The international model-turned-DJ known as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ana_stasia_boo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" class=\"T3D\">DJ Ana Boo<\/a>\u201d has changed our perspective behind the decks, and the lens. \u201cI\u2019ve been in front of the camera my whole life, but I\u2019ve always had a passion for music.\u201d The Ukrainian artist moved to New York City at the age of 20, and after years in the modeling business and making playlists for fun, her taste in music caught the attention of industry regulars. \u201cPeople at work started to tell me, \u2018You should be a DJ,\u2019 and it wasn\u2019t until three or four years ago that I said to myself, \u2018Maybe I should.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a former ballet dancer and piano player in childhood, Bondarenko was ultimately inspired by the underground club scene in Europe where she modeled full-time throughout her teens. \u201cMy taste in music developed from being physically there \u2014\u00a0at the parties, at the venues.\u201d This lifestyle is also what refined Bondarenko\u2019s ability to recognize new talent for her sets, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/adamten_?igsh=MTA2bTU2bDd0Y2ozeA%3D%3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" class=\"T3D\">Adam Ten<\/a> and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/desiree_rsa?igsh=bHF2amVpbXR4ZGd2https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/desiree_rsa?igsh=bHF2amVpbXR4ZGd2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" class=\"T3D\"> Desiree<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s all about practice,\u201d DJ Ana Boo adds when reflecting on her journey from modeling to DJing for top venues like Chez Margaux, Surf Lodge, and of course, NYLON\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nylon.com\/nylon-nights\/nylon-memberships-first-rodeo-at-desert-5-spot\" class=\"T3D\">first rodeo <\/a>at Desert Five Spot. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt always comes down to your music selection, and your ability to read the room. That\u2019s what makes the difference between a good DJ, and a great one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On that note, scroll ahead for DJ Ana Boo\u2019s take on balancing wellness and nightlife, model-approved beauty treatments, and the GRWM soundtrack of her dreams.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR CEt\">\n<figure class=\"Qf5 E1M\">\n<div style=\"padding-top:133.3059%\" class=\"vmZ F8Y ap2\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/4\/24\/76c0dfe4\/_4-copy.jpg?w=414&amp;h=552&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"EdX\"><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h4><strong>The best place to throw a party?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>I like the membership clubs, like Chez Margaux. I actually DJ\u2019d their opening party. Or Casa Cipriani. It\u2019s a different vibe, but it&#8217;s beautiful. In terms of <em>actual<\/em> clubs, I still think Gospel is number one. They try to make better ones, but you can\u2019t beat Gospel if you\u2019re looking for a real late-night party.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What is your getting-ready soundtrack for a night out?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>I listen to <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/djanaboo?ref=clipboard&amp;p=i&amp;c=1&amp;si=EEB95EAB7C8944928778933E0367FD1F&amp;utm_source=clipboard&amp;utm_medium=text&amp;utm_campaign=social_sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" class=\"T3D\">my own sets<\/a>!<\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR vrU\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"BCT MJ1\">\n<blockquote data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C_5wpH4ONdN\/?igsh=Ymp4ZXp3YzkzMnF6\" data-shortcode=\"C_5wpH4ONdN\" class=\"UyF\">\n<div class=\"yzx\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C_5wpH4ONdN\/?igsh=Ymp4ZXp3YzkzMnF6\" title=\"View on Instagram\" class=\"y9v GmH\"><i class=\"icx g9F\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h4><strong>What is the best cocktail in the city and from where? <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>I barely drink, but I love wine once in a while \u2014 ros\u00e9, red, white \u2014 I love it all. Just a glass. I don&#8217;t smoke, I live a clean lifestyle, and I\u2019m very active.<\/p>\n<h4>What are the wellness rituals you keep up with, even on your busiest day?<\/h4>\n<p>I work out every day because I love it. I do hot yoga, tennis. I love to go skiing. My favorite lately is boxing \u2014 I go to Gotham Gym. <\/p>\n<h4><strong>How do you balance leading a wellness lifestyle while being in the thick of nightlife?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>I love deep house music\u00a0\u2014 that&#8217;s my main genre. Those are usually late-night parties. Honestly, I love to sleep, and I always make sure to get eight hours. I try to rest as much as I can \u2014 especially being a woman, it\u2019s important we take care of ourselves!<\/p>\n<h4>How does being in the fashion industry impact your style in the booth?<\/h4>\n<p>The relationship between modeling and DJing is twofold; [being a public figure] opens more doors, but at the same time, you have to prove even more that you have a talent. Oftentimes people assume pretty girls have no idea what they\u2019re doing up there. <\/p>\n<p>From a fashion perspective, I always want to bring my best to each gig. I dress differently depending on the type of event or the venue, too. I like wearing a T-shirt and being a little bit of a rock star. So I mix up my style. I don&#8217;t want to be too glamorous. I think a DJ actually shouldn&#8217;t be too pretty or too cute.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR\">\n<div class=\"QYV\">\n<div class=\"uES fEt\">\n<div class=\"uT7\">\n<div class=\"FDO\">\n<div class=\"vmZ XJ- jWP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/4\/24\/d897dc07\/_3.jpg?w=374&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"EdX\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"FDO\">\n<div class=\"vmZ XJ- jWP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/4\/24\/fa4f66bd\/_6.jpg?w=374&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"EdX\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yOD GLK\">\n<div class=\"ki0 kpP\">\n<div class=\"MNV\"><\/div>\n<p><label for=\"lightboxCheckbox-463878195\" class=\"QNb y8V St5\"><button aria-label=\"open lightbox\" class=\"kMc\"><\/button><\/label><\/div>\n<div class=\"C1C\">\n<div class=\"ZXG\">\n<div class=\"F6c\"><button class=\"ikQ VkL\"><\/button>1 \/ 2<button class=\"ikQ Olc\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"LOc\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"igl f5y\"><button class=\"ikQ Xfx\"><span class=\"Od1\">INFO<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"itG\">1 \/ 2<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h4><strong>What is the most underrated beauty product in your makeup bag?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Anything <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/biologique_recherche\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" class=\"T3D\">Biologique Recherche.<\/a> <\/p>\n<h4><strong>What is your best piece of dating advice?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Trust your gut.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<aside class=\"fX2 rhF jIS\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"lqj TnP\">\n<div class=\"BMP\">\n<div class=\"oHL\">Style + Culture, delivered straight to your inbox.<\/div>\n<div class=\"wCn\">\n<div class=\"Yte yjy DSW\"><\/div>\n<p><button class=\"Ex8 qgj\"><span>Submit<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"uxm\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"g-0\">By subscribing to this BDG newsletter, you agree to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bdg.com\/info\/terms-of-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Terms of Service<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bdg.com\/info\/privacy-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Privacy Policy<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nylon.com\/newsletter\">Subscribe to our newsletter &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nylon Nights For DJ Ana Boo, Spinning Is A Form Of Art The model-turned-DJ shares her tips for balancing wellness and nightlife in NYC. by Samantha Nik 2 minutes ago NYLON Membership Files Introducing The Membership Files, a recurring series where NYLON spotlights its favorite tastemakers across beauty, culture, entertainment, and more.
