DJ Eden is in a spin as success comes calling

PAISLEY ARTIST TAKING THE SCENE BY STORM

- TAYLOR MURRAY

A Paisley DJ who began mixing and learning to create music in her bedroom has gone from TikTok uploads to having her tracks played on some of the world’s biggest stages.

And she says music has been her lifeline through personal tragedy.

DJ Eden has been behind the decks for more than a decade - but it was the leap into creating her own music, collaborating with other artists and sharing it on TikTok that propelled her into the spotlight.

Eden's love affair with dance music began in her teens, but it wasn’t until the age of 36 that she decided to learn the craft herself.

Inspired after seeing DJs command the stage at the iconic Hangar 13 back in the 90s at Ayr Pavilion, she decided this was her calling.

She had her first taste of playing in front of a crowd when Glasgow’s DJ Zitkus was happy to let her to play at The Courtyard Bar in the city.

“My ex and I showed up networking with people in the scene and selling tickets,” she recalled.
