About Me

A word from Damian

Hi there,

I wanted to take a moment to express how truly excited I am to hopefully be part of your party! With decades of experience as a DJ, I’ve had the privilege of entertaining at countless events, and I can’t wait to bring that passion and expertise to make this celebration, unforgettable.

From the moment the party starts, my focus will be on building and creating an atmosphere that keeps everyone engaged and dancing. I know how important it is to read the crowd and adapt to the vibe, so I’ll be curating a playlist that not only reflects the energy of the event but also includes everyone’s favorite hits. Whether it’s classic anthems or the latest chart-toppers, I’m always working hard to ensure there’s something for everyone.

But it’s not just about the music; it’s about the experience. I believe in building a connection with the crowd, creating those moments that spark joy and get people moving. I’ll be using my skills to mix seamlessly, layering tracks, making dedications and adding those little touches that elevate the party to the next level.

I’m also here to collaborate with you and understand your vision for the event. Your ideas and preferences matter to me, and I want to make sure that this party reflects your style and energy. If there are specific songs or themes you’d like to incorporate, just let me know!

Let’s work together to create a memorable time, filled with laughter, dancing, and connection. I’m all in and ready to give 110% to ensure that we make your event one for the books

Looking forward to celebrating with all of you!

Kindest Reagrds,
Damian

THUNDER & LIGHT ENTERTAINMENT (TLE) is owned and operated by Thunder Bays most experienced and versatile DJ, Damian “Dman” Norman. Growing up in Orangeville, Ontario, Damian was always creating and organizing “backyard musical productions” with his school friends. Entertaining others was always the goal. And with a DJ career which began at a small Rollerskating Rink in Richmond Hill, Ontario – Damian has entertained hundreds of thousands, (possibly millions) of people over the years. All through the 90’s in the biggest nightclubs of Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, and then here in Thunder Bay – to massive 3000+ full moon parties on Grand Cayman where he lived for 5 years, Damian’s done it all.

With extensive training and experience working with some of the top rated entertainers in the business, (Damian was trained by Anthony Cools while living in Calgary, who became the #1 rated Comedy Hypnotist in Las Vegas for 12 years), he’s truly learned from the best.

He’s hosted, DJ’d and MC’d hundreds of Wedding Shows, Fashion Shows, Car Shows, Music Festivals, Fundraisers, Charity Events and Private Parties, and has extensive on air radio experience. Even vying for the on air DJ position on the Ellen Degeneres Show back in the day. Damian is also proud to be the only DJ in town (more than likely),  who has spun records in a submarine, performed at numerous Fairytale Weddings on Caribbean beaches, and directed 250 person conga lines through nightclub & hotel hallways, across beaches and outside venues into parking lots.

He’s worked alongside and opened for the likes of Tiesto, Eiffel 65, Tall Paul, Armin Van Buren, DJ AM (RIP), DJ Jazzy Jeff, Chris Sheppard, MC Mario, TI, Nelly, and Xhibit just to name a few.   

His music knowledge is unparalleled, his ability to weave in and out of different genres is remarkable, and his easy going and personable character and ability to read a crowd, is what has made him one of the most sought after DJs/MCs across the country throughout the years.

And on top of it all, he’s a very good boy and quite handsome.

Sincerely,
Damian’s Mom
