PhDJ Graduate + Lead Coach

Director + Performance Coach


What are the 3 biggest key learnings from PhDJ?

Hard skills are applied to a deeper expression of who I am and my gifts.

My sensitivity is my superpower.

The world needs me.

What has your experience in PhDJ been like?

It’s been a comfort and a climb. Life-rocking and learning in an embodied way is my jam!! And my butter and my toast!! I felt very present for the experience. I needed this. A chance for my entire system to be attended to, within periods of BIG transformation. With coaches who support and inspire me to create and a student body that feels like my closest friends plus assignments that delight and ignite my DJ FIRE!!

How would you describe PhDJ to someone who doesn't know about it?

It’s a concentrated study in opening up every channel you have to music and letting the wisdom of your body bring you into total union with DJing. It’s seven months for your soul. Yes, you will learn and get better at DJing. Guaranteed. AND you will also move through your hidden fears and express your juiciest desires. There are no barriers to what you can create in this container.

The pre-requisite for this course is YOU, exactly how you are.

What shifts in your life have you observed from the work we did in PhDJ?

Everything shifted when I tuned into my nervous system and got real about what lights me up and propels me forward. My communication is better and so are my relationships. I pay attention to my body and how it feels and what it wants. And I practice not moving faster than I can feel. And I am intimately connected now to a group of incredible folx with a shared language and vision, a magical DJ collective.

What are you most excited about for what's next for you?

I am very excited for my upcoming gigs! This year, I am Djing at Boom Festival in Portugal in July, and in November I am Djing on Michael Franti's music cruise: Soulshine at Sea. I am also excited to curate and offer dance parties in Los Angeles, my home base.

What would you tell someone who is interested in PhDJ?

PhDJ is a deep dive into the art of Djing and facilitating incredible dance parties. The course is holistic and will address any limitations or blocks that prevent us from expressing our authentic power in the world. PhDJ will strengthen your abilities as a DJ and performer and will provide you with the tools you need to show up as a trusted leader in your community.

Shoshi’s Mixes

My intention for this mix was to include music that I feel holds space for people to be in their vision center and to see how much bigger the realm of possibility is...

I wanted it to be filled with inspiring dance explosions.

Starting the set with a meditative drone to invoke the vision center and then adding the beat of "heart mind", which instructs us to keep resting the mind in the heart, felt like where to ground it all.

The journey starts at 77 bpms and peaks at 126 and with moments of titration between booty bass drops. Overall, it's a dance of celebration with dreams of a bright, expansive future.
