Just DJ
βMy name is Djalma. I was born in Harrow, London but I grew up in Brazil until i was 9 in the favelaβs of Brasilia. my friends couldnβt 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 thatβs when I found my love for drum and bass, which took me into DJing and modelling.β
