Michael DeCero was born and raised in the heart of South Philadelphia; he was exposed and influenced early on by the music of the fifties and sixties, in particular Elvis and The Beatles.

Then ultimately David Bowie, which he accredits his ability for storytelling thru his programming sets. By the time he was 18 years old he became an entrepreneur. He was called upon by a friend to help with fundraising efforts for a community Parochial School.

He promptly mixed show tunes and disco dance music on a mono Reel to Reel, followed by spinning on two turntables, which led to becoming the official DJ for the first pre-teen dances in the area. In 1978, he made his DJ debut in night clubs building a solid fan base. Michael’s career spans over 30 years playing in the most influential and highly regarded clubs (The D.C.A., Cell Block, 2-4 Club, Pure, Gatsby’s, Egypt, Shampoo, Cartwheel, Stonewall, The Chez Disco, and many more). Throughout the years his audiences danced to the latest and hottest dance tracks. In 1994, he became a Billboard panelist and has been reporting for the Southeastern, Lehigh, and the Philadelphia area ever since. Michael is one to acknowledge and appreciate the ever-changing trends in music as he keeps up with the times and technology. His career continues to thrive as he remains a driving force in the DJ world.
