Cole Knight

Cole Knight is a Miami-based DJ, producer, vocalist, and model whose career bridges the worlds of fashion, electronic music, wellness, and creative entrepreneurship. Originally from southern Illinois, Cole left a computer science program to pursue modeling across London, Milan, and Paris before relocating to Los Angeles in 2017, where she taught herself to DJ and began producing in Ableton. What started as an intuitive pivot from code to turntables became a full artistic identity — one built on versatility, vulnerability, and the belief that music is both a performance medium and a healing tool. Today she is represented by WME (William Morris Endeavor), one of the world's most prestigious talent agencies, and managed by Peter Donaghy and Sam Sciarra, a testament to the professional stature she has earned across a fiercely competitive global electronic music landscape.

Global DJ Career and Releases

As a DJ, Cole Knight delivers immersive, genre-fluid sets that roll through acid, house, hard groove, techno, UK garage, and breakbeat with a kinetic energy uniquely her own. She has commanded stages at Coachella, EDC, Exit Festival, Day Zero Tulum, iii Points, and Panorama Festival, and held residencies and guest slots at legendary club institutions including Ibiza's DC10, Circoloco, Pacha, UNVRS, Berlin's Sisyphos and HOR, and Club Space Miami — where her sunrise terrace sets have become the stuff of local legend. As a producer and vocalist, Cole brings storytelling, lyricism, and her own voice into original productions that blur the line between dance floor weapon and introspective poetry. A writer since childhood, she channels that literary instinct into tracks released on esteemed labels including Higher Ground, Life and Death, Factory 93 Records, Nervous Records, and Black Book Records. Her 2023 breakout EP Keep It Cute on Higher Ground announced her production voice to the wider dance community, and her Factory 93 single Going Higher earned the cover of Spotify's Housewerk and Tech House Operator playlists alongside radio support from BBC Radio 1 and KISS FM. Her 2026 single Body Control on Nervous Records continues to push her sound forward. At Art Basel Miami 2025, Cole launched Knight Club, her own brand and event concept debuting with a Factory Town takeover that cemented her position as both artist and curator.

Duality is Reality and Wellness

Beyond the booth, Cole Knight leads Duality is Reality, an immersive wellness project integrating breathwork, sound meditation, and guided sonic journeys designed to reprogram limiting beliefs and unlock deeper states of consciousness. Drawing on her yoga practice and her understanding of sound as a transformative tool, she DJs yoga classes and leads meditation sessions that merge the dance floor's communal energy with the contemplative stillness of a retreat. This Vanity Fair-inspired branding portrait by Michael Schacht — shot against a hand-painted backdrop with dramatic directional light in his Chicago studio — captures the editorial elegance and quiet intensity that define Cole Knight's presence whether she is behind the decks at Coachella, leading a breathwork circle, or walking a fashion set. It is the portrait of an artist who refuses to separate art from healing, movement from meaning, or performance from presence.
