From Sarajevo to Baghdad, Moscow to L.A., KCRW DJ Valida brings a global perspective to her DJ sets

Born in a small Bosnian town, L.A.-based Valida has
experienced life all around the world. Now a KCRW DJ for
The Lab, Valida says that despite all of
her travels, the music coming out of Berlin, and other parts of
Germany, has stuck with her through it all.


From stints in Moscow, Baghdad, and London, her globetrotting
ways have undoubtedly influenced her musical style: “[There’s] no
escaping the fact that…I really do feel like a citizen of the
world.”
