Just DJ
“My name is Djalma. I was born in Harrow, London but I grew up in Brazil until i was 9 in the favela’s of Brasilia. my friends couldn’t pronounce my name so they called me DJ.
Funny thing is my name literally means DJ soul and I really love music. I played drums for about 6 years as a teen and that’s when I found my love for drum and bass, which took me into DJing and modelling.”
