Goldman Boss David Solomon Ditches His High-Profile DJ Gigs

David Solomon has decided to no longer DJ at high-profile events, an early retirement for a highly visible off-hours persona that drew unwanted scrutiny.

The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. chief executive officer pulled back from such events a year ago after concluding the media attention was a distraction, according to a person familiar with the matter. His well-publicized spins culminated in a booking for Chicago’s Lollapalooza music festival in July last year and the hobby was referenced when Solomon played himself in a cameo on the Showtime series “Billions.”
