Meet DJ Evan, a rising force on the Paul Michaels Events roster – and proof that great instincts can take you further than years of experience. Originally from California (yes, he moved to Chicago – we’ll give him a pass), Evan has been turning heads since joining the team and delivers every time the pressure is on.

Evan got his start DJing events at Cal Poly, spinning at campus events, outdoor pool parties, and even a charity golf tournament – because nothing tests your song selection like keeping a crowd happy on the 9th hole. It was there that he fell in love with the craft – the energy of a room responding to the right song at the right moment, and the feeling of getting people on their feet and keeping them there.

But ask Evan what he’s most passionate about, and the answer is immediate: weddings. He believes the DJ can make or break the most important day of someone’s life, and he takes that responsibility seriously. That mindset shows in everything he does – from his preparation and communication leading up to the event, to the energy he brings the moment the first song drops.

Whether he’s keeping the dance floor packed at a private celebration or guiding a wedding reception through every emotional moment, DJ Evan brings fresh energy, genuine enthusiasm, and a lot of heart to every performance.

Meet Nick, a Karaoke Jockey and DJ-in-training with a background that goes deeper than most. As a music producer and audio engineer, Nick works with artists in the studio – recording vocals, crafting beats, and selling original music – giving him an instinctive feel for rhythm, timing, and sound that translates directly to the stage.

That foundation makes him a natural behind the karaoke mic stand. Nick keeps events running smoothly, reads the energy in the room, and has a knack for helping guests feel confident and comfortable when it’s their moment to shine.

As he continues his DJ training alongside our senior staff, Nick brings the same preparation and attention to detail that Paul Michaels Events is known for – just with a little extra studio credibility backing him up.
