Diplo is used to performing for massive festival crowds, but over the weekend, the superstar DJ traded packed arenas for a kindergarten graduation party and called it one of the most meaningful performances of his career.

The 47-year-old producer shared an adorable TikTok video showing himself DJing for his 6-year-old son Pace and his classmates after their graduation ceremony. In the clip, Diplo danced behind his laptop and speakers before turning to the excited kids and asking, “Are you ready to get crazy?” as they jumped around to his new song with Adrien Nunez, “Two Steppin.’”

“Adding my son’s kindergarten graduation to the list of most important sets of my career,” Diplo wrote across the video. He also joked in the caption, calling it the “most exclusive party this year.”

Diplo shares Pace with model and former Miss Universe contestant Jevon King. He’s also dad to sons Lockett, 15, and Lazer, 11, whom he shares with ex Kathryn Lockhart.

The producer has opened up several times about how much fatherhood means to him. In past social media posts, Diplo described being a dad as “the hardest job” he’s ever had, while also calling it the most rewarding part of his life.
