I started out following local DJs and the vibrant club scene, captivated by the pulsating beats and the energy that filled the air.

Every night was a new adventure, introducing me to different sub-genres and innovative sounds that pushed the boundaries of creativity and expression. As I immersed myself deeper into this world, I began to understand the intricate relationship between the crowd and the DJ, where each set told a unique story, resonating with the emotions of those present.
When did you get into music and how?
In 2019, I’ve always wanted to try it, so one day I bought a DJ controller and tried mixing, immersing myself in the electrifying world of music and sound manipulation. The moment I laid my hands on the controller, a surge of excitement rushed through me as I explored the various features and functions it offered. I watched countless tutorials online, learning the art of beat matching and transitioning between tracks smoothly, which fueled my passion even further.

There’s something truly magical about melodies that resonate in our hearts, evoking memories and emotions that can be shared and celebrated together.

What do you think is the best part about being a DJ?
When I can play the music I really love, then the party vibe kicks in, and everyone has fun, dancing together under the vibrant lights. The infectious rhythm fills the air, drawing people in and letting them forget their worries. Each song seems to resonate with the crowd, creating connections and unforgettable moments as laughter and joy spread like wildfire, making it a night to remember for all involved. It’s in these musical moments that true friendships are forged, and the energy lifts everyone’s spirits, ensuring that the celebration lasts long into the night.
What do you think is the worst part about being a DJ?
The worst part of being a DJ is dealing with unruly or intoxicated crowds who constantly make absurd requests that can disrupt the flow of a well-curated set. These moments can be extremely frustrating, as they not only challenge your ability to read the room and maintain the right energy but can also lead to a chaotic atmosphere where it’s difficult to keep everyone entertained.
What do you think makes a great dj?
When a party has no dead moments,in my opinion the energy should always be through the roof.
