The next morning I sat down with these world-renowned artists for an interview. While the Nervo twins created a very chill and relaxed atmosphere, I first asked them what they thought of this idea of playing at a house party. They both jumped to express their love of the idea. The two-minute-older sister, Olivia Nervo, mentioned that it was a great vibe: “normally big shows and festivals are all about entertaining the crowd, but this was more of an intimate night between us and the crowd” just a “great vibe.” Mariam Nervo expressed that “variety is the spice of life” so playing at these rare opportunities is truly special for them. The Bud Light House Party Tour has been rocking through out the whole summer, stopping in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. Bud Light smashed their first stop with French Montana in Vancouver, then Ty Dolla $ign in Toronto and finally the major beer company reached out to Nervo to host their last house party of the summer in Montreal. “We were super excited for the gig” said the Nervo sisters.
These two ladies work insanely hard to make the best music they possibly can. They casually explained that they frequently fly between LA and London just to get the sound that want. While sipping her tea in the hotel lobby after a big night, the older twin, Olivia, said: “sometimes we fly to London just to finish a mix. The mix we get in our room over there is just… Better.”
The question was brought up about why there are so fewer female DJ/producers in what is known as “the top 40”. The younger twin, Mariam Nervo, voiced that female DJs tend to stay in the techno world, but today we are seeing more and more female DJs become more “mainstream.” Olivia pitched in with a very good point expressing that when they started making music, they made melodies on the piano and wrote down their songs on paper then they would go to a producers house where they could use his computer and his system to produce and it was always a little bit intimidating. Now software and professional programs are easily accessible just from your computer in your bedroom. “Within the next ten years, I think the number of female DJs and producers will explode” added Olivia. It’s a part of the industry that will soon be changed.
