According to:
"Described as “bringing afro beats to the world”, DJ Cuppy spoke to the magazine about her journey as an afro beats ambassador and being a woman in the music industry.
Read excerpts below.
On women who plan on getting into the music industry:
Talent and skill have no gender.
Anyone that’s trying to go into anything should have genuine passion for it.
My advice to any woman wishing to enter this industry is you need to get ready to work hard or go home.
All great things take hard work and when you are a woman, you have to work twice as hard to achieve half as much.
Hard work really means knowing your craft.
In my case, that meant taking off my acrylic nails and learning to scratch.
I even took a course at Scratch Academy in New York and made friends with fellow aspiring DJs.
Network is everything and when it comes to DJing, it’s no different.
Conjure up that courage and actually speak to or message the DJs you loves.
It’s great to shadow someone or even go to gigs.
Yes, many late nights, but the hustle will be so worth it when it’s your turn."
