For more than 25 years, Mike has dedicated his entire career to radio broadcast, commercial voice-overs and as a Trans Audio Mobile DJ. (Almost certainly, you or someone you know has heard Mike’s voice on the air, on cable TV, at party or at a wedding reception.) His level of experience is probably unsurpassed in Northwest Indiana. Over the years, he’s provided music for over 500 Trans Audio bookings at every banquet center in the area. Mike is widely regarded by experts in the wedding industry as a premier DJ and Host.
After his busy DJ week-ends are complete, Mike works five days a week in the Trans Audio studio consulting with brides and grooms, helping them prepare all of their wedding day music, activities and events. He also manages and updates our entire music library and is responsible for preparing wedding day planners for all of Trans Audio’s bookings.
We are especially pleased to represent Mike as a true wedding day expert. And imagine...the best days of his career are still ahead of him.
Ruben’s passion to be a DJ began at a young age: he helped his father DJ at parties when he was 10 years old! At age 14, Ruben experienced his first paying job and he hasn’t stopped since. A Latin and Dance Club music expert, he also enjoys interacting with guests on the dance floor. Will your guests need to learn The Cupid Shuffle, Casper Slide, Bustop or other popular line dances? Ruben will lead the way!
Ruben has years of experience with a variety of parties and unique “one of a kind” weddings, too. If you need young energy at your reception, Ruben will light up your dance floor.
Comments from customers include “Great job - Ruben made time to dance with a much older woman. Awesome!” and “Ruben did a very good job interacting with the crowd. He made sure the party was well serviced with his DJ skills.”
Tony Kaminski and his wife Sicily booked Trans Audio for their wedding reception in 2006 before he became a Trans Audio DJ. (We let him get married first, then asked him to join us!) Because Tony is the kind of guy everyone immediately likes, it was easy for him to quickly become a talented mobile DJ. His personality carries through the microphone, too, setting everyone at ease and in the mood for a real celebration. By the way, it comes naturally for Tony to relate to the musical tastes of any group and quickly respond with music they like best. People who might not normally dance come out to the floor because of Tony’s charismatic personality.
And if there is one thing Tony likes, it is when people are pleased with his performance. That’s just part of the reason he regularly receives thank-you cards and recommendations from happy brides and grooms. As Tony says, “It’s all about the customer. I’ve been on both sides of the microphone, so I know how important a great reception is to a bride and groom.”

Jamaican-born Fabian Newman is a long-time DJ veteran with more than eighteen years of radio and mobile DJ experience. His love for music is evidenced by the diversity of the music genres he knows very well, such as Contemporary Christian, Reggae, R&B, Disco, Line Dances and the hottest Club. Fabian’s experience and wide knowledge of music enables him to quickly respond to a wedding reception’s fast-paced changing musical moments. In addition to his versatility with so many styles of music, Fabian is known for his positive, easy-going style and his ability to comfortably host wedding receptions. Frankly, nothing ever seems to bother Fabian! He’s the pillar of clam in the midst of an active reception as he guides everyone along with an easy flow.

Bernie is a well-know reception host and music-mixing pro, with the personal experience of over seven hundred Trans Audio wedding receptions. Always fun and moving to the music, Bernie's contagious enthusiasm makes it easy for guests to get up and onto the dance floor. Very comfortable with music from all generations, Bernie can instinctively “read a crowd” to keep everyone dancing non-stop all night. (High energy celebrations are his specialty.) But in Bernie’s words, the best thing about being a mobile DJ is “just having couples say how special I made their reception and how many compliments they received from their guests. That is why I have been doing this for over twenty years.”
With Bernie as your DJ, simply relax, have fun and enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. Not only will the music be a hit, so will your reception!
Lucky for our customers (and Trans Audio, too), we “heard it through the grapevine” about Mike Rich. A veteran mobile DJ for over fifteen years, Mike heard about our reputation, too. One phone call led to merging our mutual resources to benefit Trans Audio’s customers in new and even better ways.
In addition to his extensive experience as a mobile DJ, Mike is also skilled in the production and presentation of photo video shows. He can “do it all” from pre-production to running the show with his own projector, monitor and screen at any party or wedding reception. It is extremely convenient and cost-effective to have one person (Mike) handle an entire video project. If you’ve thought of having a video show, Mike’s your man.
Think of how easy it is to have Mike be your Trans Audio DJ AND completely create and project your video show, too. With just one person, every moment is coordinated, avoiding the possible confusion and mix-ups trying to “make everything work” separately. With Mike, you get the best of both worlds.
Troy’s been the lead singer in NW Indiana Classic Rock & Retro 80s bands for over twenty years. In his owns words, “I was raised on classic rock and fell in love with The Beatles at three years old. In high school, I loved heavy metal, punk, grunge and alternative. I’m familiar with lots of artists, even music I don’t regularly listen to. I have been to hundreds of concerts and love music.” Troy continues, “DJs have always caught my attention because they are the entertainment, not unlike being a lead singer. You get to entertain people and make their night special.”
Troy is friendly, personable and loves being a DJ. In person, you’ll notice the way his contagious enthusiasm and musical expertise ignites a dance floor. With confident attention to detail and a smile for everyone, Troy’s an ideal match for almost any wedding reception.
