About Fiona
I'm Fiona (they/she) a.k.a. FFINN.
I've been a freelance DJ tutor since 2019, and my lived experience in the music industry as a selector, label head, promoter and technician for over a decade informs everything about how I teach.
My unique skill lies in multi-genre musical journeys that balance dark atmospherics with silly energy, creating relatable and memorable moments for any environment. I exist in underground rave scenes, queer dance parties, themed commercial club nights and the occasional wedding - talk about versatility!
Since finding my voice, I've been invited to share stages with acts such as Ben Pest, Itoa, Monuman, The DJ Producer and Samurai Breaks. My notable past appearances include: Shambala Festival, Bang Face Weekender, Balter Festival, Hit & Run UK.
I enjoy an eclectic list of genres, including but not limited to: Dubstep/140, DnB/Halftime, Jungle, Juke/Footwork, Garage, Electro, Breaks, House/Techno, Trance, IDM/Electronica, Hip Hop, Post-Rock, Indie, Metal and all kinds of Pop music.

My lessons are built around self-directed learning. You bring your goals and access needs; I shape the session around you — adhering to how you receive feedback and learn best. Expect a safe, informal, and playful space that is free of judgement; where mistakes are seen as the best learning points, not setbacks.
If you'd like to kick-start or progress your DJ journey, convert your vinyl skills over to CDJs, and/or venture into crafting multi-genre sets seamlessly — I'd love to meet you!
I am enhanced DBS checked, and I have financial flexibility for low-income folks.
Open to ages 14+ (under 18s to be accompanied by an adult guardian)

Details
Here’s an idea of what the workshops could look like:
Beginner Session · £130 / 3 hrs
For absolute beginners with no or some home DJ experience; walk away feeling house-party-ready after 1 session.
Example topics covered: Basic Rekordbox, track cueing, beat matching, basic EQ mixing.
Intermediate Session · £130 / 3 hrs
For those with beginner knowledge or substantial experience with CDJ equipment & mixing; walk away feeling booth/stage-ready after 1 session.
Example topics covered: Advanced Rekordbox, finding the right cue point(s), mixing flairs, recovering from mistakes.
Bespoke Tuition · £45 / hr · £130 / 3 hrs
For those who are already adept with DJ equipment & mixing. Best suited for those returning to the decks after a hiatus, or looking to level up their mixing styles.
The Full Monty · £600 / 15 hrs
A fleshed-out course for all skill levels — no prior musical or mixing experience required. Runs across 5x 3-hour sessions over about a month. We'll dig deep and play hard, with ample space to practise and breathe. Walk away feeling confident and equipped after 5 sessions!
Mentorship · £20 / hr · £50 / month
Video calls or in-person meetings.
Pick my brain over any of these topics: DJ etiquette, soundboard mixtape and setlist ideas, constructive feedback on a mix or set you've done, finding your positionality within the music industry, insights from an ethnic minority, AuDHD, queer, femme-presenting DJ, artist, technician, former record label owner and promoter.
In-person workshops are held at Pirate Studios (Bristol, UK) and rates include studio hire.
