(Photos) The 10 Sexiest Celebrity DJ’s
Real DJ’s are going to hate this post and hate every celebrity DJ that exist. Well, actually some real DJ’s guide these new disc jockeys. CLearly this post is not about whether they can actually mix and cut it’s about their sexyness. Click below to see the list.
Alexa Chung
Age: 28
Hometown: Hampshire, England
Notable Gig(s): Burberry Serpentine Summer Party in London, June 2011; Chanel store opening in NYC, September 2010
Sometimes celebrity DJs don’t actually DJ. Shocker, right? Take British TV personality/model Alexa Chung, for example. “I don’t really mix,” she confessed to Jimmy Fallon. “I just press play and then make it look like I’m very busy.” There’s no shame in her DJ game, but we can’t knock the hustle.
Sasha Grey
Age: 24
Hometown: North Highlands, CA
Notable Gig(s): “Sunday Scene” at the Palms Pool in Las Vegas, July 2011; Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida, December 2011
Sasha Grey might have retired from porn, but her career as a DJ is just getting started. She isn’t your typical DJ who sticks to the flavor of the week, however. “I play a mix of Top 40, rock, and hip-hop,” Grey dished in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “Then I always try and throw in my own stuff, like some post-punk, or some old school hip-hop.”
Paris Hilton
Age: 31
Hometown: New York, NY
Notable Gig(s): Pop Music Festival in Sao Paulo, Brazil, June 2012
Paris Hilton is no stranger to nightlife, so the natural progression would be to get in the DJ booth and show the world her skills. With the help of friend DJ Afrojack, Paris premiered her first “self-produced” EDM cut at the Pop Music Festival in Brazil and, while it didn’t go so well, the billion-dollar heiress is still determined to launch a career as a legitimate DJ.
Taryn Manning
Age: 33
Hometown: Tucson, AZ
Notable Gig(s): “College Buyer’s Lounge” at Red Bull Space in NYC, October 2010; New Year’s Eve at Tabu Ultra Lounge in Las Vegas, December 2011
Having landed roles in 8 Mile and Hustle & Flow, Taryn Manning was already hip to the culture, but she didn’t get on the decks until years later. Unlike other celebrity DJs, however, Taryn stuck with it and has been able to book gigs not because she is a known actress, but because she actually has skills.
Daisy Lowe
Age: 23
Hometown: London, England
Notable Gig(s): Jalouse nightclub in London, November 2008; Chic Summer Festival in Kildare Village, Ireland, July 2012
Daughter of Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale, Daisy Lowe was destined to pursue music on some level. Instead of forming a band, she chose to cut it up on the turntables. The fact that she dated industry wunderkind Mark Ronson for a few months in 2008 probably influenced her decision, too.
Solange Knowles
Age: 26
Hometown: Houston, TX
Notable Gig(s): Lincoln Superlounge at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans, July 2009; TAO Beach in Las Vegas, June 2010
Although Solange wasn’t blessed with the vocal ability of her older sister Beyoncé, she more than makes up for it on the 1s and 2s. While “celebrity DJ” sometimes carries a negative connotation (i.e. all flash and no substance), Solange has worked diligently over the years to perfect her craft, and it shows in her live set.
Lindsay Lohan
Age: 26
Hometown: Merrick, New York
Notable Gig(s): Jalouse magazine Fashion Week Party at Tenjune in NYC, September 2006
Whether it’s popping bottles in VIP, powdering her nose in the bathroom, or stumbling out the club as the sun comes up, Lindsay Lohan is no stranger to being the life of the party. Contraband and parole-violations aside, however, LiLo has also been known to get the party started from the DJ booth. With Steve Aoki and ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson as personal tutors, Lindsay definitely knows how to drop the bass.
Kate Moss
Age: 38
Hometown: London, England
Notable Gig(s): Couture Week in Paris, January 2012
Kate Moss has been known to dabble in numerous recreational activities, so it only makes sense that DJ’ing would be one of her many talents. It’s been less than six months since she started her career as a DJ, but that hasn’t stopped the heroine-chic supermodel from taking her act on the road. Who knows, maybe you’ll catch her spinning at a swanky club near you.
Vanessa Hudgens
Age: 23
Hometown: Salinas, CA
Notable Gig(s): “Fashion Night Out” in NYC, September 2011
The former Disney Star hopped on the turntables during a “Fashion Night Out” event last year in NYC. Though she hasn’t booked any DJ’ing gigs since her big debut, we wouldn’t be surprised if she threw down an impromptu set just to show people she still has it.
Alicia Keys
Age: 31
Hometown: New York, NY
Notable Gig(s): Yotel Hotel in NYC, October 2011
When she isn’t busy mastering the piano, selling millions of records, and winning Grammys, Alicia Keys sometimes spins under the alias DJ AK-47. Although she is more than capable of laying down a solid set on her own, it certainly helps to have Swizz Beatz as your hype man.
