In Episode 5, Brandon Anthony sits down with powerhouse DJ, creative, and unapologetic trailblazer DJ Ivy. Get ready for a deep dive into music, culture, and the wild ride of building an authentic DJ career.

From Cleveland’s rave roots to LA nightclub residencies and festival stages with legends like Lauryn Hill, Kendrick Lamar, and Drake, DJ Ivy has done it all. In this unfiltered conversation, she opens up about:

• How she broke barriers and made a name for herself in a male-dominated industry
• Defining moments behind the decks, from playing after-hours parties to controlling crowds of thousands
• Her journey from roller skating and voguing to headlining in the hip hop & dancehall scenes
• Balancing dual passions as a DJ, fashion designer, and even her time as a dancer
• The real challenges women DJs face (and what most people still get wrong about the craft)
• Her approach to reading a room, blending genres, and those controversial song requests
• Lightning-round: Should DJs play tracks twice? What about full glam in the booth? And more!

Plus, don’t miss DJ Ivy’s exclusive live set at the end. This one’s got bounce, nostalgia, and fresh energy from start to finish.
