From L.A.’s club scene to Coachella’s bohemian wonderland, DJ Mija is making some serious waves. The Phoenix native first made waves in 2014 after slaying a coveted set with Skrillex at the Bonnaroo music festival.
She’s since established herself as a dynamic fixture in the electronic music world, dropping original tracks and skyrocketing to levels of notoriety often unseen by women in the dude-dominated DJ universe. Female DJs are still too far and few between. Plus, her signature sea foam hair definitely helps her stand out.
Though she says that she’s encountered sexist doubts about her talent as a producer, Mija seems unfazed by industry bias. Even her stage name represents her resilience — the nickname was first given to her by a cheating ex. She broke up with him, pocketed the catchy moniker, moved to L.A., and has been dominating ever since.
Isn't living successfully the best revenge?
