In a belated second to last episode of Local Music Shapes Culture, I sit down with my dear friend Jess to talk about her unique journey coming from a Brazilian family, growing up with Indy punk culture, and finding fulfillment in DJing. I kid you not that these last two episodes are my favorite and I have been putting off editing them.
Jess offers a unique perspective on the Indy music scene as someone who grew up in a Brazilian family and stumbled into the punk scene while learning the ropes of DJing. She’s been in the bands Shame Thugs, Dove, Sonia, and Cocors before transitioning to full-time DJing.
Jess is a real one and is not afraid to speak her mind. She knows her talent and hopes for others to embrace learning DJing on their own terms. She’s a strong believer that guiding yourself cultivates a unique perspective.
