- "Just be obsessed with music. Love it." The beloved London artist gives a masterclass on how to make it as a DJ and build a sustainable career.
- Alice Moxom—better known by her stage name, Moxie—started out as a radio DJ on Kiss FM and NTS before playing parties and touring full-time. She now curates a label and party series called On Loop, which has invited artists like Matthew Herbert, Josey Rebelle, Leon Vynehall, K-Hand and Joy Orbison, in venues across Europe and the UK. The key to her success, she says, is not rushing anything in her career. "Your sound can evolve and you can change," she says. "If you're thinking about this as a real career, the [opportunities] will always come around."
In this episode of Resident Advisor's Exchange—the second in a three-part masterclass series called Future Proof, a collaboration with Rhythm Section—co-host Bradley Zero describes Moxie as "one of the most organized and graceful DJs on the circuit." During their chat, she reveals how she steadily built a career from the ground up; how she developed a synergistic relationship with her booking agent; selectively chosen gigs and mix opportunities; maneuvered stylistically without confusing promoters and cultivated lasting relationships with a team of people she trusts. Listen to the episode in full.
This conversation was recorded live in December, and you can watch a video of the talk on YouTube. For more masterclasses, check the full programme here.
