Mr. Spracklin got the DJ bug by visiting the local college radio station at Kearney State College back in the late 1980's. This is where he knew what his career would be going forward. After being a resident DJ for 5 years in many Omaha bars and clubs it's here where he realized that to have a career in DJ'ing he had to get serious about all facets of DJ'ing. Mr. ShowTime was self taught when it came to mixing, blending, vocal training, promotion and many other DJ skills.

Quote: After I saw that the industry was moving to the digital age and it was easy to access music, it changed the whole industry. I could see that the art of DJ'ing was dying fast and that pushing a button was all you had to do to be a DJ. The quality of DJ’s was going down and so was the price of your earning potential. This is when I knew I had to make a difference in the industry. I knew I wanted to help train the best DJ's and MC's around. Help them experience the same success I had acquired in my career. Help them make what they were truly worth and have clients appreciate and respect them.

The Omaha DJ academy has trained many DJ's that have gone on to great success. Many students are respected by their peers and admired for their skills.

DJ Bishop aka Mr. Exclusive

What can I say about a DJ every DJ looks up to? Bishop is the man when it comes to every DJ in Omaha. Bishop has rocked crows all around the world and is the Head Instructor at The Omaha DJ Academy. If you can book him for Your wedding it's money well spent. Has been rocking crowds for many years. We love having Bishop on our staff.

Bishop is not only a great wedding DJ he is a real DJ. He uses advanced DJ equipment at all times Bishop is a very exclusive DJ and a member of private DJ clubs/organizations being recognized as a great DJ.

My contribution to the industry: Is to provide Omaha with the newest, hottest and top quality music. That many have come to love. This story began when DJ Bishop started mixing back in '89. Having been born and raised in Chicago, where "House Music" is a dominating force, he picked up an ear for rhythm timing by learning beats per minute, which is one of the key factors to mixing. The first mixing equipment that he used was tape decks followed by turntables and finally C.D players. DJ Bishop later made the move or better yet, the relocation from Chicago to Omaha, Nebraska in 1992. In Omaha, he started performing at house parties, high schools, Boys Town events, etc. During 1994 he worked for KNOS 88.9 FM as a radio disc jockey on Friday nights and Saturday mid-day. But, his time at KNOS would last for a year when he finally realized that in addition to working at the radio station that he needed to broaden his audience by live Dee-Jaying at different clubs around the city.

DJ Bishop would eventually Bishop moved on to KBLR Hot 107.7 & 97.3, where he was professionally known as "Mr. Exclusive” respectively. As well as spinning the hottest jams for XM Radio the City 67. DJ Bishop drops all the hot "exclusives" On Kopw Power 106.9 weekday rush for 3 years straight. Currently you can catch DJ Bishop Rocking out in varies clubs in Omaha and surrounding cities teaming up with national Coredjs and Crowdrockas djs.
