Today we’d like to introduce you to Vrywvy.
Vrywvy, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
My journey began by simply loving music. Ever since I was little, I always remembered my dad playing music throughout the house. We used to travel a lot because of his job and he would always take my family and I on his work trips and it was mostly road trips. With all those trips the one thing I always needed to take with me was my music. My parents got me my first portable CD player (before apple music, Spotify and tidal were a thing haha) and that portable cd was like heaven to me, I would take a backpack full of CDs to all the road trips we’d take. It went from that for an mp3 player, then iPod, then iPhone. Music was just always with me, I started going to concerts really young like 12 and I was always so amazed by the DJs that came on before the artist to interact with the crowd and hype them up honestly. I was so amazed by the beauty in being able to control a room full of people with music, you’re able to control and shift the energy in a room. It was during high school i started getting more deeply with it, staying up til 3am on a school night digging for music and mixes on SoundCloud, then I started skipping lunch to watch youtube tutorials and boiler room sets. Eventually, my parents got me my first dj controller as a Christmas gift and from there everything just aligned. I went from doing local events to going out of town to work with brands like Under Armour, Microsoft, Netflix and Pharrell William’s creative collective I Am Other. Along all of this, I learned that the law of attraction is extremely real and manifesting is a beautiful thing,
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It definitely has not been a smooth road, but if it was easy, then everybody would do it. I’ve learned to overcome a lot, you battle personal things to like the anxiety that comes with being a creative which I learned is completely okay. There’s days where I get too in my head and start second guessing but I have to shrug that off and keep moving because if I don’t then, I will be stuck moving nowhere and being stagnant. Then there is other factors that first off I am a minority, I wasn’t even born in this country and second being a woman in a male-dominated industry, I use those to fuel my fire though, you learn to shift that and help you push through.
Vrywvy Productions – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
When I started my company I was afraid of where to start, should I just work in music, should I work in my lane and just branch out…. coming from Dallas we’re sort of taught to think we could only do one thing at once.
Ownership is important to me, so having Vrywvy Productions made sense from the jump. I could DJ, consult for brands, music supervise for other production companies. I could carve out any lane I wanted to, and hopefully, show other women in my field they could do the same.
What is “success” or “successful” for you?
Personally, to me, success is legacy. I want to be able to inspire girls and women that look like me. Girls that come from immigrant families and be able to look at me and say “wow I can do it too”. I want to make an impact in a bigger picture than people just viewing it as “just music” it’s deeper than that and its the universal language that can change lives.
