Blossom is Ready to Go HARD: London-born, Phoenix-raised DJ and producer Blossom  became inspired to be a DJ during her college years.“I ended up taking a three month DJ and production course at a school in L.A. called Dubspot (RIP) in between semesters at ASU,” she says. “By the end of the summer, I entered a local Arizona DJ competition to perform at a festival called Global Dance Festival… and I made top 15! Though I didn’t win the competition, I was asked to perform on the local stage, and from there the opportunities to perform locally started rolling in.

I genuinely believe streaming was an ess...
