SSS Spotlight: Mike Nania
While he may be a more recent addition to the Split Second Sound team, DJ Mike Nania is making a major impression with his 25+ years in DJ and event experience. DJ Mike City, as the team calls him, is quickly gaining rave reviews from vendors and clients alike.
Starting at the age of 14 as a DJ for parties, Mike eventually was able to start his own company, DJ/MCing for weddings, Proms and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs in 1990.
Originally from the New York/New Jersey metro area, Mike recently relocated to North Carolina with his wife and 3 boys: Michael, 13, Nicholas, 9 and Andrew, 7.Â
We had a quick Q&A with Mike to learn a little bit more about the family-man and DJ!
What’s your favorite part of an event?
I would have to say seeing people dance and having a good time. Knowing that I can play a part in that is a good feeling. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Do you think your boys will get into a similar business?
Possibly… my middle son, Nicholas, has the most interest. He used to love going with me to public events like car shows all the time so it’s cool to see him enjoy being around what I do.
What is one thing people are usually surprised to learn about you?
People are always surprised to learn that I am a DJ. I can be quiet when you first meet me so when they see that other personality come out it’s not usually something they expect.Â
