Goldman Sachs chief executive David Solomon has stopped DJing at high-profile events because of the attention the gigs grab, the company has confirmed.
Bad news for D-Sol fans: The DJ, better known as Goldman Sachs chairman and CEO David Solomon, will no longer be spinning the ones and twos in the public eye. The Financial Times reported Monday that Solomon decided to stop DJing at high-profile gigs last year because of "unwanted media attention," citing two people familiar. The Wall Street investment bank confirmed Solomon has put his DJ side hustle on ice. "This is not news," Goldman spokesman Tony Fratto told the outlet.
Then in 2020, Solomon reportedly apologized to the board after he DJed at a charity concert in the Hamptons that New York authorities later investigated for alleged social distancing violations amid the pandemic. Solomon's last major public DJing appearance was in July 2022, at the four-day Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago. Solomon, 61, joined Goldman in 1999 as a partner with the leverage finance team, rising through the ranks to become CEO in 2018 and chairman in 2019.
