We recently had the chance to connect with Dj Co and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Dj Co, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to share your story, experiences and insights with our readers. Let’s jump right in with an interesting one: What’s more important to you—intelligence, energy, or integrity?
I would have to say Energy. Energy isn’t just about physical stamina — it includes mental, emotional, and spiritual energy too. It’s what fuels your actions, decisions, creativity, and resilience.
Without energy, even the best intentions or ideas remain unexecuted. High energy helps you push through challenges, stress, or fatigue.
Energized people inspire others. They bring momentum and uplift teams or environments.
Energy also allows you to be fully present — alert in conversations, focused in work, and engaged in life.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I am Female DJ, Dj Co the founder and DJ of DJ Co Services, I have enjoyed an illustrious 10-year plus career, providing top-notch music entertainment for diverse events throughout the DMV region.

I have worked with many corporations throughout the DMV &
I am branching out with 2 new businesses which includes Party Bus Services/Rentals and Silent Headphone Parties & Rentals.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
My earliest memory of feeling powerful was when I was 8 years old during a pick up basketball game with a bunch of guys. While I l’ve been loving music since 5 years old, Basketball has always been my second love. By the time I was 12, I was playing with women showcasing my talents, getting trophies which includes, Mvps and etc,.
I knew I was capable of being a great basketball player and I went on to break records in middle school and high school where I received a full scholarship to Saint Frances Academy in Baltimore and scored 65 out of 67 points at a middle school Mt Royal Middle in Baltimore where I averaged about 35-40 points per game.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering taught me what success often couldn’t, which is depth.
It shows you who you are when everything is stripped away—when there’s no applause, no certainty, and no comfort. It taught me resilience, not as a buzzword but as something earned in silence. It humbled me & softened my judgment of others, and made me more human.
Where success can inflate ego, suffering reveals truth. It teaches you to value peace over perfection, empathy over image, and presence over performance. It builds character in the dark, when no one’s watching.
Suffering teaches you how to feel, how to endure, and how to grow—from the inside out.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
Here are 4 lies I find told in my industry.
1. “It’s all about the music.”
The lie: Skill and track selection are the only things that matter.
The truth: Branding, image, networking, and social media presence often carry more weight than raw talent. Many skilled DJs stay unnoticed while others rise because of clout, not craft.
2. “Real DJs only play vinyl / don’t use sync / must scratch, etc.”
The lie: There’s one “right” way to DJ.
The truth: DJing is constantly evolving. Gear and technique don’t define artistry — creativity, connection with the crowd, and energy do. Gatekeeping stifles growth.
3. “Followers = fans = success.”
The lie: A big social media following means a loyal fan base.
The truth: Followers don’t always convert into ticket sales or long-term support. Real connection builds careers — not just numbers.
4. “The scene is dying.”
The lie: DJing isn’t what it used to be — it’s oversaturated, ruined by technology, etc.
The truth: The scene is changing, not dying. DJs who adapt, innovate, and stay true to their voice still thrive.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
The story I hope people tell about me when I’m gone is one of honesty and love.
I want them to remember me as someone who had great energy, who helped others feel seen and heard through music. I hope they’ll say that I made a positive impact on their lives—whether through a thoughtful conversation, helping them solve a problem, or simply through support when they needed it most. Above all, I’d want them to remember that I strived to make the world a little better, even in small ways through a smile and through music.
