The entertainment industry is a hard industry to break into, but once you have successfully entered, you can expect to be a force to be reckoned with. Boston Chery is a Dj, director, socialite, and event planner from Boston, Mas. She currently resides in Brownsville, Brooklyn, NY, and she’s taking this city by storm with her Dj’ng and videography! At 22 years old, she has already dj’d with radio stations Hot 97, and Power 105.1. She has also been featured on blogs and websites such as The Fader, Mass Appeal, The Source, and has worked with celebrities such as Diddy, Dame Dash, and Russell Simmons. She currently Dj’s at PNC radio, while doing her own freelance work simultaneously.
I have recently had the chance to interview this busy lady about her musical interests, and exciting business ventures! Check it out below!

I lovee lovee Quentin Tarantino. His movies always have me glued from beginning to end, its always a surprise and never predictable to what the characters are going to do next.

In 5-10 years I see myself continuing as a radio dj, touring and breaking artist, and as directing I see myself shooting music videos for mainstream artist and doing short stories.

The best advice would be to realize that you are your only competition. Don’t hold back from being your best self, focus on your craft, network, build, learn, keep learning.
