Today is apparently #ThankADanceTeacherDay and I need to give a huge thanks to my original mentor and the creator of my first real safe creative space, Jan Chandler, who saw the good in me despite the jerk in me, and turned me into the leader I am today. 20 years later, and I’m still teaching @menlodance because of and in honor of her. Love you always, Jan. Thankful for you and your family for being home for me, always. 🫶🏼 @courtneycchandler@brittanyachandler@tylerchandlergreen

Just celebrated one year with @cocomoofin and I just haaaaaad to share how much I love this lil sassy baby. She gets me moving in the mornings, she makes me laugh multiple times a day, and she makes me appreciate each moment we have together more and more daily. Thank you to @imps_norcal for everything they do to bring these beautiful babies new lives 🫶🏼 and for introducing me to my adopted baby.
SUNDAY 4/19 in Oakland: Join us for a day filled with music, creativity, and learning designed to help you take your DJ and Music Production skills to the next level while connecting with some of the Industry’s top DJs.
🎶 Why Sound Lab?
DJs are at the core of so many events, but what we realized was that these same working DJs don’t get as many opportunities to connect with one another outside of a gig to learn and/or enhance specific skills that are crucial to their long term success in the industry. So here it is - your chance to pick some brains, have those conversations you haven’t had time to have, and learn from your peers.
The day begins at 3pm with a Networking Half Hour - this is your time to come through and get to know a few other DJs in your community, as well as your instructors for the day. Or maybe you schedule that creative brainstorm with that one DJ you wanted to collaborate with? Either way, we encourage you to bring your business cards and/or branded stickers as well to share and connect.
At 3:30pm, we will officially kick off the Workshop portion of our day. For this round, we are happy to feature the following workshops one after another so that everyone can enjoy taking BOTH sessions - yay!
Session 1 - Learn music production techniques and explore a classic track breakdown and recreation with Matt “Kutcorners” Perry. @kutcorners
Session 2 -DJ Flow teaching us how execute Marketing with Purpose: this workshop is a 5-module framework designed to help DJs and creatives stop guessing and start posting with intention. @adjnamedflow@bysantosllc
As a part of your participation fee for the workshops, you will also walk away with a 6 month Serato Producer Suite voucher. That by itself covers your investment to participate!
At 6pm, all DJs are encouraged to participate in our Open Decks session. 🎶

I haven’t talked much about the FOOD part of my wellness journey, so I felt like I needed to take a moment to highlight that your girl has been cooooooking. I don’t take enough food photos, plus I can’t make the food look thaaaat good, BUT, I swear the flavors are there. And clearly, I love a good salad. I’ve been loving cooking more from home - it is therapeutic AF annnnd it’s been like learning a new art-form with endless options and variations.
Cheers to eating better and continuing to find easy recipes on the interwebs , because one of the few joys I get from socials nowadays is finding new recipes.
Have something you wanna recommend to me? Feel free to send me recipes! I’m (mostly) open to your ideas. 😆🙃🫶🏼
