From Behind the Camera to Center Stage – DJ Strapz

On this special episode of In The Know, we bring one of our own from behind the scenes to the spotlight—Michael Banks, also known as DJ Strapz—and we’re celebrating his Birthday Week! Known as a talented camera operator with NVMG, Michael steps in front of the lens to share his journey. From radio host and podcaster to photographer, drone operator, coach, and community advocate, his impact reaches far beyond media. We shine a light on his work as a youth mentor, volunteer, and creative force—plus his unique role as a “costume master” bringing creativity and energy wherever he goes. This episode is not just about what he does, but who he is to the community and the ONV & NVMG teams. Join us as we celebrate his life, his impact, and his continued purpose. Happy Birthday Week, DJ Strapz! www.appleorchardknewz.com #InTheKnow #DJStrapz #MichaelBanks #BirthdayWeek #CelebrateGreatness #NVMG #ONVTeam #CommunityLeader #YouthMentor #CreativeLife #AllThingsCreative #ONVShows
