In the midst of Miami Music Week’s electrifying energy, we had the opportunity to sit with the captivating DJ producer, BXNNY, at the Goodtime Hotel during the Nexus Lounge Miami. Known for her seamless blend of sounds that pay homage to her Moroccan heritage while encapsulating Miami’s vibrant nightlife, BXNNY is an artist who transcends borders with her music. As she prepared for her performance at Hidden House, we delved into her sonic evolution, inspirations, and life’s lessons.
BXNNY’s unique style emerges from a rich palette of musical influences, ranging from Latin to Middle Eastern, and African to European electronic music. She weaves these diverse sounds into an intoxicating tapestry of Afro beats, EDM, and House music. As she shares, “I love that. I love discovering new music. I’m also excited about playing tomorrow at Hidden House…this is where we come alive.” Her dedication is evident, with a desire to grow beyond her Afro House roots and dive into the deeper, more electronic terrains.
Reflecting on her journey, BXNNY revealed a pivotal lesson from her career. “The amount of hours you gotta put in, how you’re not really taken seriously. You’re constantly proving yourself,” she confides. “But eventually you get to a point where it’s like, you know what? I don’t really care anymore. I’m just gonna make music.” This perspective fuels her passion, driving her to create music that resonates with others on a personal level.
BXNNY’s authenticity extends beyond her music. During a light-hearted segment of our conversation, she shared playful insights into her personality. If given the chance, she’d trade lives with Moana, exploring freedom and adventure. Moreover, in a bit of whimsical musing, if she had to haunt anyone, it would be her exes—showcasing her witty and candid nature.
Beyond the personal revelations, BXNNY’s vision for the future is clear. She dreams of building a legacy that allows her music to serve as a retreat from life’s stressors. “I love positive music, but just something that made you relax, made you forget about the world for a few minutes,” she explains. Her goal is to transport listeners to another dimension, providing a sense of meditation and revitalization through her art.
Her influences, both musical and familial, have shaped her outlook on life. As a mother of three, BXNNY finds joy in the simple moments shared with her children, which profoundly influenced her artistic evolution. Embracing her different roles with grace, she appreciates the duality of life, balancing the soft with the assertive.
This interview not only revealed the complexity of BXNNY’s layered persona but also invited listeners to delve deeper into her world. Her journey reflects resilience, cultural pride, and the transformative power of music.
