Mike Swain: A DJ’s Journey of Resilience and Triumph

Mike Swain, the heart and soul behind Make It Kount Entertainment, is no ordinary DJ. For over 20 years, Mike has been the maestro of countless unforgettable events, infusing life into parties and creating memories that last a lifetime. His journey in the sound and music industry began in high school, where his fascination with sound equipment set him on a path to becoming one of the most sought-after DJs in the business. From those early days, Mike’s passion for music and his dedication to ensuring people have the time of their lives has been unwavering.

But Mike’s journey took an unexpected and challenging turn, testing his resilience and spirit like never before. A devastating health crisis led to the amputation of his right leg below the knee. This hit like a thunderbolt, not just to Mike, but to all those who knew and loved his vibrant energy and unmatched talent. For someone whose life revolved around bringing joy and rhythm to others, this was a monumental blow.

However, if there’s one thing Mike Swain is known for, it’s his unyielding determination. Mike has resolved not to let this setback define him. He took on physical therapy with the same passion he once reserved for his DJ clients, learning to walk, balance, and eventually (Lord willing) dance again with a prosthetic leg. His grit and perseverance are nothing short of inspirational.

Mike’s love for music and entertainment never waned through every grueling step. He knows that his journey is not just about personal recovery but about proving that he can still rock a party just as hard as before. Mike is returning to his craft with renewed vigor, determined to show the world that his spirit cannot be amputated.

Make It Kount Entertainment, the company Mike built, embodies his commitment to excellence. Every event is meticulously planned, ensuring that no detail is overlooked. Mike’s passion for perfection and his dedication to each client shines through in every performance. This commitment to high standards is reflected in the company’s policy of NOT playing explicit lyrics where there is anyone under 18, a guarantee backed by their proud membership in the National School Dance Network.

The equipment Mike uses is top-of-the-line, professional-grade gear from brands like American DJ, Shure, QSC, dbx, Furman, Eternal Lighting, Virtual DJ, and Denon DJ. This ensures that every event sounds and looks great, with backup equipment ready if needed. Mike’s meticulous preparation means that clients can relax and enjoy their events, knowing they are in capable hands.

However, the journey back to the DJ booth isn’t an easy one. The medical bills and the cost of his prosthetic leg have been substantial, and rebuilding his business in the wake of such a life-altering event has been a monumental challenge. This is where you, the Wills Point community, and surrounding areas can make a profound impact.
