L<\/span>ead DJ and Emcee Alyssa Watson not only juggles multiple gigs \u2013 she's also a professional juggler!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have experience juggling balls, rings, pins and doing Diablo, devil sticks and poi as well!\u201d the Wisconsin native says.<\/span><\/p>\n

Watson is comfortable both in and out of the spotlight as she can slide effortlessly from performing a juggling routine to mixing tunes behind the DJ booth. She started in the business about 11 years ago and has been DJing consistently for about six years now.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI would see so many guys behind the board just making so many people dance and break through their shells, and I wanted to be that person!\u201d she says. \u201cI also wanted to help diversify the industry by being a younger female behind the board!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Being a woman in a male-dominated industry hasn't stopped Watson from rocking the mic. She says she is a jack of all trades \u2013 capable of playing any style or genre and killing it!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy specialty is 2010-2017 mainstream and hip hop, but I also specialize in classic rock (70s-90s) and enjoy country and many other styles of music!\u201d she says. \u201cAs far as personality, I\u2019m super bubbly, just that fun, upbeat, always-dancing DJ!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Watson says her favorite part of the job is seeing the smiles at the end of the night and getting hugs and high-fives thanking her for making a memorable night. And she absolutely loves a couples' first dance.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSeeing the love, and commitment and being honored to introduce them for the first time dancing as husband and wife is honestly a beautiful moment,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Watson isn't DJing (or juggling) she works as an operations manager and teaches dance. She also cleans aviaries and fish tanks at local nursing homes (we told you she was busy!)<\/span><\/p>\n

However, her favorite job is being a mom to her 2-year-old.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have much free time, but when I do, I spend it with my family!\u201d she says. \u201cI love going places and spending time with my fianc\u00e9 and my little boy! My son inspires me to be the best version of myself. He loves music and dancing, and I love being able to offer him happiness in both areas!<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>
