Nexus Radio recently sat down for an engaging chat with the Miami-based sonic dynamo, DJ ReRe, during the Nexus Lounge Miami. This dynamic segment unfolded with laughter, insightful musings, and a glimpse into DJ ReRe’s transformative initiatives in the music world.
DJ ReRe, known for her enchanting presence and powerhouse performances, spoke passionately about her pioneering project, The MixHer. This initiative, explained ReRe, is more than just a networking series; it’s a vibrant community aimed at uplifting women who are making their mark in the music industry. “We just did our Miami Music Week event, and it’s about strengthening the community,” she shared animatedly, emphasizing on the mixer’s remarkable ability to organize events that unite DJs, promoters, media, and venues.
While DJ ReRe is at the forefront of advocating for women, her movement is an inclusive one. She acclaimed, “We just celebrate women, but we have men and everybody else in between. It’s, to bring women to the forefront and make them the norm.” This narrative isn’t about creating boundaries but eradicating them, making DJs synonymous with skill rather than gender.
ReRe radiated with enthusiasm and a touch of humor when the conversation veered toward whimsical scenarios. When asked which animal she thought would make the rudest conversationalist, ReRe declared, “Them damn birds…they mimic things…so they know everybody’s business!” Her playful demeanor won over Ron and the listeners, providing a fresh perspective on what it means to thrive and connect in today’s music scene.
The fun didn’t stop there. When posed with which cartoon character she’d swap lives with, ReRe nodded toward Penny from The Proud Family. “She was a boss girl and she was very young,” ReRe explained, sharing how the theme of empowerment runs consistent through both her artistry and life choices.
As the interview progressed, DJ Ron shifted gears to a more introspective track, asking ReRe about life’s biggest lessons and her approach to handling failure. She responded with sincerity, “You gotta trust people. You need to trust the process… people got you, they’re speaking on your behalf.” Her philosophy on viewing failure as a growth opportunity struck a chord: “Every note happened for a reason…it’s progression because if you don’t fail, you’re never gonna get better.”
Closing the dialogue, DJ ReRe reflected on her ambitions to further enrich her craft through producing. “That is my next thing,” she affirmed with determination, hinting at her multifaceted talents and future ventures.
