A 69 Year old DJ…

12th March 2010 (0 Comments)

Whoever said life begins at 40 was WRONG… well at least in the case of this crazy lady. Ruth Flowers, is a 69-year-old, very sought after, hip English deejay in Paris. She is an unusual and charismatic woman who has redefined the “DJ Image” worldwide. Nice and eccentric, strong and full of energy, she likes to have fun and to bring everyone in her wake. While preparing the launching of her electro-rock EP “MamyRock”, you will meet her performing at the Cannes Film Festival most private partys at la villa MURANO.

When interviewed recently by CBS she said “I have had a very lively youth, I used to go to balls all the time, I loved to dance, but then came the old age, pension, but above all boredom… I started looking for something more…
One night, my grandson, of whom I’m very close to, celebrated his birthday in a nightclub in London. And he told me that I could join them. When I arrived, the bouncers didn’t let me go inside. It is true that I didn’t really match their usual clients (laughs)… I finely managed to enter… and I was dumbfound…there was such an atmosphere!!! It was so different from the parties I used to go when I was young. There was a real osmosis between the lights and the music, it really drove me!… It made me feel so much younger!”

that night shattered her view of things but above all the way she saw life… ” I had a lot of free time, I was on pension you know… I talked to my grandson about it, he thought I went mad. Then he introduced me to a friend of his, a young French director and producer. We got along from the very beginning and he, with the help of his team, offered to help me becoming a DJ, working on a track, building an image etc… It was really fun!! Now I think that I am ready to make everybody move their ass on the dancefloor (laughs)….indeed, I’d rather sign a contract with a record company than to sign up for the nursing home… ! ”

We just think that is one dope Gran! …. we will keep you posted if she comes to SA…

Peace.
