The Artist

Who is CJ Michael

Intention,
discipline,
and lived
experience.

CJ Michael is a New York City–based DJ and producer whose work reflects intention, discipline, and lived experience. Rooted in DJ culture, his sound prioritizes groove, restraint, and real-world playability — music designed for the set rather than the spotlight.

A 2025 YourShot DJ Competition Finalist, CJ has earned national recognition for his stage presence, musical direction, and commitment to growth as an independent artist. His sets aren't just playlists — they're crafted narratives built from years behind the decks and a self-driven creative process.

His releases mark distinct chapters. His debut EDM single Phoenix Rising — performed live at YourShot 2025 — introduced audiences to his signature fusion of New York grit and big-room energy. His latest record, Inevitable, is a DJ-first house release built with purpose, designed to live in rotation, and grounded in consistency over hype.

CJ Michael is open for bookings across clubs, festivals, private events, and branded activations — in New York and nationally.
