DJ Mikey

12/10/2024

This has been a tough year for me.

With a family health scare, I’ve done some reevaluation of life.

It was late spring/early summer when I decided I wasn’t playing games any longer and chose to return to full time DJ work running the DJ Mikey business. Somehow I allowed some people to convince me I needed a “real” job.

The other night I was doing a holiday party and felt so alive. This is what I am
Meant to do.

For someone like me, this isn’t a “job” it’s really, honestly who I am to my core. It defines who I am. Maybe that isn’t healthy. But it’s who I am.

When I get behind my DJ console and look out at people smiling, dancing, having fun and just plain letting loose, it makes me feel this energy that I cannot explain.

I go into a deep depression in the winter when I only DJ once a month or so. In the summer I’m hammering out 2-3 gigs a weekend. The farther into the season I get the more into the zone I get.

I want to thank everyone that fought for me to get my act together and go back to my DJ Mikey alter ego. It’s been great!! I want to thank everyone that supported me for the last 43 years doing this thing I LOVE!! (The pic is where I got my start in 1981 at my high school radio station)

We had a phenomenal summer and 2025 is up over 300%.

I just wanted to share some good stuff!!

Did you know Christmas is the biggest engagement day of the year?

Yes, I bet you thought it was Valentine’s Day. That romantic holiday comes in second to the special Christmas time.

Following on a close third is New Years Eve.

The next few months are the busiest booking days of the year for those planning a

Typically, the first thing a bride does is finds a venue. Then, the other vendors fall into place; , etc start to fall in place.

If you’re planning a wedding for 2025, keep in mind a lot of dates are already filled. Many venues have no Saturday dates left in 2025.

My year is looking phenomenal. If you get engaged over the holidays, keep me in mind for your and services.

I look forward to working with you.

I was at Blue Sky Barn last night. It’s been a few years since I played there.

Looking down at the crowd, I got a bit emotional. I saw people smiling. They were happy. The music was creating a level of energy that caused this in them.

Not every wedding has extreme energy like this wedding had. But… I felt empowered that I have the opportunity to do something I love so much and provide and opportunity for that happiness and smiles in other people.

I’ve been doing this a very long time. It seems every weekend I find a new love for being DJ Mikey!!

Music: there is so much out there to choose from.

Some is wild, some is fun. Some makes you cry, some makes you drive over the speed limit. Some brings back a memory both good and bad.

Music takes you back to wherever you want to be taken.

I play at a lot of different venues. Some venues are good, while others are great.

The The Rut Hut in Ga***rd is absolutely fantastic. Bob and Ronda are two of the greatest people you will ever encounter.

I want to publicly thank them for their kindness to me
Over the years. I appreciate their referrals and always being so kind and friendly.

If you’re getting married and looking for a venue, that is the place to go.

What an INCREDIBLE weekend.

Was the DJ for the Northwest Michigan Fair 4H kids… then their parents. The adults wanted to party all night long!! What a great time.

Saturday Heather was at The Mission Table in Traverse City.

I travelled to Mio to do one of the most intimate weddings I think I’ve ever done. The rain was looking like it was gonna hit us during the ceremony. The bride and groom wanted to include some worship during the ceremony. When that portion began the clouds disappeared and the sun came out. When worship concluded the clouds immediately returned.

Sydni and Joss are a beautiful couple and I wish them the absolute best in life

🎧 So grateful for the beat that fuels my soul! Being a DJ isn't just a passion, it's a way of life. From playing the perfect song to feeling the energy of the crowd, there's nothing quite like it. Music isn't just what I play, it's who I am. 🎶✨
