9-year-old Vernon, B.C., DJ ready to spin
The Beairsto Elementary student began DJing at 8 and has already played for about 100 people, organizers said.
- Nine-Year-Old Vaughn Gauvin will perform at the Morning Glory Dance Party this Sunday, Nov. 15, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Cheek to Cheek Dance Studio.
- Mentored by Vernon DJ Darryl Antonishak, Gauvin started spinning on his eighth birthday after watching his parents' friends perform. His family's passion for electronic music shaped his early interest in DJing.
- Performing as Octovon, Gauvin plays hard-hitting techno influenced by Daft Punk and Bonobo. He previously opened a private party in August for approximately 100 people, resulting in a bylaw violation.
- Organizer Suki Fox launched the Morning Glory events 13 years ago to provide a sober space for local families. "I realized that I wanted to offer something different," Fox said.
- Local DJ Ed Walter, known as "Grandpa Groover," serves as a key inspiration for Gauvin as the Morning Glory series continues welcoming emerging and established artists to share their craft.
