This week I’m joined by DJ Nikki Beatnik, Nikki is a DJ Producer, Vlogger and Mum. She has Dj’d in over 60 countries. She has been named the best DJ in the UK by Time Out. She has an incredible client list that includes Kanye West, Jay Z, Diddy, Mariah Carey, Cannes Film Festival, Adidas and she’s currently Kelis tour DJ. In today’s episode, we talk about motherhood and the challenges she faces being a mother and a DJ. We cover how she juggles touring with childcare. We talk about the impact motherhood has on your pay and why society needs to do better for mothers. We find out what Nikki does to overcome her guilt. It’s a refreshing take I’m sure you’ll love it.


How lovely was that! I hope that the mothers listening and you future mums take something away from this episode. You can follow Nikki on Twitter @djnikkibeatnik you check out her sets on Youtube under Beatnik. On Wednesday we cover getting started as a DJ, whether we should use labels like ‘female DJ’ and what to do when you enter a male-dominated space.


Don’t forget Wanna Be is going Live for the 1st time on June 2nd and it won’t be any regular live show. Prisca and have created an afternoon masterclass to help you level up your career, finance and brand. Get tickets at wannabelive.eventbrite.co.uk
