Although he graduated from North Gwinnett High School, he attended Northview High School.
DJ Simmons is the son of Daryl Simmons, an American R&B musician, songwriter, record producer, and Sherry Beal Brown.
Unfortunately, his parents are no longer together.
His mother, Sherry Beal Brown, is now married to her husband, Armond W. Brown, for six years.
In September 2021, they commemorated their sixth wedding anniversary.
Sadly, Sherry’s parents aren’t alive to cherish their daughter’s beautiful relationship.
Her father died when she was just 12 years old on September 9, 1971, and she lost her mother in 2007. After almost a decade, she again had to lose another family member; this time, it was her brother Billy Beal.
As a part of the family, she has two sisters, Kathy Hayes and Murlett Alexander.

DJ said to Distractify that he admires his father’s achievement and hopes to achieve it as a musician.
He said,
“I’m a songwriter as well, trying to follow in his footsteps. At the same time, I’m talented as hell. And I’m dope as hell. Me and Pat [Muresan, of Buckhead Shore] have worked on music as well. We’re just trying to figure it out, you know, the process of everything. You guys will see that this season.”
