But DJ Havana Brown was having her doubts prior to the release of We Run The Night.

“When I first dropped it on the Chris Brown tour, it was really nervewracking,” she says.

“Literally a week before tour I was like ‘is it a good song? I don’t know’.

“I was starting to get really nervous about it — what if people hate it?”

As a DJ used to spinning other people’s music, the prospect of launching her own track to a crowd of thousands was daunting.

“Sometimes when you play music that no one’s heard before, people just sort of stand there, not really active,” she says.

“It’s not because they don’t like it but because they haven’t heard the song before.

“And I was just bracing myself for that. But when I played it, it went off and I was really excited by the reaction.”

That moment arguably kicked off what was, according to Brown, “the best year of my life”.

Along with the triple-

platinum electro-house anthem, Brown also received two ARIA nominations.

A RedOne remix of We Run The Night featuring a verse from Cuban-American superstar Pitbull recently hit No.1 on the Billboard dance chart in the US.

Brown has been in the US recently to promote the remixed single and film the alternate video in Miami.

But the song’s success hasn’t come without problems.

Earlier this week the song’s original writers and producers, More Mega (aka Cassie Davis and Snob Scrilla), claimed the RedOne remix had stripped them of their production credit.

“In fact not only did we not have a credit, they saw fit to add four other writers names to the song, a track we wrote entirely by ourselves,” Snob Scrilla tweeted in a four-hour, 50- tweet marathon on Monday evening.

He claimed RedOne, which has produced hits for Lady Gaga and One Direction, had offered to sell More Mega a slice of the production credit.

“Although we toyed with the idea because credit is that precious ... principle has put an end to that idea,” he tweeted.

Brown responded via Facebook claiming More Mega would indeed be paid all royalties due regarding the US release.

“RedOne re-produced the US version and Snobscrilla + Cassie Davies have 100% writer and publishing credit,” she wrote.

“They will always continue to receive ALL the royalties generated for the song worldwide, this has never been taken away from them! The dispute remains open regarding the production (producer) credit for the US release. This is dispute is between the producers.”

Snob Scrilla responded: “Huuuuuge thank you to @djhavanabrown for stepping up and giving us credit...maybe reach out to your mates see if they’ll do the same xoxo.”

Controversy aside, it’s been a whirlwind few years for the artist born Angelique Meunier.

She warmed the crowd for The Pussycat Dolls during their 2009 Australian tour and opened for Barbadian star Rihanna the year before.

“The Pussycat Dolls was my first big, major tour,” Brown says.

“It was a huge step for me because from that, I got the Britney Spears tour.

“That was surreal.

“I was in Europe within a month and touring with Britney and that was exciting.”

More recently, she rates partying latino-style backstage with Pitbull — “They just know how to have fun” — and flying high with another Latin music superstar.

“Enrique (Iglesias) invited me on his private jet, so that was very nice of him,” she laughs.

This year, Brown turns her attention to her official debut album, after six releases in the popular Crave DJ mix series.

She’s working with RedOne and US production whiz-kids, The Cataracs.

“I’ll be working with The Cataracs, who I am obsessed with,” Brown enthuses.

“They famously did (Far East Movement’s) Like A G6, but I actually loved them before Like A G6.

“It’s kind of like hip-hop but the new sound of hip-hop.

“I really like it, I can’t wait to work on some songs with them and I definitely want some of their songs on my album.”

Originally known for her urban-vibed mixes, Brown is keen to ride the current wave of house-inspired pop music on her debut.

“Pitbull was really the first person to go out there and start mixing rap with dance music,” she says.

“But it’s just taken off with Dave Guetta.

“I really like where the music is at right now and I love playing that sort of music — I’m really enjoying myself right now.”

And she’s keen for the Border audience to enjoy her set at Paddy’s next Thursday, in particular the females.

“I like to play anything that will make the girls dance,” Brown explains.

“I want to see the girls dancing because they’re the ones who have taken hours to put on their make-up, their dresses, their clothes on and it’s a special night for them.

“I want to see them dancing, having fun and singing along to the songs.”
