In Demand

One of Australia’s most in demand female DJs, Emily Scott is back in Brisbane later this month.

The internationally known DJ/ model has recently proven her talent by mixing club compilation ‘NOW Dance Summer 2012’, while Emily's latest EP, 'Boom Bau', has been released on Definitive Recordings. However, Emily has enjoyed music and performing since she was young. “Me and my little brother would always make up dance routines and perform them in front of the family. We would make little songs and have a boombox ... and we would record our tracks on there.”

Emily was inspired to become a DJ after working in a nightclub handling the lighting duties when she was 19. “The lighting area was up next to the DJ so every night I would be there controlling the lights, and I learnt how to make people feel differently with the types of light you use. So I was up there with the DJ watching how he would change the music and it would change the way people were dancing, and I just really got into dance music then.”

Not only is Emily a talented DJ, but her modelling career has taken off both at home and abroad, with the Canberra-born vixen known internationally as one of ‘The Sexiest Women in the World’. Aside from gracing the covers of glamour magazines, Emily has also appeared on Australia's ‘Dancing With The Stars’ as well as the latest season of British reality series, ‘I’m A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here’.

With an upcoming appearance at The Exchange, Emily says she’s looking forward to performing in Brisbane. “I always love playing in Brisbane. Being from the Gold Coast myself, when I was 18 it was a big special thing if we were driving up to Brisbane to go out clubbing. It's always got a special spot for me so I'm pumped.”
