We had the good fortune of connecting with Dj Mik One and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dj Mik One, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Taking risks is scary. It makes you feel uncomfortable but you grow from that experience whatever it may be. Everytime I take a bookings from unfamiliar clients is a risky. Maybe they don’t like my style of djing. Hardly ever happens but it could. I do honestly believe you need to get out of your comfort zone. Experience new journeys, new music, new dance moves. Make new friends, grow your network.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Took many years to get where I am now. Went from djing house parties, night clubs, car shows , weddings to corporate events. Been booked by shady promoters to working with world class industry professionals. Each and every event you have to give it 100% . I pride my self with my song selection and reading the room. I think that sets me apart. Just takes time and effort to learn your craft. I try to learn by practicing behind closed doors. I lock my self in my dj studio and try new mixes.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
All depends on the time of year. The Houston rode is a must. A one stop for great music, food, games and rides. 2nd place would be San Janctio monument alot quieter. For shopping the Outlets on the NW Side of town.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I give alot of credit to my mother, she used to buy me dj gear as a kid. I was a bad kid and this helped me redirect my bad behavior. My Dad showed and taught me a strong work ethics. Huge shout out to both of them.
