Rave live session : Gemza

Gemza
Growing up in a family of passionate musicians, music was an integral part of Gemza’s
life from early on. Being influenced by rock, pop and R n’ B in her childhood and
teenage years, it wasn’t until her early 20s that Gemza was fully introduced to the world
of electronic music. To her, it was like the final missing piece of the puzzle was
discovered. Around that time Prishtina’s electronic music scene was fully thriving again,
with clubs and promoters brining some of the world’s most influential DJs to perform in
the capital city. No doubt this was an important factor which influenced Gemza to
discover and pursue her passion. Going to these parties was like going to school. There
she had the chance to learn about the many styles of electronic music, about selection
and mixing alike. She felt a close connection to the scene, which added to her inherent
adoration for the genre. This led to the urge to give DJing a go herself. While at first she
was hesitant to make that leap in her life, a few encouraging self-affirmations and
Gemza fell even deeper in love with the art and has since been playing music steadily
at various venues and events in Kosovo and abroad.
