I contacted her mainly because of her kindness, her fresh energy and because she is one of the most promising artists in the United Kingdom at the moment. Her fame began to rise during the strict lockdown times of 2020, and she knew how to capitalize on the global transformation to her advantage, taking on a fundamental role in the British electronic scene.
Her style moves between house and tech house, with several highly successful releases on major streaming platforms.
In this talk, we are going to get to know her a little better…
1. About 10 years of career. Successful in your local city, successful with every release, events organized by you, special guest at charity events. How far will you go? What’s the long-term plan for your career?
I love music and I love performing, longterm goal is to just keep having fun and do it for as long as possible! I’ll keep releasing music and I’d like to build my event brand DeJa Groove with my best friend Jessica Alice 🙂 Oh and probably adopt more dogs!
2. Who was your biggest inspiration as a child?
Non music one! I use to have 4 horses and my mum drove me up and down the country competing I was obsessed with showjumper Ellen Whitaker, was good to see a female leading the scene in the horse world and I think she was a huge inspiration to a lot of young girls.
3. Your first release came out during intense lockdown times, and since then you haven’t stopped for a day. Do you think if life had continued normally in 2020, you would have had the same fate?
I’ll be honest I have no idea, lockdown flipped my life completely upside down as I’m sure it did for a lot of people! I’m grateful for the time I had to get my head down with music production and spend everyday with my doggos Lily & Reggie 🙂
4. I always receive High Definition promos and usually include them in my Spotify curated playlists. How does it feel to know that your demo selection task as an A&R gets the biggest results in the house music industry?
Aw thanks for all your support on the HD stuff! This is one of the best feelings! Also love getting to play them out as well, no better feeling, also so lovely to build a small community and family amongst the artists.
5. With technology like AI taking over, what does the future hold for DJs/producers? Will there be any kind of artistic crisis?
Haha this is mad! I honestly believe in the future playlists will take over everywhere and the only place you’ll get to see live DJs live will be proper events held (I obviously hope this isn’t the case!)
6. What would you do if music and nightclubs just disappeared overnight?
Feel like I’m watching it happen slowly already! So not great! But makes me wanna work harder to get a chance to play at some of my fav iconic venues before they go 🙁
7. What are your must-haves when making music? Are there any instruments or sets of effects that you prefer over others?
My go to VSTS are Serum, Sylenth1 and classic Korg M1 and some of my fav effects are Nicky Romero kickstart 2, the Valhalla reverbs and some of the sound toys stuff.
8. Upcoming releases? upcoming tours? marriage? planting millions of trees? Tell us what you’ve been up to!
No marriage just yet! And I struggle to keep house plants alive! But yess I’ve got a few releases lined up this year, back again on FRCST and excited to be releasing on Glasgow Underground, I’m spending some of the summer playing in Crete and hoping to get some new dates for DeJa Groove when I’m back 🙂
9. Let’s say you’re hired to perform a B2B at the biggest festival ever but they won’t allow you to play electronic dance music. What music would you play then and with whom?
This is a funny question I was saying the other day I’m not a huge b2b fan because someone always hogs the decks and its not me! Butttt if its not dance music then I would love to share a stage with J Hus, Dave or Stormzy 🙂
