Shaquille O’Neal has been making waves in the electronic dance music scene. He even has his own DJ name, DJ Diesel. He recently performed at the Governor’s Ball Music Festival in New York. The crowds seem to love his sets and he seems to love playing for them, feeding off their energy. It has always been about having fun for Shaq, who actually loses money on most of his performances.

O’Neal’s son, Myles O’Neal is a DJ himself who got invested in this industry because of his father. While his dad is out performing shows, Myles is busy remixing songs. His latest remix is of the song ‘Big Bank’ by artist YG. The song can probably electrify any crowd. Myles posted a snippet of his remix on his Instagram page.

As any father would do, Shaq shared his son’s post on his story, giving the song more exposure. The O’Neals look like they are having a lot of fun producing music as DJs.
