✨ Small wins, big wins… and moments that make all the hard work worthwhile! ❤️
A couple of years ago, I had an idea to bring motherhood and DJing to the forefront of the conversation in electronic music.
With the support of @brightonmusicconference, that idea became a reality at BMC 2025. I then took the conversation to @wedj.show, this year we brought fathers into the discussion at BMC, and now… we’re taking it to ADE! 🇳🇱🔥
But the first picture feels like a particularly BIG win. @carlloben3000 excitedly told me that my work has inspired the @amelie_lens cover feature on @djmagofficial . What a moment!
The photo with the copy of the mag was taken at the brilliant @changethebeatofficial event last week in London @fabriclondonofficial, organised by @djsydneyblu - another incredible woman championing change in music. Brave to all of you involved in this event!
Also pictured are fellow mothers and changemakers @justhermusic and @samkparsley from @inthekeyofficial, who’ve been helping to push this conversation forward all the way. And a big shout out to an inspiration and motherhood in music ambassador @djlisaloud ❤️
We’re making change together. And it’s wonderful to see the fruits of all that hard work, persistence and not letting go of an idea! ❤️
🎤 NEXT STOP: @amsterdamdanceevent !
THE PARENTHOOD PENALTY panel
@📍 Felix Meritis, Amsterdam 📅 Friday 23 October 2026 - 4:15 - 5pm
I’ll be moderating the conversation with two brilliant women:
🎧 @julietfox – DJ, producer and mother, sharing her perspective on balancing an international artist career with parenthood.
🎛️ @keleighjonelle – AlphaTheta, bringing the perspective of a mother working within the music industry.
We’ll explore the realities of parenting in electronic music, the challenges, the inequalities and, most importantly, what we can actually do to make things better.
Because conversations matter. But turning them into change matters even more. ❤️

Was in the parenting panel at ADE - as a dad of two building a music life in Berlin, it hit home. Thank you for making this topic visible in the industry 🙏
