cial DJ of the LA Chargers it was like magical just because for me family was everything and music was everything until we had to leave our [Music] country what's it like DJing in front of thousands of fans at Chargers home games it feels surreal so every time I'm there and I feel the energy and I'm like oh my God like I'm actually here Esther and Nia has been the Charger's home game DJ and violinist for the last two seasons so I come from a musical family back in Colombia from monteria and my d
ad is for me one of the best musicians in the world and that is how I fell in love with music because of my father because of his passion I think he injected it in me and I was like literally the lion of the family but before Esther's musical Journey brought her to Sofi Stadium her family made a choice to survive we come from like a political family so everybody used to do politics back home and uh a lot of my family members were killed one day my dad was like we have to leave pick up everything
you have we got two weeks and we have to be out of the country so Esther's family would Escape Colombia for the the United States leaving everything behind except for one thing I felt scared and I remember my dad was like let's go I rather lose it all but not lose any of you guys I had to leave you know all the things that like I cherish growing up I don't have anything that could remind me of my childhood only the violin he was like take one thing and I still have that violin and today it's th
e violin that entertains thousands of fans at Chargers [Music] games and lucky for me I had a front row seat I'm going to let you do your thing I thought you were going to DJ with me oh am I going to DJ with okay all right I'll just I I'll you're going to be my a teer [Applause] [Music] leer and that's not all despite being forced to abandon her home country the violin has opened the doors to numerous other countries just to see annaya perform whatever happened in Colombia it was meant to happen
for me to be here and being able to share my talent and I still feel like there's so many Les because I always like think I'm like how did I make it here what would you say to the people who doubted you now watch me now and sit there cuz there's more coming thank you guys so much all right we're joined by Esther and I again now I'm just wondering your father made that decision like hey we need to leave Colombia the head to the United States like what does he say now when he sees your career wow
my dad said it was the best decision he he has ever made in his life because he not only saved our life but he brought so many opportunities and he's like you're carry on a dream that I always had my whole life you're living the life that I wish I could have lived that's what my dad tells me I'm like you got to be so proud it's it's so incredible to watch you perform and to play the beautiful instrument in front of a packed house like that what's it look like to play a football game NFL game my

Becoming a modern day "DJ". Perhaps the most non talent required form of musical art. Laughable that these "artists" get put over as much as they do these days.
