Victoria Van Damn
DJ WORK
For the last decade, Victoria has uplifted the nightlife with a deep selection of Indie Dance, House, Hip-Hop, Rock, Future House, EDM, Bass and World Music. Current clients include Rihanna, Sony Latin, Leo Burnett, Louis Vuitton, Cassina, XS.
As a true believer in the pursuit of happiness, Victoria refused to submit to typical life. Naturally, a career in music with challenging odds had a very appealing feel to her. Her understanding of music theory, chord progressions, keys, and time signatures allows her to create energetically; fun DJ sets moving through different bpms and genres that take the crowd with her wherever she wants to go.
Three years after embarking on her turntable odyssey, Victoria was voted one of the five best DJs in Phoenix by the Arizona Republic. Since moving to Los Angeles, she's been featured in the local and national press like LA Weekly, Angeleno, Fusicology, Metromix, New Times, and 944 Magazine.
Victoria performs at eclectic and mainstream venues and events everywhere, from the XS and Surrender in Vegas to touring with Jack Daniels.
