Rochester’s own DJ Shum is making a name for herself in the music industry with her positive energy and passion for music. “Music has always been my world. I want to make music and share the positive vibes with everyone,” says DJ Shum, who recently started her music career and is already making a big impact.
DJ Shum’s goal is to DJ full-time and share her music with as many people as possible. She dreams of playing at a large venue where everyone is vibing on the same wavelength as her. Her music’s ability to move people and create a shared experience is what makes DJ Shum stand out in the competitive world of DJing. Her upbeat and high-energy mixes have a unique ability to bring people together and create a sense of unity on the dance floor. Her positive vibes and infectious personality also make her a hit with audiences, and she has quickly amassed a loyal fan base.
One of DJ Shum’s proudest accomplishments is finally believing in herself and pursuing her passion. Overcoming her hardest obstacle of taking a leap of faith into DJing and leaving a toxic relationship, DJ Shum is now focused on making her music her top priority.
After listening to DJ Shum’s music, she wants people to feel a sense of belonging and spread hope and inspiration. DJ Shum has new music and mixes on the horizon and is currently collaborating with Kosha Dillz for a show in Rochester, NY, on March 22nd.
While DJ Shum is currently an independent artist, she looks forward to signing with a record label in the near future. Her biggest inspiration comes from her two brothers who are also DJs in Canada.
On a typical day, DJ Shum works at the hospital on scheduled days, but on her days off, she hones her DJ skills and networks online. She also makes time to train and lift weights with a personal trainer three to four times a week. She is a member of the Title Boxing gym in Rochester and the 9 Round gym in Toronto. As an active member of these gyms, DJ Shum trains rigorously and maintains her physical fitness to excel in the ring. Despite her success as a DJ, she is equally passionate about boxing and strives to become a better boxer every day.
In addition to her music, DJ Shum is competing in Inked Magazine’s 2023 cover girl challenge and currently holds the third-place spot in Rochester. Voting for DJ Shum is open online and free once daily, with all proceeds benefiting MusiCares, a foundation helping struggling musicians.
