Meet the owner, Michelle Miller A.K.A. DJ RunDat

I knew that whatever I did in life I wanted to be surrounded by music. I grew up with music and was blessed to attend all types of concerts at a very young age, from Willie Nelson at the County Fair to dancing on stage with Bob Marleys wife Rita Marley at age 10. My father had a record player and the first record I bought was AC/DC and then every Madonna record released after.

My entrepreneurial  journey began with a dream to start my own clothing line, produce concerts and learn to DJ. In 2006 I birthed my first business Royal Roots Clothing and my first born child! I was determined to be a mom and not let my dreams die. I quickly learned how to screen print clothes and started selling them at concerts and festivals.

It wasn’t long after that I started to DJ. Music is my true passion. Many ask how I got my name RunDat and it came from my love of Reggae/Dancehall music. You hear it a lot in music, they say “Rundat track” or “We run tings” is a popular Jamaican slang. I fell in love with Jamaican music and have visited the island three times! The first time I was 18 and got robbed by knife point on my way to buy records in Montego Bay! I’ve always collected music and have a big love for all genres.

As an open format mobile DJ I have created a business where I get to explore a vast variety of styles and music from around the world. I take pride in being able to play any type of event. Being a mom of two I have a special passion for introducing music and dance to the children. I’ve enjoyed playing for community and school events and even speaking at career day’s at the high school and community college.

In 2018 I became the best selling author of my book, “How to Start a DJ Business.”

In 2018 I launched my online show Queens On Decks where I interviewed top female DJs from around the world.

In 2020 I launched the Royal Queens Rising podcast, featuring DJs and other industry leaders.

I have been featured in Mobile Beat Magazine, Disc Jockey News, and spoken at several national conventions including Mobile Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas!

In 2021 I won the North Coast Journals, Best of Humboldt,  “Best Wedding Entertainment” award.

Entertainment is what I love, and bringing music and positive high vibes to events across the globe is my passion.  To learn more about me check out some of my interviews I’ve been featured on several podcasts that you can check out below.
