Exclusive Interview: Kekka loves every moment of being a female Dj

DJ Kekka was exposed to music and to see and live what it means to be a DJ from an early age. Her father, a famous senior DJ of the Hungarian nightlife (DJ BANDERAS) introduced her to all kinds of music and taught her how to spin vinyls when she was still a teenager and most of all to understand that being a DJ means more than just to blend two tracks together. In other words, Kekka grew up with music and developed a deep love and huge understanding about music and the essentials and techniques of professional Djing. She would describe herself as being pierced by rhythm all over her body!
