DJ G$
My name is Grace Seymour (aka G$), and I am a House DJ in Jacksonville Beach, FL. I am 23 years old, and have been involved in and out of music my entire life. I made my move from San Diego 2 years ago, and have intentionally sought out a music career since discovering the small (but present) community of DJ’s around me. I focus in on all genres and aspects of House music, and have received nothing but pure joy from doing so. I have never experienced a greater feeling than seeing happiness on others faces purely based off of a song – and that is why I do it. I’m here to make people dance.
