During her studies, Kasja began to make her way working in events productions and nightlife, which led her to organise and curate a brief series of events with a focus on queerness in dance music for the southeastern European or Balkan region entitled Venera u Vodoliji.

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.
