Ruth Flowers or Mommy Rock was known as the world oldest DJ. 69-year-old Ruth
Flowers is a living example that age shouldn’t get in the way of
things you’re passionate about. Like Bette Calman, the Yoga
super-granny, Ruth does extraordinary things, for her age. before
this we got another weird and bizarre grandma. she was
Zhang Ruifang a unicorn ladyfrom china. but Ruth
Flower has another uniqueness. she might be old but she still got
the skills to be a DJ! yeah go for it Grand Mother...
Known as “Mammy Rock“, around the European club scene, Ruth
Flowers is probably the oldest professional DJ in the world. The
British granny wears bling-bling headphones, trendy clothes and
sports an electrifying hear-do as she works the turntables in
popular clubs, in France.
Mammy Rock’s career began when she was 65. Her grandson was
celebrating his birthday in a London nightclub, and asked Ruth to
join him and his friends. There were a few problems with the
bouncers, who didn’t feel right letting a senior citizen inside
such an establishment, but as soon as she stepped in, Mammy Rock
was bewitched by the lively atmosphere that made her feel so much
younger.
She talked to her grandson about becoming a DJ herself, and
although he thought she was mad, he agreed to introduce her to a
young music producer. After learning the basics of electro music,
Mammy Rock developed her very own style, and one of today’s most
in-demand DJs.
Ruth had had a pretty interesting youth, going to balls all the
time, but with the coming of old age, she became bored out of her
mind. She says she’d much rather “sign a contract with a record
company than to sign up for the nursing home.”
