                                                                      and her music as telling a story, and does

               I  don’t  think  that  every  track  you  make  has  to  be  an  emotional  journey  by  any  means,
               sometimes music is just meant to be fun and carefree. I do think, however, that as a DJ it is our
               job to tell a story through our sets. The best DJ sets are the ones that take you on a journey
               through different energy frequencies and emotions.
