XDream
"if im not behind the decks.. i'll be on the dance floor"
"Dancing is my passion, I want to make people feel how I feel when I dance
nothing could make me happier"
'Originally I wanted to be a dancer / choreographer.. as time went on, I realised I want to DJ… I want to make people feel how I feel when I dance, so through my music and specific songs, I try to make people lose it on the dancefloor.. like I do!
I still love dancing and choreographing.. I always will. But for now, I want to make people dance'.
This is why XDream picked up the art of a DJ and is why her energy and stage presence is truly exciting to watch, every manipulation of her music is reflective of her effervescent personality, and her passion.
