Meet VButterfly La Mariposa | Disc Jockey

We had the good fortune of connecting with VButterfly La Mariposa and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi VButterfly, any advice for those thinking about whether to keep going or to give up?
I listen to my heart. When my heart is not longer in it and I’m no longer doing it because I love it and it’s some thing that I am 100% behind it then I know it’s time to transition into something else. Sometimes we have to give up some things in order to make rooms for new things to come in. We cannot hold on to everything forever especially if it’s no longer making your heart palpitate, and brings butterflies in your stomach. We all have a mission in this life, to follow or lead or soul purpose to where it needs to go. So given up to me it’s not quitting, it’s just knowing. When you’re happy or not at her place.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Most of the Music that I play or create are an extension of my current mental state in life. As I grow so is my abilities to adapt with the changes and time of musical genres but I keep myself authentic by honoring my sounds. I do get so many beautiful influences by the region’s flavors when I travel and I bring that into existence thru the music that I play or create.. I have learned Throughout the years that some music have the power to heal and inspire and motivate people, not all ,but the right ones. The right music with the right frequency, with the right message. Can be a very powerful thing and I believe that anyone can play music, but what sets me apart from most.. not all, is that I will assure you that when you leave my Dancefloor you are feeling inspired, loved, like I gave you a HUGE Musical hug. I assure you create my set to inspire, move, & make feel everything!. Because I know that we are all listening even when we’re not paying attention. I got where I am today by not taking no B.S. from those who can’t give you support in the first place., I have always remnants the saying “a no to you is a yes to me!” NOT being scared of what others may think, or say about me. That obviously comes with the territory in this industry , but as long as stay focus of what I am doing all of this for, and how important it’s is to me plus The responsibility I have to music, that’s alI that I need to know. Remember this words, Music Is Medicine, and it has the potential to heal our DNA 🧬 Like the sound frequency healing practitioners do, The music penetrates the soul.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I live in Florida and there’s endless of places to go but if I had to pinpoint a place I would say you must definitely go all the way down to the keys and make sure you catch the sunset along the 7 mile bridge., also a must is Make a stop to Calle 8 To go play some Domino’s in the street and then at night goes salsa dancing with friends to their Live bands. I will take them to the Frost museum and Bay Front Park, Then I will make sure they catch their disco nap because then it comes THE nighttime activities which is a whole other intriguing world in South Florida. I will start our night by going to a nice dinner at Bagattelle , then pre game at The National Hotel & say hello to my friend Ray Who makes the most amazing cocktails in the city. Then I will follow by my footsteps to club 11 because it’s a must, it’s like Disney world for grown-ups. Lol Then After that I will walk across the street just at the right time A.M hrs and take them to Club Space’s Terrace. Because you cannot be in Miami, and not take yourself to Space if you love to dance & want to hear some great and catch some international djs. it’s a staple.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to recognize all the beautiful teachers, mentors, my beloved daughters, incredible husband, my spiritual brothers, sisters, TheWomb.com, all the venues, Records labels, producers , music fans , All promoters & future promoters that paved the way, last but not least all of my old, new & future colleagues . I believe that your vibes attracts your tribes. And I’ve been super blessed to have met so many incredible people along this journey we call life , you win some and you lose some but you never stop learning from them.. They are truly the anchors to my boat. Thank you for the Lessons guys!
