IT-GIRL Paris Hilton has started her summer job in Ibiza as resident DJ at Amnesia nightclub, and has wise words about the economic crisis.
The hotel chain heiress says: “I work because I enjoy it. I think we just have to work harder and harder and not think so much about the financial crisis.”
Creator of the party 'Foam and Diamonds', which brings in over 5,000 clubbers every night dancing through to the early hours, Paris' first session at Amnesia was just over two hours long and served as the ideal chance to present her new dance video, High off my love.
She appeared wearing a silvery sequin-covered 'dress' which only covered her 'modesty' and left little to the imagination, and uploaded photos and videos on Instagram which she captioned declaring how 'proud' she was to be DJ-ing on the same island as some of the world's best mixers.
Despite being a regular feature of the Ibizan summer club scene, Paris has so far failed to be taken seriously as a DJ and is treated as someone who sells club tickets purely because of who she is, rather than what she does.
Even famous Pacha DJ Joan Ribas, deputy mayor of Ibiza town council on the independent left-of-the-centre party Guanyem, has called her a 'fake'.
“This is what I enjoy doing – when I get up in front of the mixing desk and see so many happy people, I find it really exciting,” Paris reveals.
“I've worked and studied hard to become a DJ, and I'm always surprised that so many people say bad things about me without even knowing what I do, or knowing me personally.”
She was not referring specifically to Joan Ribas, as she does not know him and had not heard his qualification of her abilities.
Paris is probably one of Ibiza's best-paid DJs – between photo shoots and club sessions, which will continue until September 12 and will be the longest she has spent on the island in one hit in her three-year DJ career, her 'unofficial' fees total €260,000 per season.
