About DJ Shakim:

DJ Shakim received his first big break in 2000 when music mogul Jermaine Dupri offered him a position to fill in as Da Brats’ tour DJ. Within 72 hours, Shakim found himself in Europe performing for more than 50,000 people. After a successful run with Da Brat, Shakim became the personal DJ for Bow Wow, rocking crowds in Amsterdam, West Berlin, Germany, Tokyo and London. After a seven year run, he returned to Atlanta and quickly became one of the most recognizable DJs in the country, tapped to spin at top events, including the Essence festival, NBA All-Star weekend, and the Superbowl.

DJ Shakim has performed at parties for Jermaine Dupri, Sean “P-Diddy” Combs, Mary J. Blige and R. Kelly. He also spins as the exclusive DJ for Bell Biv Devoe and New Edition and continues to tour the country extensively.

About Love, Peace & Hip-Hop:

Love, Peace & Hip-Hop, a FREE Annual Family Music Festival, is one of Columbia’s largest music events. Since 2013, our event has brought over 24,000 attendees to Main Street with legendary hip-hop performers such as Kool Moe Dee, Monie Love, Slick Rick, KRS-One, and more. Our event was created to ensure that hip-hop, represented properly, can be the medium through which all ages and races can come together for a day of peace, love, unity and having fun – all to support our community.

In its fifth year, Love, Peace & Hip-Hop will extend its mission to provide support, through charity and awareness, to non-profit organizations that offer direct services to our community. This year we are expanding our efforts in education, economic development, art, family stability, and healthcare – the latter of which is evidenced by our 2017 title sponsor, WellCare. We are proud to work with a healthcare company that manages care services for families, children, seniors, and individuals with complex medical needs.
