About Beardie
Beardie is the solo DJ project of Nick Beard, based in Grand Rapids, Michigan – built for dance floors that want modern club energy without losing the hook. His sets move through bass house, tech house, bass, recognizable EDM remixes, custom DJ edits, mashups, and millennial nostalgia in deliberate live-mixed journeys.
Every set is curated for the room, using custom edits and creative transitions to connect familiar records with heavier electronic energy. From brewery takeovers and themed nights to outdoor events and club sets, Beardie brings an adaptable musical experience without falling back on a generic playlist.
