Whether you call him Shaq or DJ Diesel, you’ll probably be excited to hear that later this year, legendary basketball player-turned DJ Shaquille O’Neal will be headed to Columbus.
Shaq, AKA DJ Diesel, will be headlining Haunted Fest, a popular annual festival taking place at KEMBA Live on Friday, October 25. Diesel will be on stage, hyping up the crowd with his high-energy electronic dance music sets, plus amplifying the entire experience with his larger-than-life persona. Imagine the excitement of seeing one of basketball’s greatest legends transforming into an EDM powerhouse right before your eyes!
From NBA Legend to EDM Maestro
How did Shaquille O’Neal go from dominating the basketball court to ruling the DJ booth? It’s a journey as unique as the man himself. Shaq’s love for music started long before his DJ career took off. During his NBA days, he released rap albums that showcased his versatility beyond basketball. His passion for music only grew stronger, leading him to explore different genres and eventually finding his groove in the world of electronic dance music.
In 2015, Shaq made his debut as DJ Diesel at TomorrowWorld, a massive EDM festival in Georgia. His set was a smash hit, and it was clear that he had found a new stage to dominate. Since then, DJ Diesel has performed at some of the biggest music festivals around the world, including Lollapalooza, Tomorrowland, and Ultra Music Festival.
Why DJ Diesel?
You might wonder, why the name DJ Diesel? Shaq chose the moniker to represent his powerful, high-energy sets that hit as hard as his dunks on the court. Diesel’s performances are known for their electrifying atmosphere, pumping up crowds with heart-thumping bass and dynamic beats.
