Her dedication eventually led to bookings at some of Berlin clubs, such as; 90mil, Galerie Wedding, Refuge Worldwide and more.
In addition to DJing, Kasja holds a monthly residency at Bristol‘s queer community radio station ‘transgression.fm‘.
Despite her love for Rijeka and beyond, Kasja decided to move to Berlin to further her career. She now works in a music communication agency, where she continues to explore her passion for music, events and support established and emerging artists and labels.
