October 15, 2025Middle school dance
We hired DJ Black Shawd for our middle school dance and he did a fantastic job! He arrived on time, was professional, and kept the energy up all night. We had a small hiccup with the Wi-Fi, so the kids couldn’t send in song requests, but he rolled with it seamlessly and played a great mix that kept everyone dancing and happy. Highly recommend for school events! Will be using him again for our next dance!

About
DJ BLACK SHAWD – The Vibe You Didn’t Know You Needed (But Glad You Found)
You just stumbled on the best-kept secret in the city—except I’m not a secret anymore.
I’m DJ BLACK SHAWD, and let me tell you straight up:
You will not find a better DJ than me. Period.
I bring energy, vibes, professionalism, and flawless mixes that keep your party lit from the first song to the last dance. Weddings, birthdays, corporate events, cookouts, family reunions, clubs, baby showers, divorce parties—I do it all. And I do it better.
You’re not just booking a DJ.
You’re booking a whole experience.
I read the room, flip the switch, and turn your event into a MOVIE.
And the best part?
Once you book me, I usually end up becoming family. No lie.
Folks book me once—and that’s it. They don’t call nobody else after that.
You know why?
Because I show up on time, I show out when it’s time, and I leave people talkin’ about your party like it was the BET Awards.
Need more sauce? I’m currently offering a FREE 360 video photo booth with your booking. Yep. No extra charge. Because I’m just built different.
So go ahead—stop scrollin’. Stop searchin’.
You found your DJ.
Let’s lock in your date before somebody else does.

Influences and inspiration
Influences:
As DJ BLACK SHAWD, I draw inspiration from some of the most iconic pioneers in the industry who have shaped the sound and culture of DJing. Influences like Grandmaster Flash, DJ Kool Herc, and Afrika Bambaataa, who laid the foundation of hip-hop DJing, resonate deeply with my approach to the craft. I also admire the creativity and technical mastery of DJs like Jazzy Jeff, Qbert, and A-Trak, who pushed the boundaries of turntablism and brought innovative techniques to the forefront. Present-day influences include DJs like DJ Premier and DJ Khaled, who have successfully bridged the gap between being a DJ and a producer, creating timeless music that spans across generations.
Experience and Values:
Beyond my influences, my journey as a DJ has been shaped by my commitment to giving back to the community and helping others find their voice through music. I've had the privilege of teaching DJ classes at local schools, where I've empowered students to express themselves creatively through music. These experiences have been incredibly rewarding and have reinforced my belief in the transformative power of music. Additionally, I've participated in free charity events, using my platform to uplift and inspire others, which has been one of the most fulfilling aspects of my career.
In everything I do, I strive to honor the legacy of those who came before me while carving out my own path. My goal is not only to entertain but also to educate and inspire the next generation of DJs and music lovers.
