 A
native of Miami, Florida, DJ Miik has spent the last 13 years
living the dream he seemed destined for from childhood.
Early on, Miik knew he had a special relationship with
music.
DJ Miik, a bankable name in the South Florida nightclub
arena, has had a series of record-breaking accomplishments.
He was the youngest DJ, at age 23, to be given residency at
one the of world’s oldest and most successful nightclubs,
The Copa in Ft Lauderdale, a first in it’s nearly three
decade history. He was labeled the most versatile DJ in
South Florida by David Magazine, spinning a potpourri of
music that spans the decades from early disco to 80’s, 90’s
and today to pop and top 40, hip hop, reggae and even Latin
music like salsa, merengue and reggaeton. Miik has been
favorably reviewed in publications across the country
including David Magazine & The 411 Magazine in Florida, HX
Magazine in New York and international publication XY
Magazine. MSN’s City Search and NAJM websites have both
rated him top honors scoring the highest possible rating a
DJ can receive. Miik holds the title of longest running
resident DJ in the southeastern United States at a major
nightclub with nearly 9 years spinning Fridays at both the
Saint and Coliseum in Ft Lauderdale. His substantial
credentials and respect of his piers earned him a coveted
spot as a Billboard Magazine reporter making him one of only
150 DJs in the world that who's playlists are used to
determine Billboard Magazines Hot Dance Chart. DJ Miik is
also one of the best known DJs in Florida having played for
nearly half a million people in his short 12 year career.
Commitment to community, music and most of all, his
clientele have made Miik one of the most respected
individuals in the industry. "Giving back is not an option,
it's a requirement. I have been blessed with so much that it
just wouldn't feel right not to pay it forward." he said.
When asked what gave him the leg up in such a competitive
industry, he quoted his long time friend, mentor and
legendary South Beach DJ Bugie “Everyone plays the same
popular records you do, but what will separate you from the
rest is your presentation. Your energy comes through your
music so if you’re not having fun your audience isn’t
either.” These words have stuck with him throughout his
career and have reminded him to never forget where he came
from. |
