“I strive to be the Sylvia Rhone of Podcasts” – C. DeVone
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Being a woman in the male-dominated industry of Djaying and audio production.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
As a DJ and Podcast Producer – my goal is to shift moods, stories, and narratives and provide audible nutrients. Being a DJ, I have had opportunities to spin at amazing events and within unique spaces. As a Podcast Producer, the most important thing that I can do within my craft is touch someone by either making them feel, move or spark an emotion by music or storytelling. What sets me apart is this is not only my passion, it is my purpose!
Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
“I strive to be the Sylvia Rhone of Podcasts.” My future goals are to build an empire of various podcast and audio production. Podcasts are the future! It will continue to grow and I am excited to be in the earlier stages of the technology and creative process.
