We recently connected with Anna Farfan and have shared our conversation below.
Anna, appreciate you joining us today. Can you tell us about a time that your work has been misunderstood? Why do you think it happened and did any interesting insights emerge from the experience?
Being a female DJ in this industry is something that has it pros and cons. When I first stepped into the scene people used to underestimate me thinking that I couldn’t possibly handle the intensity of being a DJ but I was determined to prove them wrong.
As I continued raising in the scene I knew that my music spoke louder than any stereotypes or misunderstandings. Gender is not a barrier to success in anything that you what to achieve. As cliché as it sounds you just have to believe in yourself and everything will come to you progressively.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Hello you all, I’m Anna, I was born and raised in Venezuelabut I’m currently based in Las Vegas, NV.
I started my music journey professionally in Miami at Shyft Academy where I took classes from the most talented artists such as Tony Guerra & Differ who taught me not only about mixing but to gain confidence and give a flawless performance. As time went by I joined his agency’s roaster.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
I have a million goals to achieve as an artist but I will say that most of the important ones would be to inspire others to believe in themselves to gain that confidence to prove everyone wrong, no matter if you’re a man or woman, if you have talent, it will show.
To take my music to every corner in the world, my main genre it’s Techno so my style it’s not for everybody but my mission is to break that barrier progressively and make people understand it.
I can be sure that people that remember me it’s because I gave them a performance that told a history that somehow made them feel something different, something that they will remember forever (or at least that’s what they told me haha).
What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?
Support your local artists, make the right people known, choose wisely. Show up, share their content, like it, comment, as unfair as it sounds networking it’s one of the most important things nowadays if you want to get where you want to be.
But most importantly enjoy the music, live the moment, do not “live it” trough your phone, be there.
