7 Pinay DJs Guaranteed to Bring the House Down
DJs have it hard. The club scene is an unforgiving job and expectations are high whenever a DJ goes up on stage. Let’s face it, being responsible for making sure that club guests have a good time for hours on end is a heavy order. Couple that with the risk of ruining a night because of technical mishaps, rowdy customers who want to have their requests played, and other unforeseen events, and it is no wonder that the biggest names in the industry have been men, with ladies being in the minority.
However, things have changed and today, more and more female DJs are taking the limelight. These female DJs have shown that they could go toe to toe with the best in the business. Whether it is dropping the big room bangers, or setting the vibe with some deep house and chillstep, these ladies are fire, and not just on the ones and twos.
