Let's go.
Caroline D'Amore, how are you?
That's me.
I'm wonderful.
I said it right, did I?
You did.
It's a great name.
It's the family name.
Um, hence D'Amore's Pizza.
Love it.
I love it.
It's brilliant.
I actually didn't know that.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I I thought it crossed my mind, but I didn't know because you know, you get similar names and you're like, that's not theirs.
I have had it.
Great job on the pizza.
Thanks.
My dad would be so happy that we're talking.
Great job, Dad.
Love the pizza.
Great stuff.
Well, we're here.
We're in a studio which is Ski's, uh, radio show studios, isn't it?
Yes.
Which is why you've got your radio show, Heartbeats.
Yes.
DJ Ski, legend.
Um, as we all know.
He, um, had me in one time to play one of my singles on his Kiss FM show.
And then, um, we became friends and then I basically said I want to have my own radio show like you one day.
And he started his own network, Ski 24/7, and it's an app, um, that you can download and so you can listen from anywhere in the world.
Or, yeah, at any time.
Or you can go to www. ski247. com and listen there.
And my show Heartbeats is an all electronic show.
It's the only electronic show.
Actually, I'm the only female in this entire building, um, of DJs.
Must be very interesting.
Oh, yeah.
You must be a popular lady.
Just a little bit.
A little bit.
Especially with outfits like this.
Come on.
Making all the men very happy at Ski 24/7.
So, you're playing electronic music, is that that what we can expect?
Just pure electronic dance ourselves away.
Literally, you will puke from dancing so much.
That's the show.
It's all electronic music.
Being as how I've been traveling the world doing the DJ thing in the electronic scene.
And now that I'm producing a show for um, Billboard called DJ Diaries, I'm even more engulfed in the scene.
So, I'm getting tracks from the DJs.
I'm playing obscure remixes.
Um, it's definitely a show you should listen.
You're a machine, you're very, very busy girl, aren't you?
I sure am.
And you mentioned because a lot of people probably know you as a DJ, all that stuff.
But you mentioned obviously, Ski played your single.
Yes.
But you have, you've had uh, successful singles, especially in Japan.
Yes.
It's like number one, wasn't it?
Yeah.
And that's a lot of people in Japan.
Yes.
There are a lot of people in Japan.
Yeah.
And I had um, an awesome, an awesome time in Japan and where school I got to do a whole tour over there and everything.
But I actually am going to be playing my new single tonight.

I know that song.

Do you know that one or not?
I don't.
Okay.
But I promise I didn't steal it from that.
Okay, good.
So I'm sure you'll be doing a better job.
Right.
What artists and uh, DJs are you a fan of at the moment, other than yourself, obviously?
Because you should be a fan of yourself.
I like myself, but I'm not a fanatic.
Um, I am really, really, really obsessed with Markus Schulz right now.
He's a big trance DJ.
I am a really big fan of 12th Planet.
