Mixmag Changed Everything For Me (G33) & Girls Don't Sync

In this episode, I sit down with Gaia from Girls Don't Sync to talk about her journey from South London to becoming part of one of the most exciting names in dance music right now.

We get into what life looked like before everything took off, from studying acting at university and working random jobs, to discovering DJing and production and figuring out whether music could really become a career. Gaia also shares some of the early experiences and gigs that helped shape her, and how Girls Don’t Sync first came together before rapidly growing into the force they are today.

Alongside that, we talk about bringing her mixed heritage into her sets and sound, the realities of touring, releasing music, and learning how to balance creativity with the pressures of the industry. Gaia also opens up about being dyslexic, how it’s influenced the way she learns and creates, and why teaching DJing and supporting upcoming artists through community-focused events has become so important to her.

If you’re into DJing, production, dance music culture or the behind-the-scenes reality of building a creative career, this episode is packed with honest insight, real stories and plenty of practical advice.
