DJ Surreal is the founder of Love of Gothic, a lifelong DJ, and a maker with an endless curiosity for creating. She has been behind the decks since the age of 14, playing everything from weddings and private events to clubs and festivals. While her musical journey has crossed many genres, alternative music has always been where she feels most at home. Today she accepts select DJ bookings for the simple joy of sharing music and creating unforgettable nights on the dance floor.
Creativity has always been a driving force in her life. Whether she’s designing with resin, crafting chainmaille, working with wood, illustrating, binding books, or experimenting with a new medium, she’s happiest when she’s learning a new skill and bringing an idea to life. Her handcrafted creations can occasionally be found at local artisan markets, where she enjoys sharing them with fellow makers and collectors.
Community is the thread that ties everything together. Through music, events, and now Love of Gothic, Surreal has always been passionate about creating spaces where people feel welcome to explore their interests, meet like-minded people, and celebrate the things they love. Hearing stories of friendships, creative collaborations, and lasting connections that began through her work remains one of her greatest rewards.
