I'm a DJ/producer, and I'm learning to play the drums. I DJ at clubs and
events, and I also compete in DJ battles. This year my partner and I
released a battle record (yes, on actual vinyl), which was the first
battle record ever produced by female DJs.
Not sure if it makes me a better technical writer, but I've definitely
been known to bribe SMEs with my mixes. :-) Luckily, as some of you have
mentioned, many devs are avid music buffs!

Subject: Re: musicians among us
I used to sing in college fests. I am talking about the years 1998 to
2001.
Then I started to work, but at the back of my mind, I always wanted to
become a singer. I still have miles to go before I realize my dream.
I have been singing on and off -- at office parties; karaoke events at
food courts and five-star hotels; tech writer conferences and meetups.
When I started to work for Samsung, South Korea, the first thing I
looked for in my dorm was a "Noray Bang" or a "Music Room." Thanks to
sites like the YouTube, and several others, I can now download Karaoke
renditions of some of the most popular artists, and practice my vocal
chords at leisure.
What fun!
