I’ve decided to create a DJ mix for my Sandbox WOW :)
I’ve been a professional DJ for nearly 10 years now, and what a ride it’s been.
DJing has helped me grow in so many ways: Building confidence on stage playing to dance-floors to a festival of 6000+ people (this is a huge one for me, and I’m still working on it!); Gaining new experiences performing at exclusive events like the 50 World’s Best Restaurants awards and big brand launches; Expanding my horizons through my first overseas work experiences DJing in the region, and performing as far as Melbourne and Madrid!
I’m so grateful for the opportunities DJing has opened up for me.
As a DJ, my role is to create the appropriate mood and atmosphere for the event or venue through music. This means adhering to brand/music guidelines, and keeping in mind specific objectives like following a specific event agenda or “play ___, make sure the people are spending!”. This also means that I rarely get the chance to play the music that truly resonates with who I am.
For my WOW, I’ve decided to make a mix of the music that represents who I am: An overall optimist with a bit of a dark side; an old soul drawn to new experiences; lover of life and all its wonders. The 33 minute mix is groovy, soulful, energetic, deep yet uplifting.
FYI there’s a little bit of static (it’s a live recording).
(I could say it represents my imperfection but that’s taking it a bit too far, eh.)
This is my Sandbox, where I experiment with my own sound.
Hope you enjoy it, and thanks for stopping by!
