Never underestimate the power of music.<\/p>\n

Like so many Americans, DJ D-Nice<\/strong> (also known as Derrick Jones<\/strong>) has a career that can’t exactly be done like normal during the Coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

But over the weekend, the talented artist decided to get creative and build a “club quarantine” online concert where he spun countless hits and got fans feeling good. How many fans you ask? How about 160,000 people.<\/p>\n

“This is pretty much the equivalent of two stadiums listening to music,” D-Nice shared on CBS This Morning<\/a><\/em>. “I literally just played what feels good. I wanted people to feel good. I wanted their experience to be lifted through music just one song at a time.” <\/p>\n

Everyone from Gayle King<\/a><\/strong>, Oprah Winfrey<\/a><\/strong>, former Vice President Joe Biden<\/a><\/strong> and Mark Zuckerberg<\/a><\/strong> joined the fun. But there was one special guest who was a step above the rest. “The part that touched me the most was I put in a call to get the First Lady in there and the moment she popped in, I just froze,” D-Nice shared when reliving Michelle Obama<\/a><\/strong>‘s support. “And it’s not like I haven’t DJed for her before but I just froze up. I didn’t know what to play.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

He continued, “But then I remembered what she loves. She loves Beyonc\u00e9<\/a><\/strong>. It was awesome though.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

While the DJ was initially planning to take a break from his gigs, Gayle persuaded him to start the party again tonight at 6 p.m. EST on his social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And while some of his neighbor’s complained about the noise, D-Nice says the show will go on.<\/p>\n

“No matter what your problems are, you can put on a good tune and it just takes you away and I was trying to do that,” he explained.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

D-Nice added, “The whole experience was fun. It wasn’t just the music, it was the whole experience and everyone escaping what’s going on today just for a few hours.”<\/p>\n

CBS This Morning<\/em> airs weekdays at 7 a.m. only on CBS.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
