Meet Tiffany Karam | DJ/Producer/Curator

We had the good fortune of connecting with Tiffany Karam and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tiffany, can you share a quote or affirmation with us?
Master your craft. Be nice and stay humble.

I have always kept this quote at the forefront of my mind when doing anything. No matter how many years of experience mastering your craft – it is SO important to remain humble because that is what has opened up doors for me and has allowed me to connect with individuals from all over the world.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I have had a love for music since the age of 12 when I learned how to play piano. Being able to hit those keys and create sounds really opened up my eyes and ears to the beauty of music. I was also always that friend that would make you curated CDs, playlists and tapes as gifts all the time. Fast forward to college, I started going out with some friends to some local underground house music parties and I fell in love with house music. I knew that I wanted and needed to connect with this type of music further and decided to buy my own controller and teach myself how to DJ. It started out with FB lives > putting myself out there with mixes on SoundCloud> meeting different promoters in the music scene who were throwing amazing parties > authentically and genuinely creating connections with other music lovers and party throwers> getting booked by those promoters, DJ’s/Producers> finding my sound and taking it to the next level with production > playing domestic and international shows >>> all got me to where I am at now.

A big drive to continue to grow and learn from music is that I want to connect with individuals all over the world through music. Whether that is the music I play out at gigs, recorded sets or the music that I produce and put out for people to listen to. Nothing makes my days and nights more than meeting people during and after my sets that let me know they enjoyed it and look forward to seeing me play again. My goal is to always stay authentic, humble, and true to myself and my sound. I always am looking for ways to grow and to continue to provide meaningful music experiences every chance I get.

The most rewarding aspect about being a DJ is connecting with different people. I have made so many meaningful connections the last 8 years and have also gained best friends from the music industry. I love hearing about where people are from, what brought them to an event I am playing at, and staying in touch in the future.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would definitely take them to East Atlanta, Edgewood, Little 5 Points, Decatur Square, and Midtown. Those are areas that I really enjoy going to personally so if any guest was to come visit, Id make sure to take them there. A few of my favorite places in those areas are the following:
Banshee
Argosy
Bon Ton
Babs
Midcity
Fishmonger
Whoopsies
Sweet Auburn BBQ
Porter Beer Bar
Criminal Records
Underground Atlanta

just to name a few!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Shoutout to my traveling times as a younger person to the Middle East and Europe. It was there that I was exposed to house music for the first time and I owe it to those experiences for introducing me to the genre and ultimately leading me to where I am today.
