Nick Campion’s DJ career began in 2009 in the Chicagoland area. Always known as the “Life of the Party” type of personality, entertaining and his great knowledge of music combines both of his passions. A hobby of throwing parties and being in charge of the music has lead to a career in DJing. Nick’s eternal smile, fun, energetic, outgoing personality is represented in the music he spins. His love to dance to all types of music, helps him know what music works on the dance floor. There is never a lull on Nick’s dance floor. Open to all types of music, Nick specializes in Top 40, Hip Hop, Pop, House, Progressive House/Club, Dance, and Mashup music. When the music is going, Nick can not resist dancing and fist pumping to the beat behind the turntables – energizing the dance floor. Nick is first and foremost a professional, even while having fun playing amazing dance music. With a business background from Purdue, he believes open communication with his clients, timely planning, and again amazing dance music are keys to an successful event. In order to exceed the clients exceptions, Nick will go out of his way to make sure everything is set before, during, and after the event. Nick’s previous clients have said great things about him and can only expect the same for future clients.
