DJ Nico DiMarco will be BACK at Deaffest!
Nico DiMarco, a third-generation Deaf person from Queens, New York, has always loved music. While studying at Gallaudet University, he became known for his DJ skills.
Balancing a demanding college schedule and part-time work, Nico never let go of his love for music. Since his first gig in 2010, he’s wowed audiences across 10 countries – including unforgettable performances at Deaffest 2019 – with many more stops on the horizon.
By day, Nico works as an Information Technology Specialist for the Federal Government, but behind the decks, DJing and igniting the crowd is where his heart truly lies.
Get ready – DJ Nico DiMarco is back, DJing in style at Deaffest 2026!
