COVER STORY B eing a female Dj, how it look like? Paroma : I feel quite proud that I have broken a lot of stereotypes, which were associated with DJing as a profession for girls initially. It was not easy in the start – with safety, career and income concerns arising from all sides. Also the fact that DJing was always considered a male dominated industry. However, I am proud to be a part of an era currently, where young talent is encouraged, irrespective of being a guy or a girl, and today women are as competent as men while performing gigs behind the console. I know of many women DJs who are doing so good, and can give the men a run for their money. 32 January 2019
