Ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls, meet Tiff Cornish.

Aussie DJ, Tiff Cornish has been lighting up dance floors with her love for techno, house, tech-house and disco since 2013. Bringing her glittery mixes out as a support act for the likes of Hot Dub Time Machine, Motez, SAFIA, Marshmello(US) and Hayden James.

How did it all start for you?

Music has always been a huge part of my life.

Dabbling in singing, clarinet and piano from a young age, the magic of sound has always captured my interest and heart.

When I was 18 I started going to nightclubs and, one evening, I saw a female DJ playing some amazing house. She made me stop and really listen to dance music. I was totally captivated by the sound and feeling. Hooked on this music and the adrenalin, I knew I wanted to be that girl one day making others feel the way I did. And from there I just went for it.

Who’s your muse in the music world?

My muse is constantly changing!

At the moment I am really drawn to artists like Tourist, Hayden James, KiNK, Freya Ridings, Lane 8 and George Fitzgerald.

How would you describe the dance scene in Melbourne?

Melbourne has to be one of the best places in the world for a party and coffee the next day…

From the underground artists, the international superstars and undeniably talented locals, the hardest part of every weekend or weeknight is trying to choose or, as I like to, “party split” between the many unique events and experiences that lie within the night and sunny days.

What is your advice to emerging talent and, how they can set aside any fears and pursue their dreams with courage?

Playing music is all about having fun and creating the most enjoyable atmosphere. I think people (myself included) from time to time put so much pressure on a certain kind of set and sound… we forget why we all started spinning records, going out with our mates and working that extra shift to pay for that ticket to see that DJ. To have fun and enjoy life!

The only fear you should have is: if you don’t at least try you will miss out.

Things aren’t always going to be easy, however, set some goals and keep pursuing your dreams. Oh and one big one – surround yourself with good people along the way because they make the ride worthwhile.
