H&M Grand Opening, The Grove (Los Angeles)
A Fashion-Forward Beat: DJ Tessa Spins for H&M’s Grand Opening at The Grove
There’s something magical when fashion meets music — and as the founder of Prism DJs, I had the honor of bringing that magic to life during the grand opening of H&M at The Grove in Los Angeles.
H&M’s newly revamped store at The Original Farmers Market by The Grove isn’t just a retail space — it’s a sleek, gallery-like flagship designed to reflect the sun-drenched, open-air energy of L.A. The architecture features large windows, curved walls, translucent displays, and modern wooden fitting rooms — all framed by iconic L.A. palm trees. To celebrate the launch, H&M threw a high-energy, music-infused event that felt like an elevated street festival. The day was part of H&M’s ongoing commitment to blending fashion with live sound, style with community.
Thank you to Rock + Paper and H&M for including me — DJ Tessa, founder of Prism DJs — in this unforgettable evening. I was invited to curate the soundtrack, and I leaned into a set that matched the refined-but-vibrant energy of the event:
Chill house beats: to create a relaxed, sophisticated groove
Pop remixes: infusing familiar tunes with an upbeat, celebratory edge
Afrobeats: bringing global rhythm and warmth to the crowd
The goal was to support the fashion-forward, gallery-like feel of H&M’s space — not overwhelm it. The music was ambient yet dance-worthy, perfect for mingling, discovering the store, and enjoying the moment.
As the founder of Prism DJs, my mission has always been to close the gender gap in DJing by elevating women-identifying talent in high-profile spaces — especially in corporate, fashion, launch, and luxury events. Playing for H&M at The Grove wasn’t just a gig — it was a celebration of style, partnership, and empowerment. It demonstrated how music from a female DJ can elevate a brand experience and keep things fresh, modern, and inclusive.
