DJ Ricoveli

DJ Ricoveli, born Dre’Shawn Spearman, is a national recording artist, producer, and the official tour DJ for platinum-selling rapper NoCap. A native of Fayetteville, North Carolina, Ricoveli’s journey into music began long before the stage lights — rooted in leadership, community, and creativity. Known for his commanding stage presence, precise mixing skills, and ability to read any crowd, Ricoveli has become one of the rising names in hip-hop culture and live performance across the country.

From an early age, Dre’Shawn displayed a strong sense of ambition and leadership. In high school, he served as student body president and earned national recognition as the 2017 Disney Dreamer of the Year, celebrated for his curiosity, courage, and commitment to personal growth. His early passion for writing poetry and lyrics evolved into freestyling, recording, and DJing, eventually shaping the musical identity he is known for today.

Ricoveli’s career took a major turn when he enrolled at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia. While studying sociology, he immersed himself in the Atlanta music scene — performing at campus events, parties, and regional showcases. The nickname “Ricoveli” originated as a playful reference to “Rico-Ville,” a nod to his Fayetteville roots, and it soon became his brand identity.

As his reputation grew, Ricoveli became a sought-after name across college circuits and regional stages. His unique ability to energize a crowd led to opportunities with major brands and events, including Puma Hoops, BallIsLife, WatchTheYard, and the A3C Festival. His versatility as both a DJ and producer allowed him to expand into music production, artist collaborations, and event sound design — making him a well-rounded force in entertainment.

The defining milestone of his career came when Ricoveli was named Official Tour DJ for NoCap, a major national recording artist. This role placed him on some of the biggest stages in the country, performing in front of thousands and managing live transitions between artist sets, production teams, and touring crews. His professional discipline and creative instincts have earned him respect within the industry as both a performer and a reliable partner on tour.

In addition to his DJ work, Ricoveli is also a recording artist and music producer. His singles, including “Off the Top,” “Bad Bitch,” and “Pressure,” showcase his lyrical talent and knack for creating high-energy records that resonate with today’s hip-hop audience. These releases reflect his continued evolution as an artist who not only plays the music but makes it.

Despite his national success, DJ Ricoveli remains deeply connected to his Fayetteville roots. He regularly engages with his community, mentoring younger artists and representing his hometown on every stage he touches. His story is one of resilience, self-determination, and vision — from high school leadership to college entrepreneurship, from local parties to national tours.

Today, DJ Ricoveli stands as a multifaceted creative — blending the artistry of music, the energy of performance, and the heart of leadership. Whether on stage with NoCap, behind the turntables at an exclusive event, or producing his next record, he continues to inspire others to chase their dreams without limits.
