October of 2010, it was a beautiful afternoon in Alicante Spain when a moment of clarity struck!

I decided to study abroad at the Universidad de Alicante the semester before college graduation to clear my mind and focus on the next chapter of my life. I had just concluded an impactful tenure as the Event Coordinator for my fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi, a role that sparked my passion for event planning. While I loved organizing collegiate events, I realized it was time to elevate my ambitions beyond the campus crowd. One evening, sitting on a small loveseat in my beachside piso, staring at the ceiling, inspiration struck. I decided then and there to start my own event planning company.

I immediately grabbed my computer and began brainstorming names. I’d always thought “Mdot” was a cool nickname—one no one had ever really used, but it felt right. Wanting something more unique than “Mdot Entertainment,” I searched for synonyms of entertainment and discovered merriment—defined as a lively celebration or festivity. It was perfect: meaningful, distinctive, and an alliteration—Mdot MerriMent was born.

Since its inception, Mdot MerriMent, now rebranded as Mdot Live, has produced and curated over 100 signature events across the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area and Los Angeles. Our work has included sold-out nightclub takeovers, exclusive VIP experiences, culturally relevant themed parties, and strategic collaborations with nationally recognized DJs and brands. Mdot Live became a respected name in the nightlife and live events scene, praised for our innovative approach, vibrant atmosphere, and ability to consistently draw large, loyal crowds. What began as a spontaneous idea on a couch in Spain has grown into a recognized movement.
