Lily Tran
DJ | MC | Singer | Dancer | Audio Engineer
After being introduced to DJing by a close friend in 2011, Lily knew she had found her calling. Over the next several years, she immersed herself in every aspect of music, determined to turn her passion into a career.
While saving up for her first pair of classic Technics 1200 turntables and a professional DJ mixer, Lily expanded her skills by learning music production, co-founding a band, and stepping into the role of lead vocalist. Her curiosity about the industry eventually led her to become the Executive Assistant to the CEO of Monster Cable, where she gained a unique behind-the-scenes perspective on the intersection of music, technology, and business.
That experience opened doors to invaluable opportunities and allowed her to cross paths with some of music’s most influential artists, including Dr. Dre, Xzibit, TLC, Swizz Beatz, Stevie Wonder, George Benson, and Earth, Wind & Fire. These experiences helped shape Lily’s artistic vision and deepened her commitment to building a career rooted in creativity, connection, and a lifelong love of music.
