This week Kate talks to DJ Barroness and co-founder of The House of Happiness, Emma Barron. Emma has been DJing for roughly 4 years now. She is also a TV producer for C4. Emma always had a major interest in music and was a drummer in various bands, grew up on the clubbing scene in Manchester in the 90's and then London. She also spent many summers in Ibiza - so both old school house and Balearic sounds have influenced her music style today.
After getting sober in 2017 Emma decided that she wanted to follow her passion so bought some decks, booked a DJ course at Hub16 in Dalston to hone her skills and then got involved in some sober DJ events. She has played gigs at various venues including House of Barnabus, Fugitive Bar Bethnal Green and more recently Ministry of Sound Members bar. One of her first gigs was doing warm up for Brandon Block on a boat party.
She shares the joy and connection of learning to party sober and finder her way back to her first love of music.
London's House of Happiness first event is just a few weeks away on Saturday 8th September 12 noon - 5pm.
Grab a cuppa and let's chat.
Love Kate x
