Dj Bizzy
Originally born in NJ, and raised mostly in SC. Bizzy became a mobile DJ in 2012 when he moved to Lansing, MI. He’s been a residential DJ at a few bars in Lansing and East Lansing, MI. During these years Bizzy has had the pleasure of opening up for big acts such as Migos, Waka Flocka, Twista and spinning for some professional athletes, as well. He also plays for proms, weddings, backyard events and more. His motivation comes from the people and music. “The people keep me going. Knowing that I can give someone a great moment in life, help make their event a great experience, move a crowd at a concert or club, even just providing sound is like an addiction. I love just about everything about this lifestyle. There’s so much that I’ve learned as a dj that has shaped my life and lifestyle for the better. I was taught early in my career to play multiple genres, to be versatile, so I feel like I’ll always have something for everyone.”
