In 1986, I embarked on a goal that has enticed me since I was a child.
Yeah, some people aspire to be doctors, actors or politicians, but
not me. For as long as I can remember, I have always had a love for
music and dance.
I took that love to Duquesne University and earned a BA degree in
Broadcast Journalism. I entered the broadcast field by landing my
first job in radio (WDUQ 90.5 FM) as a freshman at the age of 18.
Hired as a production assistant, I learned the ins & outs of radio/audio
equipment along with programming and formatting. It was also at this
time that I began my mobile disc jockey career by working university
functions on campus. My collegiate days were highlighted with internships
at KDKA-AM, WTAE-AM and WHTX-FM.
For two years following graduation, I worked as a production assistant
for WTAE-AM. When available, I would also work mobile dj gigs. In
1992, I moved away from radio and into the club scene. I started by
entertaining people of all ages at Shaler Skateland. (an excellent
stepping-stone) Shortly thereafter, I landed weekend work at Co Co
Loco’s (formerly at the Airport Marriott) and then onto the
Warehouse Café in Bethel Park.
Then, in 1996, I fell out of love as a club dj and in love with private
party gigs. My contacts were plentiful and getting the ball rolling
turned out to be a piece of cake. To this day, I feel it is the best
decision that I have ever made. (Corporate clients)
I love what I do and many people have said that it shows. You will
never see the “burn-out” effect in me. To this day, I
still get a few butterflies before each gig. I guess it is the excitement
of knowing that you have put your trust in my hands to provide a good
time for you.
Thank you again for spending a few moments on my website.
In closing, I would welcome the opportunity to speak or meet with
you and tell you more about DJ Jimmy Mac and the
services that I offer.
