Meet Owner/Entrepreneur Nick Leidl
Many have tried to duplicate the energy and excitement that Nick brings to each event. Few have succeeded. His ability to combine an original programming of music and a delightful microphone personality has propelled him to sit amongst the industry's elite and help define the newer generation of mobile DJ's.
A lifelong entertainer, Nick has spent over 15 years in the DJ business and continues to electrify crowds at over 200 events a year. He has been featured on MTV (Wanna Be A VJ), Comedy Central (Premium Blend), VH-1 (The Battle of The Bands - host), The Opie and Anthony Show, and "The Apprentice - Season 3 Pre-show" where he survived several audition rounds only to be cut amongst the final 30.
His entrepreneurial talents were recognized in 2000 when his business, Entertainment Explosion Inc., resulted in him being named the "NJ Entrepreneur Of The Year" and "National Entrepreneur Of The Year (Runner-up)" by a panel of esteemed College Professors nationwide.
He has hosted several thousand events, both as a DJ and a comedian, and has had many opportunities to work with major organizations and even celebrities.
Nick has worked with:
- Donald Trump
- Ian Eagle (sportscaster)
- Colin Quinn (comedian)
- Jim Norton (comedian)
- Jim Florentine (comedian)
- Jay Mohr (actor/comedian)
- Carson Daly & Ray Munns (MTV hosts)
- Mary Higgins Clark (novelist)
He even spent a short time working as the road manager/booking agent for former Sopranos star, Dominic Chianese (Uncle Junior). He has provided DJ entertainment at hundreds of weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, corporate events, and private parties.
I think Nick’s quote summarizes his personality the best, “Although I didn’t write the previous passage about myself, I know the guy who did really well and I did take him for Filet Mignon last week so he might be making me sound a little better than I really am!”
