Manami Baba

Hello! I’m Manami (she/her). I’ve been DJ’ing for 10 years and producing for 7, performing at major venues and festivals including Glastonbury, Fabric, and The Warehouse Project, and releasing music on labels such as Rhythm Section and Futureboogie, with plays on Radio 1 Dance and editorial playlists.

Alongside performing, I teach DJing and music production privately and through Saffron Music, supporting students from marginalised communities to build skills, confidence, and creativity in a safe, welcoming, and personalised environment.

I’d love to help you develop your musical journey, whether it’s DJing, producing, or exploring your own style, and guide you toward your goals at your own pace.

I offer lessons in:
DJing - Beginner to advanced, including vinyl
Music Production - Creating original tracks, remixes, or full arrangements in Ableton

Each lesson is tailored to your skill level, interests, and goals. I work with you to create a personalised roadmap so you can progress at your own pace and achieve real results. Examples of what we can work towards include:
Performing a complete set at a friend’s party or local event/open decks
Producing original tracks, remixes or edits in Ableton
Hosting your own radio show or live stream set
Exploring new music and refining your unique style
Mastering DJ skills on vinyl

Lesson structure:
First lesson: 45 minutes of practical skills + 15 minutes to discuss your goals and map out a clear progression plan
Subsequent lessons: Fully tailored to your roadmap and focus on hands-on practice and skill development

Lessons are available in-person within a 30-minute travel radius or online worldwide, with flexible scheduling. I currently have a few slots available, so feel free to get in touch to book your first session.
