The DJ moment happened by chance
During lockdown, she was teaching mental health to teenagers who were stuck at home and struggling. To motivate them, she started posting fun, uplifting videos including dance clips, challenges, and anything that would get them out of bed and smiling. One video led to another, and suddenly her students’ challenge to hit 10,000 followers started making headlines.
Aaand her videos DJ’ing in the kitchen to classic house tracks with two pan lids went viral. She found a niche even when she wasn’t looking for one.
Truly never old to find your passion that’ll make you go TikTok viral.
After being offered real DJ lessons, she bought her own decks, practised relentlessly, and now
Officially a DJ in her 60s!
On the Lovin’ Dubai show, she spoke about confidence coming with age and trying out new things ALWAYS because “What’s the worst that could happen?”
Now a full-time creator and DJ, Crazy Auntie is bringing her feel-good house sets to Dubai this weekend. Crazy Auntie will be live at Barasti this Saturday, and yes, it’s going to be a wholesomeee vibe.
