As the country slowly reopens following weeks of social distancing and strict quarantine orders, creative forms of entertainment birthed during the shutdown remain. Millions enjoyed new and old content made available on streaming platforms and participated in virtual dance challenges – but one of the most popular moments was courtesy of celebrity disc jockey, DJ D-Nice. He created his popular virtual dance party, “Club Quarantine.”
Nice is now the headlining DJ for Budweiser’s new temporary digital campaign for COVID-19, where he will provide music as celebrities tune in for interactions with fans.
