I’m excited to share my journey towards the rave community as it is closely connected to my experiences during my upbringing. My humble background stems from the fact that my parents moved here with big dreams and a determination to build a better life. During my childhood it was continually reinforced that with hard work you can accomplish anything. This belief deeply shaped my values and pushed me to always push myself to be a top student. My tenacity throughout my school years created a path towards building infrastructure. After graduating high school, I was able to pursue a career in Engineering.
During my time in college, long hours in the library led me to explore music as a way to stay focused. This journey introduced me to lo-fi live streams, which eventually evolved into an appreciation for house music. Once I discovered the world of EDM, I was completely hooked! I saved enough money to go to my first festival (Crush) which eventually led to me attending EDC in 2014! Since graduating in 2018, I have been fortunate enough to visit countless festivals which only deepened my love for the rave community. There’s something magical about the high energy and atmosphere that makes every festival an unforgettable experience.
Even though I pursued a career in engineering right after college, I found myself drawn to rave over the weekend. At each festival, I'd carry a backpack filled with all the essentials—earplugs, vitamins, a first aid kit, and more. My experience at each festival taught me how important it was to drink water in addition to supporting your body with the right nutrients. This knowledge naturally led me to be the “rave mom” and I always made sure to remind my friends to drink plenty of water. Seeing everyone immersed in the rave while knowing I played a part in their well-being was incredibly fulfilling. The joy I get from helping others reflects the values of responsibility that my parents instilled in me. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to contribute to a community that means so much to me. The EDM scene holds a special place in my heart because it’s a space where judgment fades away, and everyone is free to express themselves!

After being part of the rave community for so long, I started to notice something that bugged me: there weren’t really any electrolyte products designed for ravers/party goers. Most of what was out there was aimed at athletes or general hydration, but I found that these products didn’t quite fit the unique needs of the EDM scene. I ended up mixing and matching various products to get the right balance of electrolytes and vitamins. It felt like a never-ending puzzle, with constant adjustments and a long shopping list of things to buy ahead of time. It was a bit of a hassle and it felt like staying healthy at festivals was turning into a chore.
In 2023, I threw myself into developing a solution that combines the perfect blend of vitamins and electrolytes into one product. And let me tell you, it’s been amazing seeing how this M2O blend has helped not just my friends but also my family since then. It’s exciting to think that my product could help make staying hydrated fun and effortless, adding a bit more ease and enjoyment to the incredible community we’ve built.
So, here’s to making every beat count and ensuring that you can fully immerse yourself in the joy of raving with one less thing to worry about. I’m excited to be a part of this journey with you, and I hope M2O keeps you energized all night long and helps you bounce back quickly the next morning.
M2O means “More Than Water” — because hydration should actually do something for you.
Created for festival lovers, wellness seekers, and those who push their limits, M2O delivers real hydration and recovery support when you need it most. Our unique blends of electrolytes and natural ingredients help replenish, restore, and keep you going — even after the longest nights. M2O is more than just a drink. It’s a ritual, a recharge, and a lifestyle.
