Episode 26: How to Make the Most Out of the Music with DJ Rosamii

DJ Rosamii—DJ, community builder, and founder of Bloom Haus Creative Group—found her calling through rebellion and rediscovery.

Moving to Memphis in 2020, she stumbled into the local music scene while DJing for a boyfriend's show, quickly realizing she'd been hiding her true musical tastes from strict parents who wanted her to be a doctor or lawyer. What started as sneaking hip-hop past parental censors evolved into a full embrace of house and electronic music that made her want to dance all night in her room.

Her confidence came from teenage angst and refusing to accept how people treated her—deciding early on to instill self-worth she couldn't ask others to provide. Now she reads crowds like a psychic, eavesdropping on conversations to sense the energy, building Memphis' most supportive DJ community while dreaming of creating touring black electronic festivals that reclaim the space her community originally built.

We talk about hiding raunchy music and "coming out of the DJ closet," developing confidence through fucking up a lot and learning good poker face, how she wings every set by feeling what songs want her to do with them, staring at other DJs' boards at shows preparing for the day she'd have to figure them out, finding incredible remixes on TikTok and connecting with producers worldwide, why DJs are the most supportive artist community, her dream of touring black electronic festivals because "black house matters," and how being an artist means life is fulfilling even when you don't make much money—because maybe she just likes to chill.
