She’s been DJing for about five years now, but really, Brooke Evers has been doing this forever.
The Australian beauty began modeling at age 6 and quickly moved on to dance, and then to TV- and radio-hosting gigs and reality TV appearances. “I’ve always loved nightlife and wanted to be in that industry, and working in radio just got me further obsessed with music,” Evers says from LA, which she calls home when she’s not Down Under. “But DJing for me is more about being onstage and performing. I’ve done that forever, since I was just a young kid. Drama, dance, modeling, that was my thing, and being on stage and performing, I’m addicted to that. Being a DJ allows me to put on my own show.”
As part of SKAM Artists’ electronic division, Evers is fully focused on DJ life at the moment. “I don’t have any time really to do anything but this, because music takes up my whole life,” she says. “I’ll do [modeling or TV] if it works with what I’m trying to do musically, I’ll jump on it. But I also push a bit, because it’s so easy to get pigeonholed, like, ‘She’s just a model.’ It’s hard sometimes. But this is me, and this is what you get.”
What Vegas gets is an Aussie takeover for Fourth of July weekend, as Evers returns to Daylight Friday and her countrymen the Stafford Brothers take over on Saturday. “I love the stage at Daylight, because I can have all my friends partying behind the DJ booth, and you have a great open space to play out to. There’s always a really good vibe there,” she says. “It all comes down to who’s in front of you. The event, the venue, they’re all so different. You have to watch what people are doing and how they interact with what’s going down on the dancefloor. For a holiday weekend, the party is gonna go harder.” Brooke Evers (with Party Favor) at Daylight at Mandalay Bay, July 1.
