DJ Ones (Joel)

When it comes to the Minneapolis nightclub scene, DJ Ones is most assuredly a name you’re familiar with. And if you’re not, it might be time to crawl out from under that rock. Whether it be on the rooftops at Seven and Union, in the booth at Exchange and Goldroom, or on stage at Pourhouse, DJ Ones keeps the crowds moving with his wealth of knowledge for cutting edge hip-hop and perfectly timed throw backs.

It all started back in 2015 when Joel first began DJing at Mankato State. Smash cut to today, and his experience in just a few years is impressive. He’s performed on stages across the US including New York, Chicago, Dallas. He’s backed up several noteworthy acts, including an international festival performances with Obie Trice. And, he’s been called upon to open up for major acts including Nipsey Hussle, Rick Ross, Fabolous, and T-Pain… and that’s just naming a few. Ones is also highly sought after for bringing a modern, tasteful selection to weddings, private parties, and corporate events, both as DJ and host.
