So Michael, what do you do?

I own a Disc Jockey company.

Officially, my job is to provide music and entertainment at special occasions.  As a DJ, I mix everyone’s favorite songs.  As a MC, I interact with the guests, inform them of events and motivate them to dance.  As an Event Coordinator, I work with other vendors to produce a high-quality, stress-free and smooth-flowing affair.

But really, I create personal relationships with my clients to ensure that they have a fun, memorable and unique event.  I produce the best party of their life.  I have the best job. Whenever I go to work, I’m going to a party!

When hiring DJ Mike On The Mic,

you’re assured that I’ll always:

•  Work with you.
•  Be available by e-mail or phone.
•  Bring back up, professional sound equipment.
•  Have liability insurance.
•  Produce a stress-free affair.
•  Play your favorite songs.
•  Interact with the crowd.
•  Add unexpected touches.
•  Create a fun and memorable party!

1987 1988 DJ-Mike-On-The-Mic-Michael-Pachino-1988-at-the-Radio-Station-following-dads-footstepsAs you can see, I’ve been at this Disc Jockey business for a long time.  My dad’s a DJ, so I really started in the womb.  I schlepped DJ equipment with my father when I was 11 years old. Throughout the next few years I learned about and developed an appreciation for music spanning different genres and decades.  Then I honed in on the skills of beat mixing. Afterwards my dad taught me how to build the crowd’s energy and keep the event flowing.

At the age 15, in 1995, I began my DJ career…I couldn’t drive, but I could fill a dance floor! In college, I drove from College Park to Baltimore nearly every weekend to DJ. I graduated from the University of Maryland with a major in Communication and an Honors Citation in Entrepreneurship. Entertaining is now my full-time job. 19 years since my first party, I’ve had the opportunity to entertain at over 1,000 successful celebrations with hundreds of satisfied clients.

2008 Dad & Dude Duo1998 Dad and Dude Duo (Birds Eye) The saying goes “the acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree.” I learned by my Dad’s side.  My father, Joe, has been a Professional Radio and Mobile DJ in the Baltimore area since 1974.  He even wrote a book entitled DJ’s Secrets Revealed!  How To Select (And Get The Most Out Of) Your Mitzvah Disc Jockey. (If I happen to be booked on your date, talk to him.)

Maddie-DJ-Mixer-Smiling-March-2014Maddie-DJ-CD-player-February-2013To reiterate, “the acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree!” My daughter Maddie could be DJing for your party in a few years.  She started spinning CDs before she was 1 and began to learn the art of mixing at 2!

I sometimes spend Saturday nights out (at a party) with my beautiful wife, Nina.

In 2009, “Thirty Seconds with Mike Pachino” was featured in the bjt.

Wow, things have changed over the past six years! Nina and I just celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary.  We have a beautiful daughter Maddie and are expecting another baby in April 2015.

Looking over at “My Favorite:”…have your favorite musical artists, travel destinations and television shows changed in 5 years?

And yes, I still have a TV in my bathroom and enjoy watching ESPN every morning.
