DJ 966 grew up between the United States and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Brought up in an intermixed culture exposed him to an array of sounds creating a versatile music pallet. Growing up in Jeddah, he’s got a love for the beach, sun, and waves. Moving to Riyadh recently added the dessert magic to his pallet. He translated those elements into his sets due to his upbringing influencing his wavey sound.


DJ 966 got his first set in 2016 and began mixing commercial music and transitioned to the depth of the underground. He appreciates different music styles, but favors deep house, tribal house, and groove. His DJ debut came in 2018 at The Kennedy Center in Washington Dc and a New Year’s beach party. Since then, he’s played for thousands of people at events like X-Jeddah, as well as more modest crowds at house parties. A way to describe him would be “sending out good vibrations.”
