Who are you?

My name is Justin Worth, also known as DJ Justin Michael, and I’ve been DJ’ing since 2015. I was inspired to pursue DJ’ing during a challenging time in my life when I felt like I had hit rock bottom. In that moment, I encountered a DJ whose passion and talent sparked something within me, and he offered to teach me the craft. DJ’ing gave me a sense of purpose and brought me happiness when I felt like I had none. Now, through music, I strive to give that same joy and inspiration back to others.

What's your DJ philosophy?

I approach every set with the same mindset, treating each event as a blank canvas. About two weeks before most events, I start prepping to ensure that what I bring to the table is always unique and authentically me. Spontaneity is a huge part of my process because no two events are ever the same. I like to experiment, see how people react, how they dance, and, most importantly, how the music makes them feel. They might not remember every track I play, but they’ll always leave with a certain feeling—and my goal is to make sure that feeling is nothing less than a high note. 

What do you contribute to Spin Society?

My biggest strength as a DJ is my energy and my ability to connect with any crowd I’m working with. As an extrovert, I’m not just there to entertain—I want to party with the people! My preparation also plays a key role in delivering successful events. I focus on analyzing every detail to ensure my execution is as close to flawless as possible.
