In this episode of Soulful Soundtrack of Life, Dayna sits down with music-world royalty, Mike Walter—a passionate DJ, MC, Owner of Jersey based- Elite Entertainment, Prince superfan, and author of On This Date in Music—for a heartfelt exploration of the songs that carried him through joyful times, heartbreak, and everything in between.
Mike opens up about how music has been his emotional anchor during life’s hardest chapters—from divorce to post-pandemic burnout—and how certain songs became lifelines. He shares vivid memories of childhood jams, NYC club moments, and the experiences of seeing Prince live 37 times (yes, 37!).
They also chat on why “overplayed” songs still matter on the dancefloor, discovering new artists like Jake Wesley Rogers, and the story behind his pick for ultimate “soundtrack of life” song.
Whether you're a music lover, a DJ, or someone who’s ever leaned on a song to get through, this episode will have you nodding along, dancing in your seat, and maybe even shedding a tear.
