Connect with DJ Shawna

Join us for an inspirational session with DJ Shawna as she shares her journey from performing in bars to rocking the Fi-Serv across the street for the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks.  Life isn’t handed to you.  You have to have a little luck on your side, you have to work for it, and you have to put in your time.  DJ Shawna has done all three, and she’s here to share the specific steps she’s taken to get to the pinnacle of her craft.  
 
Through sharing her story, she will help you uncover the opportunities that exist (or did exist) in your own career, how mentors can assist in your growth and how having a desire to give back to those who help you move forward can explode your own opportunities that exist for you.  
 
A new type of DJ and movement was formed over a decade ago on the Western shores of Lake Michigan. Former professional basketball player Shawna Nicols became DJ Shawna and disrupted the male-dominated industry in route to becoming one of the Midwest’s premier open format DJs. The Milwaukee-native has a knack for effortlessly bringing a room together with her infectious personality and high-energy mixes that keeps crowds engaged and begging for more.
​
DJ Shawna has made her presence felt on a national and international scale with past DJ residencies in Milwaukee, Chicago, Madison, Louisville and even Europe. DJ Shawna has worked for clients like the Milwaukee Brewers, Wisconsin Badgers, Green Bay Packers, NCAA, Marquette University, Summerfest and iHeart Radio just to name a few. In addition, Shawna is now the official DJ and producer for the Milwaukee Bucks and was one of four DJs in the 2020 NBA Bubble.
 
In 2021, Shawna will be releasing an episodic documentary chronicling her incredible journey. In addition, she will be releasing her first orginal song entitled “I Won’t Give Up”. Shawna and her #DareToBe movement have inspired people all over the globe to be their best selves and to never stop reaching for the stars.
