Myles revealed that he started off small at house parties, and eventually Shaq helped him get his break. Shaquille O’Neal has been performing around the USA in various places as DJ Diesel. So Shaq asked his son Myles to open his shows for him. This gave Myles more reach and experience. This led to him revealing his and his dad’s plans for the future in music.
Myles talked about what it is like to perform with his dad. He said, “DJing with my dad is fun. He is super animated and super childish, for lack of a better term. We are always goofing around. I’ll open, and he will play after me and close.“
He then said that they are going to change it in the future and become a father-son duo. Till now, they both had their own separate careers but going forward, it would be different. Myles said, “We are gonna be called the ‘O’Neal Boys’. It’s gonna be me and him DJ-ing together“.
Then, after Myles had opened and Shaq performed, the two of them would be ending the shows together. This also means the two of them will be making new music together. They are currently figuring out all the logistics of the programming, but they will be having a group soon.

Shaquille O’Neal is making music for the people
Shaq has revealed that he does not make any money from making music. He has admitted that he actually loses money from putting on shows and festivals for the people. But he wants everyone to have a good time, and that’s why he keeps doing it. He likes to see that people are having fun at his shows and head-banging to his music. This motivates him and is the reason he is still doing it.
Shaquille O’Neal has been a great influence in the life of Myles. He helped Myles sign his deal with Barcadi and push his modeling career. He was also a big influence in Myles becoming a DJ. Now that he is about to take the stage with his son, it’s going to be just a matter of time until the two release music together.
