Today we’d like to introduce you to Michael Roos.
Texas native Michael is a professional DJ, Musician, Producer and owner of True DJs of Dallas. With a lifetime of experience as an entertainer, Roos performs at events ranging from weddings, corporate functions, and mitzvahs, to fashion shows and concerts, while also releasing original music on various international labels and doing voice-over work for a national clientele.
Michael has over 21 years of experience as an On-Air Talent, Producer, and Writer for several top five US radio stations as well as 33 years of piano and percussion training. He also has six years of experience as an Entertainment Director, Comedy Writer, Audio/Lighting Engineer, and stage performer for Club Med International Resorts.
When it comes to DJing, Michael brings a background in Hip-Hop turntablism, a Rock & Country radio career, and a passion for Funk, Soul, and Electronic music. He loves to provide the perfect musical and entertainment environment for any situation, sometimes playing live instruments while spinning records. Michael also performs at nightclubs and bars and has opened up for legendary artists including Grandmaster Flash, DJ Krush, Bootsy Collins, and Kaskade.
While it may be a foreign concept to many DJ’s today, Michael always welcomes requests or suggestions to get into the crowds’ heads as his number one priority is to make the crowd in front of him happy. And a fun side-note – he is one of the only known DJs to perform for NASA astronauts in orbit (STS-26).
Has it been a smooth road?
I feel very lucky to have had an extremely smooth road to where I am today. I attribute this to the support of family and musical mentors, but mainly to the passion for music that I have always had.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the True DJs Of Dallas story. Tell us more about the business.
True DJs of Dallas was started as an option to all of the stereotypical cliche “wedding DJs” that seem to dominate the DJing industry. All of the talented DJs with True DJs of Dallas have a history of professional performance that dates back over 30 years. We pride ourselves on being able to move a crowd and make an event unique to the client without getting ‘cheesy’. We also pride ourselves on the turntable skills and history that we incorporate into every event. We are VERY proud of our reputation as well as our online reviews and we work to make every event perfect from beginning to end.
How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
I think the industry is always changing with technology. This is why it’s very important for people to do their research on the DJ they hire. Technology today allows anyone to play songs and call themselves a ‘DJ’. However, it takes a true professional to be able to read a room, guide a crowd and make things flow perfectly for each event while making it different from the last.
