Best DJ to book

DJ Black Shawd has never disappointed me! The only DJ I’ll book for past 5+ years. He’s great with people, very professional, knows how to read the room, and takes requests and your event seriously. He knows how to lift the energy and all ages have fun at all events. He’s great with kid events and very engaged and on time even last minute. He’s very reliable. Highly recommend!!

He always gets the crowd hyped!

DJ Black Shawd I've seen a few times, he does what most DJs don't these days he actually interacts with the crowd and gets a feel for what they love. He can take a party and make it better with his music selection. His energy goes non stop the entire times he's mixing. Rock, pop, hip-hop, he can mix it all in. No only can he get the crowds moving with his DJing. He's also a sick ass Rapper and producer from Atlanta, He's been in the game for over 10 Years...

Best DJ in The Valley

Shawd did an amazing job entertaining the guests and making sure everyone had a good time. He was professional, and showed up early and he was overall very easy to work with. I really enjoyed having him at my sister's party. Would definitely hire him again. 10/10 stars!

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 & 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.
