When I speak to 28-year-old DJ Tiffany Calver she looks particularly glam - on her way to play a set at the Tommy Hilfiger x Shawn Mendes launch party at Koko Camden. “Pamela Anderson’s going to be there, I’m quite excited,” she confesses. Fashion parties aren’t anything new for Calver, who is used to playing stadiums opening for Beyoncé and Jay-Z, and touring with Drake too.
Whilst she initially thought she’d end up as a fashion journalist, Calver started blogging about music during her late teens, before making the move from Telford to London and teaching herself to mix whilst studying Media at Westminster. Since then she’s worked for NTS Radio, had a brief stint at Kiss FM, before landing her dream slot on BBC Radio 1Xtra’s The Rap Show. “I’m honoured to be taking over the slot that has pretty much soundtracked my life” Calver said in 2018, and after four beautiful years, she plays her final show tomorrow night. “I’ve decided I want to get a hummer limo, that’s how I’m feeling. I want to really celebrate this new era. I had such an incredible time for four years doing that show,” she tells me, truly going out with a bang.
