DJ Aloona

Alena, how did your DJ career begin and what inspired you to choose this path? What obstacles did you have to overcome on the path to success?
My DJ career began with a deep-seated passion for music ignited at a young age. During a family vacation, at just six years old, I was captivated by the melodies drifting from a nearby café. This chance encounter sparked a lifelong love affair with music. With determination, I convinced my parents to investigate further, leading to the acquisition of three cassette tapes that became the cornerstone of my burgeoning music collection. As technology advanced, so did my musical journey. From cassette tapes to CDs, I embraced each evolution with enthusiasm, always ahead of the curve with my eclectic selection. Sharing my musical discoveries with friends became a ritual, mastering the art of copying and sharing music—a skill that would shape my future endeavors.
However, tragedy struck in 2009 with the sudden loss of my mother in a devastating car accident. Amidst the darkness, a ray of light emerged in the form of a heartfelt gesture from a dear friend. Sensing my need for solace, my friend proposed a new path—a journey into the world of DJing, where music became both solace and expression.
With courage and determination, I enrolled in Moscow’s premier DJ school, immersing myself in the craft with unwavering dedication. What began as a means of healing soon blossomed into a full-fledged passion, as I honed my skills behind the decks and embraced the electrifying energy of the dance floor.
Driven by a desire to share my love for music with the world, I began playing in Moscow clubs, captivating audiences with my infectious energy and impeccable taste. My talent soon caught the attention of industry insiders, paving the way for international acclaim and recognition.
