We had the good fortune of connecting with ASH D. and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi ASH D., how has your work-life balance changed over time?
Work-life balance has definitely been a defining and critical factor lately in my career/life. From mid-college (2017) to most recently, I wasn’t able to effectively identify a balance. Honing into the organization of my responsibilities and day-to-day agenda have actually played the biggest turning point into realizing I needed a balance. Growing and finally finding myself in my own freedom of life has showed me that I can’t both manage and be the creator so I’ve made it an essence to curate a balance. I am improving, day by day, brick to brick.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
It’s just intriguing to me that each opportunity I’ve had with Shoutout, I’ve introduced a new personality. So here I am again, as an emerging DJ– DJ Ash D….. I am successfully moving mountains. As of April 30th, 2022 I debuted at the Smoker’s Festival and to now, I am DJ’ing for celebrity artists that show me what it is to remain true to myself and being genuinely HUMBLED. There are no easy ways in, with anything you put yourself to. Music has always been an Rx for me, so being able to be on the creative side of it now comes fluently for me because I am PASSIONATE about it. I continue to learn day by day as I stick to the script… because there’s no way I can lose. What’s most special about this journey is being able to DJ side by my oldest sister and give the crowd what they never expected….to feel! I want the world to know, if there’s something that you’ve been wanting to do, the time is on you and nothing else. It’s YOURS, so go get it.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
It’s most critical that I take this time to Shoutout my newly partnered Mentor/Investor; Without the push and integrity behind that man, I wouldn’t be so close to my dedications. I want to Shoutout my father-figure/Uncle for keeping me grounded and reminding me of how much of a Lioness I am and to continue to stride fearlessly. Another Shoutout to my brother RJ the Don, a certified Music Engineer who has leveled me and put me into a position to learn, grow and indulge in such an erratic industry! It’s always love! Another one goes to my Oldest sibling, DJ DrummaGirl for accepting this journey of bringing changes to the Nations as we ride out this Duo Collective as vibe-curating DJ’s. The biggest one goes to my momma who supports the mission no matter what the cost is. AND if you’re reading this, SHOUTOUT to you!
