Check out now an exclusive interview with DJ Paola Gabardo:
1: Paola, how was the transition from your modeling career to DJing? What motivated you to explore this new field?
In fact, there was no transition; things happened naturally! I had a group of friends who were DJs, and I had been playing the piano since I was a child, so I started observing my friends playing and learned from them. At one of these parties, a prominent club owner saw me playing and invited me to join his network... and that's how it all began!
2: You mentioned your love for music since childhood. How has this passion influenced your journey as a model and now as a DJ?
Yes, my parents used to play loud music all the time (to the point of bothering the neighbors), they threw parties at home every weekend, and I grew up in that environment. Actually, I never pursued modeling jobs! I was always invited... since I was little. Even when I was called to participate in Miss contests when I lived abroad, I was surprised!
3: What were the biggest challenges you faced while balancing your modeling career?
I've been working since I was 16. When I started working in politics due to my family, I couldn't accept several modeling jobs, one of them being the invitation to participate in BBB 16 (Big Brother Brazil). I had to choose between a legal career or a public one.
4: You've had memorable moments at renowned events. Is there any particular one that stands out in your modeling career?
Certainly, Playboy! My dad used to buy the magazines, and I would see the covers of those women and think, "How beautiful!" And suddenly I worked with them, it was really cool.
5: How would you describe your personal style and how does it reflect both in your modeling and DJing careers?
Eclectic, I'm a jack of all trades haha! This allows me to work with various brands and in different niches, whether in the legal field, where I have my background, or in the artistic field.
6: What are your future plans and projects that you're most excited to share with your fans, both in fashion and music?
Soon, my music will be released, and I hope my audience will be happy about it, and maybe even an appearance on a tv serie. 😝
