Brittany Sky is More Than Just a DJ

From owning it as a female DJ, to finding YouTube fame and starting fashion trends with her street style and curated kicks, Brittany Sky lets her creative side fuel her fire. We had the chance to talk to this triple threat about her passions and how she wants to give back to the younger generation.

Brittany, tell us about your passions! From being a DJ and the lead lady in Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Poetic Justice’ video, to crafting beauty content on YouTube and maintaining a loyal Instagram following. How would you define yourself as a creative?

Everything starts with music. It’s my biggest passion and a fundamental part of my life. My childhood played an unexpected role in my love for music. I realized how much I loved music from such a young age and in some sort of way, I kind of manifested my passions for myself. I would sneak into my Mom’s room to listen to some of her tapes…my Dad also always had a passion for music and style.

How do you hope to inspire the youth and other creatives with your work and journey?

I feel as though I’ve reached a little bit of a plateau with DJing and although I love it so much and I always will, I’m more excited about making my own music as well as mentoring a younger generation. Whether it’s guiding them through brand deals or giving them the ins and the outs of the industry, I want to be a helping hand.

The most fulfilling work I’ve done have been the ones where I’ve been able to help others within the industry and be the mentor I wish I had growing up. I have much more to offer than content creation and playing at a party one time. I want to mentor younger creatives, deliver performances with impactful energy, and ultimately give back.

We know that you’re passionate about philanthropy. What are some causes you support and working towards making a difference in right now?

I’ve been investing my time into promoting female empowerment and I’m looking for ways to give back to women within my community.

For International Women’s Day, I partnered with the brand Jordan and the non-profit, We Are Light Work to organize a women’s workout and give back. I encouraged my friends who came to donate unused products/ money to the organization. I recently volunteered at the Boys and Girls Club of Downtown LA, hosting a DJ workshop for underprivileged kids.

My biggest advice to these kids is if they have an industry they’re interested in, find a way to get involved. I wish I did more internships so I could get more hands on experience and immerse myself within the industry sooner.

What goals do you have for the year of 2020?

My goal this year is to get involved with my community, whether it be hosting charity events, supporting the younger generation, or even piggy backing off of some of my friends events at least once a month.
