Whether it is a renowned rapper like Drake or an emerging artist seeking a breakthrough, LeBron James has consistently been a catalyst for fresh talent in the music industry. His Instagram platform alone has propelled artists like Doe Boy into overnight stardom. Recently, LeBron has thrown his support behind DJ Meel, a native of Cleveland and a friend he has known for over 20 years.

In a recent post from Meel, he shared a video featuring LeBron James endorsing the DJ. Dubbed “Testimonial Tuesday”, Meel’s video showcased James recalling their growth together, recognizing Meel’s inherent talent from the beginning. James expressed his preference for having DJ Meel spin at his birthday and anniversary parties, commending Meel’s knack for keeping the crowd in the groove.

The basketball icon extended his best wishes for Meel’s continued success in the industry. The post shed light on LeBron James’ ongoing commitment to uplifting and promoting promising talents in the music scene.

Embracing the title of “one of a kind” bestowed upon him by LeBron James, DJ Meel’s entry into the music world was indeed unique. Initially, Meel had never envisioned himself stepping into the realm of music. However, NFL Quarterback Troy Smith approached him, proposing the idea of a music career.

Smith not only floated the idea but also facilitated Meel’s journey by gifting him a MacBook, while a friend contributed turntables and a mixer. From that moment, Meel’s trajectory in the music industry took off without looking back. Subsequently, Meel founded the music club Selective Hearing, which has since transformed into a monthly party and expanded into a show on Taste Radio.

DJ Meel and LeBron James are connected through business as well

In 2018, DJ Meel made a bold move to Los Angeles, driven by the passion to delve into DJing and pursue a role as a Music Supervisor. Having completed a Musical Supervision program at UCLA, DJ Meel found himself approached by LeBron James’ company, the SpringHill Company.

In 2020, Meel took his talents to the exterior of The Staples Center in LA Live, spinning tracks for select Los Angeles Lakers‘ games. The partnership between James and Meel extends beyond events, as they both share affiliations with renowned brands such as Nike, Beats by Dre, and others. Meel’s impressive roster of brands includes Sprite, YouTube, Remy Martin, Timberland, Boys & Girls Club of America, Cleveland Browns, Amazon Music, BET, and more.
