"Anyone who knows me knows that I don't play only a single electronic genre. I came from R&B, Blues, Pop, Rock and I've even singed country music. I came from playing at bars and restaurants, playing guitar, cajon and even pandeiro. I've had a rock band and I've dreamed of being a Rihanna. I'm not a fan of a specific musical genre, I'm a music lover".

Eclectic and with good dance floor reading, Daphne stands out in some of the largest clubs in the country by the setlist very well developed, which always maintains strong base of harmonic elements.
"One of the biggest gratifications of being on the program is manly to show to girls that you can be whatever you want, you can sing and be a DJ, you can play whatever you want. To be honest, I try not to create much expectation regarding my participation. I feel very glad to be in the next show’s faze, I'll be happy to be able to show more of what I am to the audience. The messages and affection I have received are what make me want to continue taking my work to reality. In addition, Brazilian electronic music needs this space!”, daphne points out.

There was a time when commercial electronics and underground electronics were two very different worlds. At the time, an artist who came from pop was not very welcome on the underground's stages. Alok has changed that reality a lot. Today, in the same line, we have artists with very different sounds, because the audience of electronic music is very mixed. This opened doors for more and more DJs to put their truth in music, regardless of strand. There will always be an audience for your work if it is done with love. On the same track there are people so different, but with the same passion for music, and they are there for the energy you transmit to them! The public's respect for electronic music for differences is simply magical! "daphne points out.
Life on the scene
"Being a DJ is addictive and more intense than anyone can imagine. It goes beyond a play, press buttons and the jog. To be a DJ is also to have feeling, it is to have love not only for music, but for people! And especially, to be a DJ is to know your track, even with different people in each of them. It's stepping on stage with the certainty that you've prepared your best to be there. I live all this in my head, I play and I give my body and soul into to it, “says the artist.
To finish the interview, Daphne promptly declares"I'll tell you something about the future of electronic music: this genre will take over the world!".
