NICK MCPHERSON - Founding DJ

Nick McPherson is the owner of NWN Entertainment and a graduate of SUNY Albany with a degree in Digital Forensics. By day, he works as a Network Analyst for Schenectady City School District; by night, he’s a DJ with a passion for music and performance. His love for music, paired with his deep interest in technology, made DJing a natural path—blending two of his greatest passions into one dynamic career.

Being a two time finalist for Times Unions “Best Of” in the DJ Category, having 10+ Years of Experience as a DJ, and being a Resident DJ at Wolff’s Biergarten and The Misfit, Nicks open format style and situational versatility is unmatched. 

Nick originally got his start in the entertainment industry back in 5th grade, volunteering to mix sound for his elementary school’s variety show. That early experience sparked a passion that grew throughout middle and high school, where he honed his skills in audio mixing for theatrical productions and band performances.

Back in middle school, Nick and his friend Will attended school dances and quickly noticed that the DJs hired for the events often fell short—they didn’t mix the music, failed to read the crowd, and brought underpowered sound systems. Convinced they could do better, Nick took it upon himself to learn how to mix music, starting from scratch on his laptop using just a keyboard and mouse.

Nicks quick mixing skills and versatility will keep any dance floor packed - you won't regret choosing him for your next special event!
