Dallas, Texas very own, Dj She Real chops it up with Fresh Mix Magazine about what it's like to live, breath, and be a dedicated DJ.
How did you come up with your DJ name?

How was your first gig as a DJ ?
My first gig as a Dj was nerve wrecking and super exciting at the same time. I spent a lot of time practicing, so I was ready to show it off.

My worst experience as a DJ is having my hard drive crash seconds before a performance.
What makes a DJ an irreplaceable DJ in a club setting ?
Having a DJ that can create an experience for their audience, by not only playing music.That takes learning from human interactions and reactions.

Definitely City Girls in Dallas from the clubs to viral mix videos to the radio.

Most definitely.
