About Me

Born in Oakland, raised in San Leandro, California, DJ Nelle C has always been immersed in the vibrant sounds of the Bay Area, a place renowned for its diverse musical culture. Her journey into the world of music began in her teenage years, when she would create mixed CDs for her family and friends. This simple hobby, driven by a passion for sharing music, would later lay the foundation for her thriving career in the DJ scene.

After graduating from high school, Nelle continued to explore her love for music, initially using it as a creative outlet with friends. Her early experiences involved DJing at house parties and taking on independent performance gigs, where her natural flair for reading a crowd and blending various genres began to emerge. These formative years allowed her to hone her craft and gain valuable hands-on experience in front of live audiences.

As her passion for music deepened, she turned to the digital space, where she began to create DJ mixes that gained traction on platforms such as SoundCloud. Her mixes quickly garnered thousands of listeners and provided a platform for over 100 independent artists across the nation. By curating tracks from emerging talent, she not only built her own reputation but also supported the underground music scene, helping to elevate and expose a new wave of creativity.

In 2022, she took a significant step forward in her career when she discovered an internship program at Studio X in Oakland. This opportunity exposed her to the world of audio engineering and allowed her to expand her skill set beyond DJing. Eager to learn and grow, she immersed herself in the technical side of music production, blending her artistic intuition with the precision required for high-quality sound engineering. Since then, she has continued to DJ professionally while also working as an audio recording engineer, producing tracks and collaborating with fellow musicians to create innovative, polished music.

Her journey from a hobbyist creating mixes for friends to a seasoned DJ and audio engineer showcases her dedication, versatility, and commitment to the art of music. Whether behind the decks or in the studio, she continues to push boundaries and inspire both listeners and artists alike with her unique approach to sound.
