DJ Duo Of The Month Nervo

DJ Duo Of The Month Nervo

Exhibit caught up to speed with the Nervo sisters miriam nervo and olivia nervo for an exclusive interview. These Australian twins started working at the age of the 16 and wrote the co-writing the Grammy Award-winning single, “When Love Takes Over”, performed by David Guetta and Kelly Rowland. In an interesting e-conversation with Utsavi Jha, the superbusy, workaholic and world’s highest paid women DJs reveal their secret to their successful career.

ex: I would like to begin by asking that how difficult or easy was it to become the most popular women DJ duo especially in a male-dominated industry?

NERVO: All we can say is we don’t know any different and there is not much we can do about being women. Initially, there were times when people were caught off guard or didn’t support or acknowledge us but maybe being part of the gender minority has pushed us to be better and more focused. Having said that we received a lot of support from a lot of popular DJs as we used to write music for the boys. It blows our minds when we think that they are the highest ranking females.

ex: How would you like to describe your style of music in live sets?

We always try and play the ‘Nervo’ records that we are promoting at that time as well as our old tracks along with some new records for testing. We plan the beginning and the end of our sets but we like to feel the crowd for the most part and keep it as spontaneous as possible.

ex: How is the response different in the different places you’ve played at?
