About Elite Entertainment of Arizona

Mike Roundtree, the general manager and host

Michael "DJ Mad Mike" Roundtree

My name is Mike Roundtree aka "Mad Mike" because I am likely to be caught singing anything just for the fun of it. Sometimes I nail it, and sometimes, I fail it. But Simon’s never around to tell me I did it wrong, so it’s…all…good. I am looking forward to becoming your “host with most” at your favorite karaoke spot in the Valley. I was born and raised in Chandler, Arizona and have been singing since I was 3 feet tall. Not karaoke, mind you but everywhere I went, I had a song in my heart. Working in this industry has taught me many things about what this industry needs and WE provide the extras to make the show the best possible experience. Always updating the songbook with new music every week from actual customer requests and we stay in top of the latest releases each month. Providing rich full sound system that most think I’m mad for using for “just a Karaoke show”…bahhh, if your going to do it, do it right!

For many years, I worked in customer service, sales positions and went to local bars and restaurants that had karaoke and trivia games. Very rarely did I find a host that could keep me coming back. I have worked in the Valley as a Karaoke host for many years and in 2008, along with my fiancé, Brenda decided that to establish a Entertainment company of our own where only the best in entertainment would be provided — and  Elite Entertainment of Arizona was born.

Brenda Paquette

My name is Brenda Paquette and I was born in Springfield, Massachusetts and moved to Arizona in 1982. I have always enjoyed singing, a love that led me to the karaoke scene. About six years ago, I met Mad Mike, who just happened to be my karaoke host he has a very addicting personality/style in his shows. We’ve been together ever since. I am currently employed at Mesa Community College in Mesa, Arizona as the Program and Lab Assistant for the Nutrition Program. In 2007, I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition and Dietetics. I have become the right hand of Elite Entertainment of Arizona with my organizational skills as well as my knowledge in Web development. Like Mike, I feel that all karaoke fans deserve the best karaoke experience. I work diligently to keep the songbooks updated with the latest song requests. And the newest events updated here on the web.

Mike and I try to encourage customers to join in on the fun and I'm always fun to be around. We hope to see you at one of our karaoke shows!
