Lola began her journey as a DJ after her colle- ge years. As she delved into all aspects of ni- ghtlife, she discovered her “tribe” and sound. Growing up in a musically diverse household, she was exposed to various genres and styles from a young age. Her mother’s obsession with Motown sparked her curiosity and pas- sion for exploring different sounds.
This background made her realize the power of music to bring people together and crea- te unforgettable moments. It also taught her the importance of understanding and con- necting with people, something she considers fundamental in every set she plays, where she sees herself engaging in a dialogue with the audience, feeding off their energy.
Lola also spoke about how she creates and maintains a connection with her audience during her sets. She considers it essential to read the crowd’s energy and choose tracks that resonate with them.
“Creating and maintaining a connection with my audience is so important to me! I start by reading the crowd and choosing tracks that resonate with the energy. I make eye contact, use hand gestures, and smile to engage with them.” She shares.
The audience response is everything to her; it’s an instant feedback loop that makes her go all out on every presentation.
“Seeing the crowd dancing, cheering, and en- joying themselves fuels my energy and crea- tivity, making each set a unique experience”.
One of the most memorable moments for Lola occurred at a festival where the crowd’s ener- gy was initially low due to bad weather. She decided to switch things up by incorporating more energetic tracks and some classics.
“The shift in the crowd’s energy was crazy; they started dancing and cheering despite the rain. This experience shows the importance of being flexible to the audience. Unfortunate- ly, I do think some DJs at major events can get lost in their world and forget to consider the audience’s vibe. It’s essential to remember that we’re there to create an experience for them”.
