SPEAKER TOPIC
MIXING KIDS & MUSIC: CAN PARENTS THRIVE (NOT JUST SURVIVE) IN DANCE MUSIC?
Following the success of the Motherhood & DJing panel, this next chapter at BMC expands the conversation to parenting in the music industry. Bringing both female and male perspectives into focus. Moderated by Mini Da Minx, the panel features DJ Shanaz, Just Her, Phil Hartnoll and Shillin’, who will explore the realities of raising children while sustaining careers in the fast-paced world of dance music; from touring schedules and late nights to identity, balance, and evolving priorities.
Through honest and engaging discussion, the panelists will share their lived experiences of navigating parenthood alongside creative careers, highlighting both the challenges and opportunities that come with it. Together, they’ll tackle a vital question: can parents truly thrive in this industry... not just survive? This session aims to inspire, open dialogue, and help shape a more supportive and inclusive future for parents across the music scene.
