DJ davalava
A product of the era of Myspace and Limewire, Kristen (aka DJ Davalava) is heavily influenced by the nostalgic music of her youth. She was born in Virginia, but she was raised on the West Coast and her music taste is as expansive as her roots from coast to coast. She has favorite songs in almost all genres, from hip-hop, R&B, indie, EDM, to metal.
Attending concerts and clubs in high school and college sparked her interest in DJing. As a teen, Kristen was caught sneaking back into her house after a night of going to a club just to watch the DJ from behind the decks. It wasn’t until years after college that she decided to truly learn to DJ, embodying the philosophy that it is never too late to pursue a dream. Currently, she is expanding her knowledge on old school hip-hop, funk, and turntableism, to retain the roots of hip hop culture in today's age.
She resides in San Jose where she graduated from San Jose State University. When she is not working her day job, you can catch her learning new scratches and juggles. Her goal as a DJ is to share her music discoveries with the world and capture feelings with music that words cannot articulate.
