Today in Black History Month, I want to shine light on one of my idols, a Female DJ named Cocoa Chanelle.  Not only is she a talented DJ but she has showcased her skills on television, radio, in music and more! Meet DJ Cocoa Chanelle.

DJ Cocoa Chanelle is an American hip hop DJ, rapper and producer best known for being a radio personality /DJ on New York City‘s radio station HOT 97 and Kiss FM, as well as being the first DJ ever employed by BET (Black Entertainment Television) on their teen talk show “Teen Summit”.

Chanelle’s big break came when she landed a weekly spot on BET‘s teen talk show Teen Summit as the first-ever BET resident DJ for over six years. She has also worked on MTV‘s Spring Break. She made several guest appearances on BET‘s Rap City and 106 & Park.
