Summary
Arielle Zuckerberg, the 37-year-old younger sister of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, has publicly revealed that she has been working as a DJ since 2018, a pursuit she had largely kept separate from her public profile as a venture capitalist. The disclosure followed the online circulation of a video showing her performing a DJ set during San Francisco Tech Week earlier this week. She addressed the matter in a post on X, writing: "I've been DJing since 2018. I've played at clubs, small festivals, Burning Man, etc. I'm technically professional but it's a side quest for me. I mostly play for / with friends to have fun and spread joy."
Her performance history includes clubs, small festivals and Burning Man events, with a focus on techno and electronic music. Coverage notes that she is part of the Bay Area-based DJ duo Ellen Ride, alongside Raed Khawaja. The duo has released music on platforms including SoundCloud and has put out a track titled "Attention."
Although she is best known professionally as an investor in the technology sector, Arielle's own description positions DJing as a passion project rather than a full-time career. Her public comments indicate that the activity is unpaid or secondary in nature, though the sources do not specify her earnings from the work. Her appearance at Tech Week brought renewed attention to the musical side of her life.
