Baghead
Baghead is a DJ, music producer, creative director, and project manager based in Los Angeles by way of San Francisco. He’s known for blending sound, film, and community storytelling, often exploring themes like gentrification, cultural memory, and the role of artists in shaping collective futures.
Baghead has released music and short films, led creative direction for visual rollouts, curated showcases and DJ events, and collaborated with artists across disciplines. He’s also the founder of @familynotagroup__ a 17-person SF-based artist collective reclaiming space in a gentrified city, centering joy as a means of healing and community engagement.
With deep experience coordinating projects, managing creative teams, and producing thoughtful, story-driven work, Baghead is now exploring residencies, fellowships, internships, and jobs that expand his creative reach—particularly roles in music production, creative producing, visual storytelling, and multidisciplinary collaboration.
As a DJ, Baghead has recently performed live sets on platforms like Home is For Homies and All Day Play FM, and has curated and played shows in San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles. His performances have taken him to venues including Cry Baby, 1015 Folsom, The Midway, The Felix, Café Erzulie (NY), Silverlake Lounge, and Love Note (LA). He holds a monthly residency on Subtle Radio, where he explores uptempo club styles like footwork, house, jungle, Jersey/Baltimore club, and Brazilian funk. While rooted in Hip-Hop and R&B, he is now focused on dance-oriented, global platforms that spotlight rhythm-forward music. Sachiel also leads a residency day party at El Rio in San Francisco with his collective Family Not a Group, and runs an ongoing event series at Café Erzulie in Brooklyn called BAY2BK, which connects Bay Area and New York DJs and builds cultural exchange between the two scenes.
