Best known as a singer and guitarist, Diesel is also competent on bass guitar, drums and percussion and keyboards. 2) DIESEL is the monicker used by American retired basketball player, former rapper, and NBA analyst Shaquille O'Neal when producing electronic music. In 2014 Shaquille O’Neal began DJing under the moniker “DJ Diesel”. His primary genre under this act is electronic music, predominantly dubstep and bass music. O'Neal began messing around with the turntables as a teenager, and he dabbled in DJing throughout his NBA career.
