Hello friends. We have all been so saddened by the loss of life and destruction caused by last week's floods in central Texas. My heart goes out to all of those experiencing loss right now. Austin-based DJ/sound curator, composer/producer, pianist, educator, speaker, all-around creative, and winner of "Best DJ" in the 2025 Austin Music Awards, DJ Cassandra is my guest for episode 1502! We have a really inspiring conversation about her journey of empowerment, growing up in Texas and London, getting her degree in music composition from U.T. and playing their graduation to tens of thousands of people in May, recording with Ben Kweller, playing ACL Fest 2024, the power of "the playlist", morning dance parties, taking charge of her life and turning it around, being one of Austin's most eligible singles, Bio Medical Music Solutions, her app Picardy, bringing the party everywhere she goes, and much more. Find her at soundsbycassandra.com I had a great time getting to know Cassandra, I'm sure you will too. Let's get down!
