The People Behind Northern Beat Entertainment!
Founder
Tony H. Lackie
DJ & Master Of Ceremonies
Tony Lackie moved to Traverse City, in Northern Michigan with his family in 2002. Since childhood, he has always had a love for music, consuming it as well as creating it. At the age of 15, he was successful in building an in-home recording studio and began to learn how to engineer music as well as understanding what makes music affect people the way that it does. Ultimately working at a recording studio in Traverse City as a sound engineer.
At the age of 18 he became a full-time martial arts & fitness instructor at Seung-Ni Martial Arts in Traverse City, Michigan. Where he learned the importance of reading a room, as well as the importance of how you speak in order to command a room when needed. He would remain a full-time instructor until 2015 shortly after his daughter was brought into this world!
in 2015, an associate recommended he try DJing a wedding. With his charismatic personality, musical knowledge and love for speaking publicly he thought it would be a great fit. It was! Tony fell in love with the feeling he got from a successful wedding. He was able to utilize his past experience & knowledge to give his clients the best possible day they ever imagined. He became a lead DJ for local vendors such as My TC Weddings (Greystone Weddings & Visions Weddings & Banquets) as well as becoming a mentee of Paul Widlund of Northern Michigan DJ.
Tony Hopes to build a Northern Michigan Entertainment Company capable of handling multiple high-end wedding events in one night. While all delivering a unique experience unlike any other.
