As a teenager, DJ Mike lived around the block from KNDE radio station in Sacramento. Planning to be a DJ someday, he would spend hours peering through the studio window, watching the DJ play 45 rpm records.

From 1970 to 1980, Mike was an active musician, playing trumpet in school and community bands. He developed an acute ear for quality sound in both live and recorded music. He experimented with sound system design, recording effects, and sound reinforcement. Mike designed and built his first sound system and continues to repair and maintain all of his own equipment. In the early 70's, Mike mentored behind Sacramento's first mobile DJs, Terry Knight, Gene Lane, and "Canned Music" as an apprentice DJ for 3 years.

Mike performed his first solo wedding in 1973. He became an expert at organizing fomalities, creating a festive atmosphere, monitoring the progress of events, and selecting the right music for the right moment. His company grew through the 80's, requiring a business license in each of 6 counties, an answering service, and 13 DJs to cover all of the work. A marketing plan was developed to cater to each client's personal needs. In 1990, to provide more personal attention to each client, Mike scaled back to a sole proprietor. In the following five to 10 years, DJs transformed from just playing music at parties, to professional entertainment coordinators. When you look at Mike's scrapbook of pictures, since 1973, you see changes the mobile DJ business has experienced in the last 30 years. Since then, Mike has successfully sharpened his skills as event coordinator, master of ceremonies, and party host. From a formal wedding, to corporate holiday party, to a sweet-sixteen party, DJ Mike gives you the benefit of his experience.

Since one of Mike's first pictures as a disc jockey  (around 1978), he has performed nearly 3,000 functions. In 2006, he was elected President of the local Chapter of the American Disc Jockey Association, promoting professional standards within our industry. We continue to support local charity events.

Mike's most memorable event was performing for the Governor of California, George Deukmajian's private staff party for three years in a row. In 2004, Mike joined forces with DJ Lisa, formerly of Hot Rocks DJ Services. "Creative Sound Recording" was changed to"Creative Sound Entertainment".
