Michael G. Weist III is an American record producer & DJ, music executive, talent manager, and current member of The Recording Academy. Michael is the CEO and founder of Good Times Entertainment, LLC, which was created to host and promote live events based on social media stardom.

After Michael's first show (which was sold out), his events were taking off and Good Times Entertainment's reputation grew quickly , even grabbing the attention of AwesomenessTV, who attended his Nashville event to film clips for their series called "Road to Nashville" in which Michael can be seen leading the event. To take advantage of all the growth, Michael called on celebrities like American Idol finalist Alex Preston, Disney star Coco Jones , and many more to join his line-up of social media & pop stars , further solidifying his events, his company, and himself.

In July of 2014, he launched SwerV Records, an independent recording label under his company, Good Times Entertainment. Weist and his team are sponsored by Plush Recording Studios, which has developed into one of Florida's notable recording studios, with clients such as Nicki Minaj, Flo Rida, Justin Bieber, and Chris Brown, offering Michael and his label full access to their facilities.

After establishing himself as a DJ, he was able to secure events and was the top DJ of choice for celebrities such as Kings Of Leon, and perform at shows and events in music venues across the US. Through his production and entertainment company, Good Times Entertainment, Michael has produced and licensed a catalog of songs.
