is DJing for guys only??
The DJ scene is a multi billion dollar industry across the world but what still fascinates me is the very small percentage of female participation. According to last years DJ Mag top 100 DJs (Top EDM/Dance Music DJ list), only female DJ groups Nervo (21) and Krewella (33) represent the females.
In Nigeria, we have DJs such as Soupamodel, Nana, Lambo, Frizzie and Cuppy caryying the baton for the female DJs. MUSIC on MUSIC is going to go deeper into this discussion in the future. For now enjoy this piece on Krewella -
Krewella is an American electronic dance music duo from Northbrook, Illinois, that formed in 2007. The duo consists of sisters Jahan Yousaf and Yasmine Yousaf. Originally a trio, their
third member and producer Kristopher "Rain Man" Trindl resigned in 2014. Their EP, Play Hard, was released on June 18, 2012, exclusively on Beatport, followed by an iTunes release on June 26, 2012. Their debut album, Get Wet, was released on September 24, 2013, on iTunes.
Their musical style draws upon house, dubstep, hardstyle, techno and drum and bass.
After settling a lawsuit with a former member of their group, DJ duo Krewella talk about the online abuse they've faced and what its like being one of the few women in a male-dominated EDM industry.
