Surprising DJ Performances by Celebrities: Let’s accept it, electronic music has become the largest genre in the world. Not only just listening and enjoying, but some celebrities also give their deejaying (DJing) talents a shot behind the DJ booth. In the mid and late 2000s, we’ve witnessed the increase of celebrity-turned-DJ phase, which was criticized by electronic music producers because of their effect at changing DJs’ perception from new-age producers to people just pressing the play button. That new trend cooled down by time as the electronic music developed itself in its one of a kind way.

There are also few celebrities separating themselves from this trend and actually spent effort on DJing skills. The early 2010s have witnessed the rise of those celebrities, they were managed to preserve the artistic side of electronic music and bring their unique perspective to their performances and you might be surprised to see the results. On this list, we’ve tried to pick the top 5 surprising DJ performances by familiar celebrities. We’ll also include people who were then celebrity and now a DJ to the list as long as they were famous in some sector else than DJing.
