2 weeks til we return home!!

Idk if anyone else feels this way, but every single feels SO different and unique and special. For instance…

2015 👉 my first festival & my first EDC. The catalyst that started this whole content journey.

2016 👉 an unforgettable group of old friends & new ones we met the year before! My first Prydz experience. Basspod caught on fire 🔥

2017 👉 the musicccc. Illenium at cosmic meadow. The upside down house!! Kinetic Gaia. I’ll never forget 🥹

2018 👉 seven lions circuit grounds set during the fireworks. Enough said 🫠

2019 👉 my first major meetup at edc BLEW ME AWAY. I’ll never get over that night and the people I met 🩷 it truly made me realize the impact of what I get to do with my content. Also i_o’s circuit grounds set 😭

2020…welp

2021 👉 the return of EDC in October. What a special moment for dance music and for fans to reunite once again. It was also my first camp experience and I loved it!

2022 👉 I booked my dream job hosting the EDC livestream with 🥳 a dream come true. Seeing Prydz front and center was also iconic 6 years after first seeing him at EDC.

And now 2024…

Boy do we have things in store for you 😄

I get to attend with to bring the party to Vegas with SO many fun surprises!! 👀

I’ll be back with insomniac radio 😇

And I’m hosting my first ever meet up at the luxxe pop up shop Friday at 11am!! 🎉
