About Adam:

Hi, I'm Adam, aka DJ Hitch. Growing up I lived in the country as part of a big family. With each of the kids in the family being a little more different than the next I got to grow fond of all types of music. Pop from my sisters, Oldies from my mom, Rock from my older brother, and Country/Blues from my dad. When in middle school I gained the friendship of the DJ for our school dances and got my first taste of being behind the turntables as I helped him with requests all night. Moving into high school I started going to the sock hops at the local skating rink and got into dancing, eventually becoming a hip hop dancer which only helped strengthen my love and appreciation for all music. My first taste of karaoke was about 3 years ago. I was on vacation in Ocean City, MD. It was the first night on a Monday and we heard laughing and singing at the restaurant across the street. My friends and I went to check it out and they (with the help of the whole restaurant) pressured me into doing some crowd favorites like Ice Ice Baby. I had a blast that night and knew I had to try karaoke again sometime. Within the first 3 nights back home after that same vacation I happened to stumble upon Will and Jacey doing their weekly show at P.J. Whelihan's. They kept the crowd pumped and had a huge selection of songs and soon it became a regular hot spot for my friends and I. I would talk with them more and more when I went in to their shows and eventually met Jarrett along the way while he was doing his Saturday Night Dance Party at Krocks Pub. I knew I had found the perfect job being able to bring people joy through music. Now here I am, DJ Hitch, freshly on board with OnTheMicDJs. Make sure you check out our calendar...We can't wait to see you out!

About Jarrett:

I've always had a love for music while growing up and started dabbling in karaoke while in college at Kutztown University. Upon earning my college degree in 1996, I moved out to Cincinnati, OH where I continued to frequent karaoke shows. In 2000 I moved back to the Lehigh Valley/Allentown area and began working as a professional disc jockey. I have provided entertainment for wedding receptions, private parties and various local bars.Up until June of 2007, I didn't do too much karaoke in the area due to the lack of quality karaoke jockeys in the Lehigh Valley. Then, by the grace of god, I stumbled across Will and Jacey doing their weekly show down at PJ Whelihan's. It didn't take long to realize these two had it going on. All of a sudden, I was out 3 to 4 nights a week at their shows. We started talking and I realized OnTheMicDJs was where I wanted to be. They brought me on board and now I'm spinning tunes and hosting karaoke shows for them throughout the week. On nights I'm not working, I can be spotted out at karaoke shows hosted by Will and Jacey.

If you love to sing and dance, check out the OnTheMicDJs calendar for a complete listing of show dates and times. Hope to see you out soon!

About Joey:

I was born in Brooklyn NY, raised in Grove City PA & Fort Lauderdale FL, and now reside in the Lehigh Valley. I guess you could say im eclectic with my taste in music. I do enjoy unwinding to metal, but love kicking it old school...From classic rock to modern, and a sprinkle of pop here and there. Karaoke started for me at the age of 16 in Florida singing the Cops Theme by Inner Circle "Bad Boys". I continued regularly frequenting karaoke bars when I was 18 with my friends, as well as singing at fairs and carnivals. I returned to PA in April 2008 just after my 27th birthday. When I stopped in at The Pub On Main in Macungie and sang for Will and Jacey, I was amazed by their song selection and professionalism. So months went by, seeing them on Fridays, along with my venturing like a groupie to all their shows during the week. With my upbeat, wacky personality and charisma, why not become a member of the legacy that is OnTheMicDJs.

Cue "Godfather Theme"!

AND THE LEGEND BEGINS!!!!

About Ryan:

My name is Ryan, aka Mr. Clean. I was born in Maine, went to college in the Harrisburg area and managed to dupe someone into giving me a Bachelors degree in Theatre. I spent some time in Chicago, but wanted to be close to friends, so I moved to the Lehigh Valley. When all my friends decided to move, I had a lot of free time on my hands, so I engaged in a time honored social activity, karaoke. Thus, my friendship with OnTheMicDJs began. I got to know the group first professional, yet fun (ironically a rare combination in the karaoke business). This got me following Will and Jacey around to their various gigs (PJs, Stahleys, Garfields, The Pub on Main, you name it!) and I finally got to know the people behind the business, still professional and fun!
After following them around for almost a year, I started helping them break down their gear on Fridays at The Pub on Main. Now that a new OnTheMicDJ is about to burst on the scene, I decided to offer my services as a DJ. Only one problem, I've never DJ'd before! But Will and Jacey are talent DJs, patient teachers and best of all, good friends. I'm proud to be a part of their team and excited to contribute to what is, according to you awesome peeps, the best karaoke experience in the Lehigh Valley!

About Will & Jacey:

Hey, this is Will and Jacey! We thought you'd like to know a little bit about us. We met at a local karaoke bar and found that we shared a love for music...and long island iced teas. After talking until the wee hours of the morning, it was discovered that Will had studied music education at Moravian and Jacey, having already studied marine biology at ESU, fell into massage therapy. Together we became karaoke regulars, going out 3 to 4 times a week. After a short while, we stumbled upon an opportunity to host karaoke part-time. What started out as part-time, took off into a full-time, 5 to 6 days a week. The decision to leave our full-time day jobs for nights of karaoke fun wasn't too difficult. This led to DJing opportunities such as private parties, birthdays and weddings! Subcontracting gave us the business knowledge and entertainment experience that we needed to go out on our own.

And now, we're all over the place! We've created a unique DJ/MC combo that keeps a smooth upbeat flow throughout the night. We update on a constant basis, bringing you the newest in dance and karaoke music. Most importantly, we understand that everyone is different and appreciates different types of music. This is where we pride ourselves in offering such a wide variety of music to choose from. Whether you're sittin' back to your request or singin' your fav tune, we've made it our goal to cater to all who walk through the doors.
