For DJ LIKZY, music isn’t just a passion — it’s a passport to the world.
As an aspiring DJ with a love for drum and bass (DnB), they’ve built their
journey on an unshakable dream: to explore the globe, connect with
different cultures, and share their sound with audiences worldwide.
Discovering the Beat
Hailing from Birmingham, DJ LIKZY fell in love with music at a
young age, but it was the pulsating energy of DnB that struck a deeper
chord. “There’s something about the rhythm and power of DnB — it’s like
it speaks directly to your soul,” they share. Armed with little more than
free DJ software and a second-hand controller, DJ LIKZY began
practicing tirelessly in their bedroom, learning the art of mixing and
crafting a signature style.
From Bedroom DJ to the Local Scene
The first gigs were humble — house parties, small venues, and open mic
nights. But DJ LIKZY treated every set as a performance worth
remembering. “Even if it’s 20 people in a room, they deserve to feel the
energy of the music,” they explain. With each show, their skills
sharpened, and their confidence grew. Slowly but surely, the local scene
began to take notice.
A World Beyond the Decks
While DJing offered a creative outlet, it also sparked a deeper ambition:
to travel the world and explore how different cultures embrace music.
“Music is universal, but every country has its own vibe, its own way of
expressing sound. I want to immerse myself in that energy and share my
music in return,” DJ LIKZY says.
From the legendary underground clubs of Berlin to the vibrant street
parties of Brazil, DJ LIKZY dreams of performing in places where
music serves as a bridge between people. Southeast Asia’s rising DnB
scene, the UK’s iconic jungle roots, and the Afrobeat-DnB fusions in
Africa are all on their bucket list.
Challenges on the Road to Global DJing
The journey hasn’t been without its hurdles. Financial constraints,
balancing work and practice, and the competitive nature of the DJ scene
are all challenges that DJ LIKZY has faced head-on. “There were
moments I doubted myself, but I always remind myself why I started —
because music is my way of connecting with the world.”
The Next Chapter
Now, DJ LIKZY is focused on refining their craft and expanding their
reach. They’ve begun producing original tracks, blending DnB with
global influences to create a sound that’s uniquely theirs. “My goal is to
build a set that feels like a journey — one that takes you from soulful
melodies to raw, high-energy drops, with influences from all over the
world.” Looking ahead, DJ LIKZY envisions a career where they can perform
at festivals like Let It Roll or Sun and Bass, collaborate with DJs and
producers across the globe, and inspire others to chase their dreams.
