🇺🇸 Mary Droppinz

Biography

Born Alyssa Johnson in Omaha, Nebraska to a teacher mother and drummer father, which sparked her lifelong obsession with rhythm and led her to piano lessons as a kid. As an adult, she got bored of doing the non-creative side of marketing and went back to school for art direction and Photoshop. It was there where she found DJing and immediately fell in love. Nine years ago, she gave herself ten years to try out the DJ thing while continuing a (more creative) career in marketing. If her DJing didn’t take off by then, she’d relegate it to a hobby. Luckily for the dance music scene, as she aptly put it, her DJ career has “been poppin’.”
