Opening For Alicia Keys - RSA Conference 2024

August 05, 2024  /  DJ Kara

I opened for Alicia Keys. What?!?!?

Female DJ Los Angeles

I honestly still can't believe I did that. But this past year in May, I got to be a part of the huge RSA securities conference in San Francisco. And they had me DJ to get the crowd pumped for yes, Alicia Keys!!

It's hard for me to fathom become, I such huge fan of hers. Like I grew up on Alicia Keys, from "Falling" to "Unthinkable" to "If I Ain't Got You" to "Empire State of Mind" I mean I could keep going.

Alicia keys is incredible. It was an absolute honor to get to music before her performance!

I played music for about 40 minute (It was slotted to be between 20 mins and 45 mins) so I had a 40 min set prepped and ready to go. For this set, I wanted to have something pre-planned because I knew it would be more of a performance type of set, rather than me reading the crowd. I want to play mashups, and I wanted the set to be focused around Alicia’s sound.

It ended up being a fun set:
