So\u2026we didn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI had been streaming sets during COVID just for fun,\u201d says Broadnax, \u201cand I ended up doing something for a Juneteenth event, then a Hispanic heritage event, and then what really kicked it off was this past Black History Month.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turns out Elliott isn&#8217;t the only talented DJ among us. Other employees around the world were inspired to put together sets of their own, and, since the beginning of 2022, RingCentral has hosted bi-weekly House Party Fridays for all to enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Filling the room<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The virtual audiences started at almost 100 listeners, and according to Broadnax, averages more than twice that now\u2026and climbing. \u201cWe were doing these sets for the BE@R (Black Employees @ RingCentral) Employee Resource Group, and we got such good feedback that we turned it into a regular event and put a call out to see if there were other DJs in our workforce. There definitely were.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Influencers everywhere<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_52447\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52447\" style=\"width: 180px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-52447\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Jesse-Nandra.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-52447\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jesse Nandra<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI was raised on a lot of electronic music,\u201d\u00a0 says Leicester, UK-based Professional Services Engineer Jesse Nandra.,\u00a0 \u201cand I took a deep dive into it through my passion for music technology, and producing music on a PC. I\u2019m not really stuck on a particular genre at the moment, but I do really appreciate anyone who personally produces music.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Broadnax, it all starts with soul. \u201cEverything I play or research has some kind of soul element to it. That being said, there&#8217;s tons of cool remixes and edits and things that show off the soul influence without being explicit Motown or R&amp;B. You hear it in rock and roll.\u00a0 In blues. In EDM &#8211;\u00a0 there&#8217;s tons of soul in there.\u00a0 So I like to find those funky soul things that are mashed up into something else.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Pro tips<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">House Party Fridays are hosted on RingCentral Videos, and Nandra offers tips on how to get the most out of it. \u201cHosts definitely want to turn off the noise canceling functions to allow the sound to come through without any filtering. As for listeners, you\u2019re able to connect from anywhere you have an internet connection, so pair a Bluetooth speaker up to your mobile or put your good headphones on, and of course\u2026turn it up.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As far as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">what <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to listen to, both Broadnax and Nandra\u00a0 currently recommend\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.silksonic.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Silk Sonic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the R&amp;B superduo of singer Bruno Mars and rapper\/singer Anderson.Paak.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Tune In.

I enjoy telling stories that bring brands to life through humankind and culture. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, reading dystopian novels, doing DIY projects, and hanging out with my family. I have a special affinity for clever mugs, belong to House Ravenclaw, and reside in Charlotte, NC, with my husband, 18-year-old son, and our cat named Willow.","url":"\/us\/en\/blog\/author\/abby-hyde\/"}]}},"rc_img_url":"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/World-day-of-music1.jpg","rcblog_by_author":"<a href=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/author\/abby-hyde\/amp\" data-dl-events-click=\"true\" data-dl-element=\"link\"><span class=\"image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/69674fd5334effcc6ab5ef2d5374070cf1e9956eec785ac189f73e7db09623af?s=96&d=mm&r=g\" alt=\"\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\" layout=\"fixed\"><\/img><\/span><span class=\"by-author-name\">Abby Hyde<\/span><\/a>","rc_author_full_name":"Abby Hyde","rc_author_avatar":"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Abby-Hyde.png","rc_author_link":"\/us\/en\/blog\/author\/abby-hyde\/amp","rc_post_categories":"<a href=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/category\/trending\/ringcentral-newsdesk\/amp\">Company news &amp; culture<\/a>","amp_link":"\/us\/en\/blog\/can-we-kick-it-yes-we-can\/amp","excerpt_title":"Can we kick it?
