Equality between men and women will never exist in all
sectors...this unfortunately will never be allowed.
Yes, the world of the night is a purely male world, made up of twenty-year friendships that prevail over music or the market (I’m not saying skills, because it’s subjective, I can find someone good who others don’t like etc…)
From unequal opportunities to the relentless scrutiny of her appearance, Deborah has faced obstacles at every turn.
“Women will always have to struggle even if many believe that we get it easier by our appearance; 90% of female DJs are forced to use their beauty to get around, it has often been our trojan hor- se, to get the opportunities to grow within the industry…”
Yet, rather than allowing herself to be defined by these challenges, she has risen above them, carving out a space for herself on her own terms. Her message is clear: true equality may be elusive, but it is a goal worth fighting for.
For Deborah, music is more than just a career; it is a lifeline—a source of solace, strength, and salvation in the face of life’s greatest challenges. In the darkest moments of her
life—divorce,
loss, illness—she has found refuge in the studio, pouring her heart and soul into her music with a fervor bordering on obsession.
“I experienced the worst moments of my life at the same time as the best moment of my career, without this last one being
affected.In the last 18 months I have experienced a divorce, the death of two dogs (which are like children to me), one of which I saw wasting away for 2 months without being able to do anything, and an emergency tumor operation”.
It is this unwavering commitment to her craft that has sustained her through even the most trying of times, allowing her to emerge stronger, more resilient, and more determined than ever before. In her music, she finds not only catharsis but also purpose—a beacon of light in a world too often shrouded in darkness.
“Music and my work have always saved me. They held out their hand and forced me to stand up even when I didn’t want to. I have always lived my private life totally separate from work. I have always said that I am not “a DJ”, but I “do” DJing.
“When I come home I’m Deborah, dogs, food, beach, friends. No gala with “special” friends, only people who do very normal jobs and the only thing that they know about the night is that it’s dark.
