Hi friends! I checked something off my bucket list this weekend and finally took a DJ class with Sound Dojo. 🎶🎛️ I don't know if I'll be headlining Coachella anytime soon, but I do know I had an embarrassing amount of fun. Also, if you haven't seen the video yet... go watch it and let me know what your DJ name would be. Mine is still a work in progress.

Now that I've unlocked my DJ era, it's only right to point you toward Here Now Festival. Sango headlines alongside some of our favorite local DJs, including DJ Bloom, for a night inspired by the energy of Boiler Room and built to spotlight Houston's incredible creative scene. Enter to win tickets and come see me there this Saturday, July 25.
