Baby Kush: Who has inspired you on your artistic journey?

Mary Droppinz: LP Giobbi is a woman who has inspired me. And she’s really been a guiding light and worked super hard and really paved her own path.

Baby Kush: What advice do you have for your younger self?

Mary Droppinz: I wish I dove in and went full-time right away and not been afraid of doing it.

Baby Kush: What is your advice for aspiring women DJs/producers?

Mary Droppinz: Don’t hold yourself back and really just put yourself out there and share. If I have a mix that I recorded  and then like halfway through it's a little crunchy and it's not perfect, I’m not going to trip on one little part, I’m still going to put it out. Just don’t hold yourself back.

Baby Kush: What is your dream b2b set?

Mary Droppinz: I had a great one with Flava D, I definitely want to run it back with her again. And honestly I would love to go back to back with Four Tet.

Baby Kush: What is your most memorable fan interaction?

Mary Droppinz: I was DJing at Burning Man and this awesome group of people came up and they held up a sign and she was like saying we came to Burning Man for you. Whoa! That’s so awesome! Fans, fam, homies, supporters, whatever it's all kind of the same.

Baby Kush: What will your legacy be? 

Mary Droppinz: Gamechanger, being at the forefront, being multi genre. My legacy will be that I really came in and brought something different to spaces that might not have been ready yet, but then they actually were.
