In honor of Women’s History Month, Walmart Radio is thrilled to shine the spotlight on one of our incredibly talented associates, Dominique Washington, better known as DJ Dribblz! This Pensacola, Florida native is making waves in the DJ world, proving that passion and skill know no bounds.
From Basketball to Beats
Dribblz's journey is a testament to the power of pursuing your dreams. While basketball was a significant part of her life, her true passion always lay in music. She describes music as something that deeply moves her, a sentiment she shares with her audiences. What started as creating playlists for friends and ensuring everyone enjoyed the moment blossomed into a full-fledged career as a DJ. She started her DJ business in 2018, and since then, she's been captivating crowds at events ranging from birthday parties to school dances.
A Pioneer in the Field
Dribblz recognizes the challenges faced by women in the DJ industry, but she's determined to be a pioneer, carving her own path and earning her place. She views DJing as the perfect blend of her love for music and her background in computer science, describing herself as a gamer and a "geeky person." Her unique perspective and dedication are shaping her into a truly distinctive DJ.
More Than Just a DJ
Dribblz's commitment extends beyond the music. She focuses on creating a positive and inclusive atmosphere for her audiences, emphasizing community engagement in her work. She sees her role as more than just playing music; she's a curator of experiences, ensuring that every event is memorable. She's not just pushing buttons; she's building connections and creating lasting memories.
The Future is Now
Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Dribblz persevered, adapting to virtual events and socially distanced gatherings. She views her current success as just the beginning of her journey, with big dreams for the future. Her story is an inspiration to us all, a reminder that with passion, dedication, and a little bit of "dribbling beats," anything is possible.
