You will be able to practice on professional equipment, study additional music production tips, and create your own playlist / mini mix!

Angel Lee is a dj in Leeds. Holding residencies all over the city, including Mission, Revolution and Angelica, she has a passion for music of all genres. Having been a full time dj for over 10 years, and owning her first pair of decks over 20 years ago, she’s Dj’d all over the country and in Dubai and Marbella for brands & companies such as Candypants, Mulberry, Dior and Selfridges and is also a regular dj for Emmerdale parties.
