be provided to customers wanting entertainment in both these areas. “Weddings and corporate events are all we do, and we work hard in continuing to be experts in both these areas”.
