Our Story
My name is DJ China L’One, the Founder and CEO of the first official Female DJ in the world, the now, renowned We Run the World Female DJ Agency.
I was born in Sierra Leone; West Africa and came to the UK at the age of 13 to join my Mother. At the age of 14 my mother was sadly diagnosed with schizophrenia so both myself and my stepfather helped look after my younger brother James who was 1 years old.
As a child, I suffered from stuttering which was a struggle for me as my ambition was to enter the performing arts industry as an actress. At the age of 16, I decided I had to do something about it, so I got into self-development, by reading books to help me conquer my fear. Also, at this age I was then accepted at the Italia Conti School in Wimbledon where I would go in every Saturday to practice performing arts - dancing, singing and acting.
In the 90s, I became a poet as a therapy to channel and to help me deal with my mums’ mental illness, my stuttering and my confidence. I have written lots of poems and performed poetry slam all over London where I have won various poetry competitions. One of my poem titles ‘Success’ won for Black History Month 2002 at Croydon College, where I was attending. I was then called by the principal officer of Croydon college, asking me if I could recite it for the Graduators of 2002. Because of my stammering, I told the principal I might be too nervous knowing there would be hundreds of people there. So, every day after college, I would practice but eventually I kindly ask the team if I could pre-record it and mime it on the day. On the day, I did mime it and to this day, everyone that attended that graduation thought I’d performed the poem live. As some many graduate and families came up to me saying, that my poem ‘Success’ was touching and made them cry. Performing poetry slam really did helped me with my stammering. My poem, “When you are Natural, you can never be Ugly”, was used as a drama sketch for young people and was performed at the Brixton art gallery.
