Birthday girl Xandra Pohl rocked a glamorous one-piece on the beaches of Belize

We wish our Xandra Pohl a happy birthday! Today the professional DJ turns 24, and in honor of this milestone, we're taking a look back at some of her greatest achievements to date.

As we go through her impressive career, it would be remiss not to mention her early affinity with the music industry. Pohl, like many of us, found great joy in standing in the crowd at concerts and music festivals. At first she just loved the experience. But during a visit to Lollapalooza her freshman year of high school, she decided she didn't just want to watch the DJs perform—she wanted to be one, too.

To that end, she soon bought a board and began teaching herself how to DJ. Over the next five years, Pohl progressed from performing at her prom to performing at University of Miami house parties to DJing in clubs. She continually honed her skills and her hard work paid off. She began to gain more traction in the industry.

Now Pohl can proudly call himself a tour DJ. Last spring, she embarked on her first tour, performing in cities across the country. And in August, she played at Lollapalooza, the festival where she first realized her passion for being a DJ. It was undoubtedly a turning point for Pohl. She also released her first single “Body Say” in the summer.

If you asked her, Pohl would proudly say that she is – and actually always has been – a bubbly person. She wanted this quality to be reflected in her first single. “My music, my sound, I feel like everything was kind of like that for the girls,” she told us earlier this year. Her goal in creating her first single (and in the future) is to “create fun dance music that I can listen to in a club and just spend time with my friends.”

The release was a huge success for the professional DJ. But it wasn't her only impressive performance in 2024. This year, she also joined the SI Swimsuit family for her debut film. This experience took her to the beaches of Belize, where she posed for photographer Derek Kettela. It was a momentous moment for Pohl – and for us here at SI Swim. We couldn't have been happier to welcome her into our circle.
