DJ Nicholas biography

DJ Nicholas, born Nicholas Eccleston in Kingston, Jamaica, is a trailblazing Christian

Reggae Dancehall artiste with over two decades of ministry through music. Known for his

dynamic fusion of reggae, dancehall, and hip-hop with powerful gospel lyrics, DJ Nicholas has

become one of the most influential voices in Caribbean gospel music.

His journey to faith was anything but ordinary. As a teenager searching for truth,

Nicholas became rebellious, immersed in the Rastafarian lifestyle, and a regular marijuana

smoker. Everything changed after encountering Acts 4:12, a scripture that transformed his

life and set him on a path to becoming a bold ambassador for Christ.

DJ Nicholas has earned numerous accolades across the USA and the Caribbean,

including Album of the Year at the 2022 Jamaica Sterling Awards and Outstanding DJ Vocal

Performance at the 2025 Bahamas Marlin Awards. His discography boasts several successful albums:

• On the Shout (2005)

• Louder than Ever (2008)

• School of Volume (2011)

• The Audiologist (2017)

• Abnormal Decibels (2021)

Fan favorites include “Cut It Off,” “Divine Mathematics,” “Holy Ghost Gym,” “Nah

Bow,” and “Things Already Betta.” His early hit “Back 2 D Owner” recently went semi-viral

on Instagram, continuing to gain traction among gospel music lovers. DJ Nicholas has

collaborated with leading Christian artists such as Todd Dulaney, Anthony Brown, and

Deitrick Haddon, and recently contributed intro and ad-libs to Tye Tribbett’s single Holy

You (October 2025).

A career highlight was his electrifying performance on BET’s Celebration of

Gospel (2016) alongside Deitrick Haddon. Today, DJ Nicholas tours with his band, On the

Shout Band, performing across the Caribbean, South America, the UK, Canada, and the USA.

Many of his dynamic live performances are available on YouTube.

Beyond music, DJ Nicholas is deeply committed to community outreach in Central

Florida and Jamaica, partners with the Madge Lewis Foundation in South Florida, and is the

founder of Bible Addict Apparel, a Christian clothing line that donates a portion of proceeds

to charity. He is also a devoted husband and father, celebrating 20 years of marriage.Professionally, Nicholas works in healthcare and is currently pursuing a master’s degree at Emory University.
