Watch Idris Elba DJ at Coachella 2019

Elba plays a DJ on TV, but he’s also one in real life

If you didn’t already know, Golden Globe-winning actor Idris Elba is also a DJ. Yesterday at Coachella 2019, he played a set featuring mostly house tunes, according to festival-goers. After the main festival set, he also spun at a Coachella after party. Watch clips from both performances below.

Coincidentally, Elba recently played a DJ in the Netflix series “Turn Up Charlie,” even releasing a new song in March under the alias "Charlie AYO" (the show’s titular character). Recently, he teamed up with Wiley, Stefflon Don, and Sean Paul for “Boasty.”
