DJ Michelle ( @iamdjmichelle )

She is the youngest professional female DJ and turntablist in the world. Michelle grew up watching her father’s spinning skills and listening to good music and as a result, developed an innate devotion to music which stemmed during her toddler years and developed to become a true profession. She is the youngest Brand Ambassador for Numark and Mackie – professional DJ and sound equipment brands. Recently she also started to produce beats and now she is working on her first single as well as her first book, and both of which are going to be motivational and inspiring.

Through the campaign, Nickelodeon is providing a platform to extremely gifted children who wish to inspire their young viewers and lead them to build something beautiful with their passions. Whether it’s playing an instrument, excelling at a sport, helping the environment, or inventing the next big thing, this series will focus on everyday kids doing extraordinary things.
