Happy ๐๐ฅณ
This week we get to brag on the one and only Bags! He is our longest standing DJ here at Mid-West Family, and has helped with training each of our DJs! He truly knows his stuff, and brings an undeniable presence and energy that fills every space.
In case you haven't met Bags yet, we had him introduce himself ๐
๐ค I've been known as Bags for a long time. Blame it on 95.7 The Rock
๐ง I've been DJing for over 20 years between night clubs, radio, and events.
โจ I started DJing in 2004 at Marley's in Wisconsin Dells (Now currently called The Reef) where I was their headlining DJ for 5 years.
๐ Favorite thing about DJing: I'm a student of Monty Python. When life seems jolly rotten, there's something you've forgotten. And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing. If I can make you do any of those things, then I'm spending my life doing something worth doing. Every event leaves a mark on me in some way. I love being able to bring people together.
๐น How would you describe your DJ style/personality/signature look behind the booth? I'm very interactive with the crowd. I like to make people feel like we're all in this party together. Every night is like going to your favorite concert. I'm locked in. I'm always thinking 3 songs ahead, weaving in and out of different genres. I look like I can skateboard...... I can't, tho. *shrugs*
๐ชฉ Personal favorite song/go-to song to get everyone on the dance floor: My personal favorite song doesn't come out much, but it's "Jungle Love" by The Time.
๐บ Favorite song to drop in a set: "Give Me Everything" by Pitbull and Ne-Yo is always a banger.
๐ถ Favorite genre: I listen to all genre's, but I'll always love rock/metal the most.
๐ง I'm never not DJing. When I'm not doing weddings, I'm on the radio talking about how my children torment me (I love them though). When I'm not doing that, I'm playing music for myself in my kitchen while cleaning.
๐ฎ What do you do for fun? I'm very outdoorsy, but I love a good video game as well.
๐บ Coffee/drink order: PBR and a shot of Polish blackberry brandy.
โจ Fun fact: I'm an ordained Jedi Minister. Best $30 I ever spent!
We are forever grateful to have Bags as part of our team!!
