Questlove is the unmistakable heartbeat of The Roots, Philadelphia’s most influential hiphop band. Beyond that, this Grammy award-winning musician's undisputable reputation has landed him musical directing positions with everyone from D'Angelo to Eminem to Jay-Z. He boasts production credits for Erykah Badu, Joss Stone, Justin Timberlake and D'Angelo, among many others. His uncanny ear for picking the perfect song for the perfect moment has landed him the position of musical director of The Dave Chapelle Show.

Questlove’s insatiable love of music has led him on a worldwide crate-digging journey. He has amassed a vinyl collection of more than 50,000 records that are shelved in a floor to ceiling, climate controlled library room in his personal studio.

What to do with all those records? DJ, of course. Questlove has rocked parties to sold out crowds worldwide. With such a diverse collection, he is able to deliver an eclectic variety of sets. Whether it’s hip-hop, house, 80’s, rare grooves or a mix of everything in between, he commands people to the dance floor to get loose and get down.

 

Previous DJ appearances include sold out shows at the Winter Music Conference 2002-2005, the highly respected Southport DJ Weekender May 2005, NBA All-Star Parties 2002-2005, Miami Fashion Week ENYCE Party 2005, Sundance Film Festival After party 2003, gigs all over America, Europe, Australia and Japan—and a residency in his hometown of Philadelphia at the internationally respected club Fluid.

 

Questlove is the modern day mayor of soul music. No matter what the style, when

Questlove gets behind the decks, people dance until the lights come on. And even then, they don’t want to go home.
