YAMIA TURNS 40!
On March 2nd, Yamia celebrated her 40th birthday (a month before me!) at her gorgeous home in Carmel Valley. It was a jam-packed night between the naked sushi, burlesque show, and dance party! I was honored to be the one & only San Diego DJ she trusted with the music for her big soiree. She even let me make a little remix of the “Hava Nagila” for her Hora!
