Well my sunny sunny sunshine ☀️ there really is a first time for everything… and this is definitely a first for me. 🥹
I’m genuinely honored to have been asked and invited to be part of this panel this Thursday.
I’ve DJed in front of people plenty of times, from streaming on Twitch to playing clubs and festivals, but the funny thing is, I’ve never actually had to TALK in front of anyone. Put me behind the decks and I’m good… hand me a microphone and ask me to talk about myself? That’s a whole different story. 😅😆
But this Thursday, Oct 8 I’ll be stepping out from behind the decks for my first-ever speaking panel for ABOVE AVERAGE
I’ll be joining by Arvin T with our good friend Zehv who will be hosting our conversation about building a journey in music through community, social media, and most importantly, being authentically ourselves.
It’s kind of crazy to look back and realize how much of my journey as SunrYse simply came from loving music deeply and following that passion wherever it took me, putting myself out there even when I didn’t believe in myself, saying yes to opportunities that honestly was nervewrecking and finding some pretty incredible people along the way.
From dance floors to building TranceFamily NYC and growing NewYorkAnjunafamily what started as simply loving the music somehow became this whole journey filled with friendships, opportunities, experiences, and memories I never could have planned for. And now, somehow, all of that has led to someone asking me to actually sit down and TALK about it. 🥹💛🫰🏼🎶
I definitely don’t have all the answers, but I do have my own story, the things that worked, the things that didn’t, and the things I learned just by being myself and figuring it out along the way.
Am I nervous to speak in front of people than DJ in front of them? Probably. 😂 But, I’m equally as excited to step outside my comfort zone, share a little bit of my story, and hopefully leave someone with something they can take into their own music journey.
