Nigerian-born, London-based DJ and producer, Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola (born 1992), is incredibly bubbly, open and passionate about her life and work.
Taking it back a few decades, she talks about her days growing up in Lagos. “I come from a very entrepreneurial, ambitious family and I had the most exciting childhood ever. My parents did not give me one second of free time – from swimming lessons to learning to play the piano, to Yoruba and cooking lessons.” Though that may have seemed overwhelming as a little child, Cuppy reveals she appreciates the opportunities she’s had to grow as an individual. “[My parents] were very proactive and they were very supportive.

I wanted to be an ice skater once, and they said: Great, let’s do that! When I wanted to become a tennis player, their response was: Let’s do that! My parents, despite being very busy, were very invested in us as children.”
On her work:
“I feel like a body of work is going to represent my overall sound and I’m a lot more dynamic than people think I am.”
On self-confidence:
“I’m quite a self-assured person, so no one will ever deter me from doing what I want to do.”
On her brand:
“I’ve always felt like I have what I call my own pink print! For me, it’s all about finding a way of creating my own story my own way.”
On life lessons:
“I’m realising that I’ve built a brand that people may not always agree with but are willing to hear from – and it’s about making that into something positive.”
