Quotes from the show:
“I have a non-verbal conversation with my songs to people. You don’t have to speak the same language. We don’t have to be of the same gender, social economic (status). None of that matters. Do we understand each other. Are we communicating? That’s all I want.” – DJ Shani
“I just love being close to the people. That’s my job. When I get on the stage, it’s to bring people closer. “It’s fun to nerd out with other women.” – DJ Mahealani Use the Unofficial Nitewire on GroupMe to connect with people on any given night and find out what is happening around town.
