Episode 18 — The Rhythm of Faith:DJ Mykael V on Passion, Purpose & the Power of Community

In this episode of Bonnerfide Conversations, Gerard sits down with chart-topping DJ, creative powerhouse, and Indie Tribe member DJ Mykael V — one of the most influential voices shaping Christian hip hop today.

From DJing high school parties to spinning in packed arenas with Dude Perfect, Mike shares the real story behind his journey: the calling that pulled him into faith-driven spaces, the challenges of DJing under heavy church restrictions, and how he built a career entirely through word of mouth and consistency.

He opens up about:

The difference between DJing Christian vs. mainstream events

Vision, calling, and the moments God confirmed his path

Breaking into major youth conferences across the country

Life on tour with Dude Perfect

The brotherhood and origin story of Indie Tribe

Why pushing the culture forward matters more than being remembered

This is the first of a two-part conversation, and it’s packed with insight, humor, and heart from one of Christian music’s most unique voices.

Guest: DJ Mykael V
