"Music meshed with work that's blessed yields undeniable force."

In the late 1980's, Michael V. Novak, along with a coworker at a local warehouse, decided to begin deejaying. The company they created was J.A.M.M.S., which stood for John and Mike's Music Services. They purchases a used sound system from a local band, Undercover, which featured Kustom tower speakers. Their music was played on LP records and 45's. Their first gig was a backyard party, and instantly the crowd was mesmerized by the knowledge, wit, and musical variety of the duo. Many bookings followed, including graduation parties, weddings, sorority parties, reunions and other events. About a year later, John decided to take a job in California and moved to the west coast. Michael was left to decide what to do with the gigs that were already booked. He decided to continue on with the deejay service and purchased a new sound system, complete with EV 1502 speakers, maybe the best on the market at the time.
Michael's musical knowledge and talent continued to excel and he found himself quite busy with deejay work. Through the years, he used not only vinyl records but cassettes and the infamous cassingles (cassette singles), CD's and minidiscs. The minidisc would become his trademark, even though they never took off in the retail world. Michael employed his brother, Jim, for a short while to complete the "J" in J.A.M.M.S.
Nicknamed M.L. since his youth, Michael decided to advance the company name, just as he had constantly advanced his musical sources and sound systems. The company became known as mljamms, and he was on his own, deejaying away and creating quite a niche' with his wide variety of music and knack for playing unique songs that crowds love from all genres of music.
As time went on and Michael's deejay style continued to flourish, he purchased another sound system which featured EV speakers on tripods. His minidiscs had become the cornerstone of his performances. He was often seen picking up the minidisc player units and lightly dropping them on the D.J. table as the music was playing, without the music missing a beat. This was in vast contrast to the CD's that often skipped or jumped around when the deejay table was bumped. He advanced the company once again as he registered with the county to be known as Michael V. Novak D.B.A. mljamms enterprises.
Michael began taking on annual deejay engagements including parties for New Years, Valentines Day, St. Patrick's Day, 4th of July, Halloween and Christmas. In addition, he took on work at local church festivals, including some of which he deejays the entire weekend event. This was all above and beyond the weddings, reunions, anniversaries, birthday parties, backyard parties and other various musical bookings.
Most recently, Michael added both a BOSE sound system featuring BOSE tower speakers and a JBL tower speaker sound system that have become the envy of not only other deejays, but of bands and musicians who encounter them and hear the incredible sound pouring out of the speakers. He also began using tablets in addition to minidiscs to play his songs.
Through all the years, music was always intertwined with Michael's job in youth ministry. Many events he created involved both areas of his life and career. mljamms enterprises began to incorporate both music and ministry into its repertoire. Events like Jammin' With Jesus and YouthstocK were created. These events combined music and ministry in innovative, highly energetic ways and included youth from both the United States and Canada.
As time went on and Michael began to fulfill his dream of writing and publishing books, mljamms enterprises took on another entity. Michael wrote and self published three books. Later he helped other aspiring local authors and school communities to publish books as well. These authors ranged in age from 12-82. mljamms enterprises now had three areas of expertise: music, ministry, and publishing. Michael, himself, has now written 11 books with 3 more on the way in addition to the dozens he has published for others.
The company continues to flourish today and what began as a small side job has grown into a full-fledged company with many opportunities for others to share in music, ministry and authorship in unique, exciting and dream fulfilling ways. This includes hosting the wedding or party of your dreams, having a keynote speaker to get your audience on their feet and in their heart, and writing or creating that book that you always imagined.

He has recently combined his talents to, again, bring you another incredible opportunity. Look for more information after we are allowed to gather and celebrate life outside of quarantine again.
