On this episode of To Be Clear, hosts Dawn Montgomery and Freddie B TV sit down with Grammy Award-winning DJ, producer, and creative visionary DJ Miss Milan! She’s the mastermind behind Doechii’s electrifying live sets, co-produced 'Boom Bap' on her Grammy-winning album Alligator Bites Don't Heal, and she’s held it down on the airwaves with residencies on Hot 97 and SiriusXM. DJ Miss Milan aka The Fairy Vibe Mother herself is known for curating energy at the intersection of club culture, Black girl magic, and global soundscapes. They dive deep into the Clipse’s viral Tiny Desk concert, unpack the legacy of Neptunes-era production, and explore how Milan’s Caribbean roots and NYC upbringing shaped her sound—from soca to Jersey club to futuristic bass. Miss Milan also shares her take on Doechii’s genre-bending live sets, how she builds her own mixes, and what not to request when she's spinning. From Doechii's live sets to her creative process, handling song requests, and the best events she's ever DJed. Tune in for a deep dive into the world of The Fairy Vibe Mother! With stories about the best parties she’s ever DJed, her dream events, and how she maintains her creative flow behind the booth, this episode is a must-watch for fans of female DJs, Gen Z nightlife, and the women shaping the next wave of global dance culture. Known for spinning for artists like Doechii and blessing festivals like Essence Fest, Miss Milan reflects on how her Caribbean-American upbringing, Brooklyn’s evolving soundscape, and early musical influences shaped her unique sonic signature.
