About
DJ Mick is a Brooklyn-based DJ whose client list reads like a culture index: Jay-Z, LeBron James, Michelle Obama, Will Smith, Prince, and Miguel on the celebrity side; Cartier, Spotify, Instagram, Complex, GQ, and Vanity Fair on the brand side. He plays events in Cannes, London, Dubai, Los Angeles, Miami, and New York.
Originally from Ohio, where he was the official DJ of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Mick moved to New York in 2008 and built a reputation on taste and discretion, including a years-long run DJing the Jay-Z and LeBron James “Two Kings” dinner and a residency at Hyde Bellagio in Las Vegas. His mixtape work includes projects with DJ Jazzy Jeff and a Rolling Stone top-five hip-hop mix.
Beyond the booth he is a startup investor, advisor, and speaker, which is part of why brands trust him in the room with their most important guests. Press includes Complex, Vibe, and The Huffington Post.
