THE INTERVIEW
CR: Hi Beatriz, welcome to Canadianravers! Do you mind telling us a little bit about yourself and the story behind the name 'B JONES'?
B: Hello! About me, I can tell you that I am a normal girl living my dream! The story is long, I was an 11-year-old girl when I discovered this profession from a deejay close to the family and I fell in love immediately, but at that time I lived in a small town and I had never seen a female deejay so I never thought it would be something possible for me. When I was 18 years old I moved to Ibiza in the summer to work as a waitress and there at Pacha Ibiza I saw the first female deejay in my life... from this moment I started to believe that I could make my dream come true... my friends called me " Indiana jones" hahahah my name is Beatriz---- B - JONES
