DJ Quilla Interview: An EDM and Deep House Artist in Her Element
This DJ Quilla interview catches the international recording artist at home in her studio — Chris pulls up to talk music and ends up nicknaming her “Cute Dog” within the first three minutes.
She’s not your average DJ, and that comes through fast. You get the music industry talk, the story behind her name, and her real backstory — French-Canadian and Peruvian roots, an anthropology degree she actually uses, label work — plus enough KBS silliness to remember whose channel this is.
What’s covered in the visit
- Where the name Quilla comes from — adapted from “Killa” in Quechua, her grandmother’s language, meaning Moon.
- Her dual French-Canadian and Peruvian heritage, growing up in Canada, and DJing as both work and social time.
- Real talk on celebrity DJs and why she wants R&B and hip-hop features integrated into the composition — not just dropped in mid-break.
About seven and a half minutes of one of the more grounded artist interviews on the channel — plus a teaser for tracks coming on Vision Quest and Armada Music.
Hit play below and see why this one stuck with the team. Quilla’s a different kind of guest, in the best way.
