Many former models have gone on to pursue other careers. There are talk show hosts, actresses, singers, and social activists. Sky Nellor, however, may be the first of her kind. She left the runway and glamorous magazine photo shoots to become a club DJ. Today, she is in demand at the coolest events hosted by top celebrities.
Sky Nellor was born in Australia, and before being recognized for her abilities as a DJ, she was known for her flawless face and body. Sky appeared on the covers of several high profile international fashion magazines, including Spanish Vogue and Amica. Later, she joined the ranks of Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Anna Nicole Smith, and Drew Barrymore to become a campaign spokesperson for the popular clothing line Guess.
While posing for photographs and walking on runways, however, Sky never forgot her passion for music. She became well-acquainted and appreciative of the work of many music icons such as Aretha Franklin, Al Green, Rick James, and Prince. Her knowledge of diverse music forms and styles would help her in her music career by allowing her to stand out from many club DJs.
Ironically, Nellor got her start as a DJ by taking on a dare. At a popular American club, her friends urged her to take her turn on the turntable. When she did, the crowd was literally stunned at her abilities to blend new and old into a signature sound that few DJs could equal.
Essentially, that was the start of her successful career. A few short months later, Nellor found herself in demand at high profile events hosted by Calvin Klein and Giorgio Armani. Since these first few appearances, she has worked as a DJ for celebs like Britney Spears, Outkast, Missy Elliott, and even former U.S. President Bill Clinton. When she’s not schmoozing with the hottest stars, she works as a club DJ for some of the top nightclubs, including Bungalow 8 and Marquee.
Nellor is also emerging as a major television personality. She appears frequently on MTV and E!. The NBC series Hip Hop on Ice, starring Tara Lipinski, hired Nellor as its musical supervisor and host. She also worked with Russell Simmons and Paul Schaeffer on One World Music Beat, and VH1’s Cover Wars.
Although it’s not clear whether Sky has a special man in her life, there are rumors about her being connected to several celebrities. Among those who have been spotted with the hot DJ are Andre 3000, of the musical group Outkast, Sean Combs, better known as Diddy, and actor Adrien Brody.
