Experience the Sound

When did you start DJing?

2023

What track changed everything for you? / What’s your biggest source of inspiration? (The one that made you say “this is it.”)

I don’t have a specific track, but the moment that changed everything was at Seismic 2022during Sam Paganini’s set. It was then, deep in the crowd, that I realized that “music is theanswer” and I should seriously follow my passion and pursue music. Until that point I was adancer, competing in shuffle battles, auditioning to perform on stage, and pushing my realpassion aside. Dancing was an extension of my love for music, but to be truly happy Ineeded more, I need to BE the music, express THROUGH music. That moment ofrealization changed everything and made me switch my focus from dancing to DJing, whichwas the best decision I’ve made and I have been aligned with my true calling ever since.

Describe your sound in 3 words (No pressure.)

Bouncy, Groovy, Sexy

One artist who’s always in your sets?

When I play bouncy - GIØ, for my groovy sets: Vilchezz always makes an appearance.

What’s your go-to outfit for a show? (Details, please.)

I love a tight, high-neck top—whether it’s a cut-out or open-back bodysuit, or a long-sleeve top styled with baggy pants or a miniskirt. Sometimes I do a full 180 and go for a super oversized T-shirt for chiller gigs or longer sets, when comfort is key. I always finish the look with a bold chain necklace or one of my body chains, plus a headscarf, bandana, or Kangol hat—even if it doesn’t always survive the set (headphones problems 😅).

Do you dress to blend in or stand out? (And why?)

To be myself, which usually stands out even if its an everyday fit

What’s one non-negotiable before you hit the stage? (A ritual, a snack, a moment?)

Always gotta feel the room out before my set, stand on the dancefloor, dance a little, feel theenergy and tune in to it.

What inspires your style off-stage?(Street, vintage, trends, whatever.)

Baggy street style always calls me, I love the swag and the comfort. Y2K aesthetic has alsobeen a vibe for me lately.

What do you wish more people understood about being a DJ? (Give us the real talk.)

That support means a lot. Every artist has moments of doubt, feeling irrelevant or stuck, andeven when it might seem like we are booked and busy, we just need to be reminded that weare seen and appreciated. It is our job to make people dance and have a good time, andeven though we might see it and feel it from the energy of the dancefloor, sometimesreceiving a direct reminder from someone that they are proud of us or felt something duringour set is all we need to keep going and push the doubts aside.

If your sound had a color, what would it be?(And why?)

Blurple. A mix of blue and purple, with some hot pink on the edges. Imagine a gradient or aUV light. Its bright, glowy, and energetic, yet chill, warm and has depth.
