dj Rick Mitchell
HOME: Atlanta RAISED: Columbia, MO BIRTHDAY: July 30 (Leo)
WORLDWIDE and RICK-T-FIED
Music that is RICK-T-FIED is music with an extra kick of energy; Memorable music that you'll find still pulsing through your mind long after the music has gone silent. It's music that Rick can spin one day, and know that fans will enjoy the energy tomorrow, next week, next year and into what Rick calls SPINfinity.
Rick enjoyed a huge hometown following when he performed live in Atlanta, and took his unique brand of RICK-T-FIED music to crowds worldwide over the past decade. Despite having retired from performing live, his catalog of mixed CDs and a steady stream of fan email serves as proof that his music and mixing earned Rick a special place with many people worldwide.
It's tough to define 'RICK-T-FIED' with words. Experiencing Rick's music on a dance floor is the best way to learn what Rick's music is all about, but since that isn't possible anymore, here are a few comments from people who have been there ... and have been RICK-T-FIED:
(QUOTES TO COME)
 Rick's reputation centers around energy and creativity in reading a crowd and taking the music hard and deep with beats ... or high energy and soaring with vocals. Most often the night demands music from both extremes which is where Rick excels.

Before playing music for people around the world, Rick brought a world of news to people through television. In fact, Rick has an Emmy Award from his years in television news producing and management.
Rick says the flow of nightly newscast and the flow of a night of music are very similar except that one tells stories with anchors and reporters, the other gets it's messages across with beats and creative placement of lyrics.
Rick's last job in television news management was with the long-time number one station in Miami (WPLG) where he served as Executive Producer in charge of the day to day news coverage and a newsroom staff of more than 75 journalists.
CAREER CHANGE
In the mid 90's Rick didn’t realize that he was at the beginning of the end of his TV career as word of mouth about his music earned him recognition among locals and caught the ear of some folks far far away. Suddenly, Rick found himself chosen as the dj who would open the legendary SALVATION NIGHTCLUB. A few months later he was flown to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil to spin a party.
Rick admits that it was that opening night at Salvation with several thousand people on the dance floor, and the trip to Rio that ultimately convinced him to try to turn his hobby into a career. | ||

LOOKING BACK ... LOOKING AHEAD
People sometimes comment that Rick's music can motivate them to dance hard enough to make it feel like they just worked out at the gym.
Perhaps that's because Rick used to teach aerobics many years ago.
A little known fact: Rick started teaching class only because he hated the music he was forced to endure as a student attending classes at his gym in Kansas City.
