Rhythm N Brews: Where Coffee, Music, and Family Come togeth

How Houston entrepreneur Jasmine “Jazz” Theragood turned her love for music and her grandmother's lessons into a business of her own.

Jasmine “Jazz” Theragood, better known as DJ Theraflu, has spent years bringing people together through music. She's been DJing since 2009, entertaining crowds and creating memorable experiences. Now, she's found another way to connect with people, and this time, it involves a good cup of coffee.

In 2024, Jazz launched Rhythm N Brews Coffee, a Houston-based mobile coffee business that combines her love for music with her passion for hospitality. But her interest in serving people started long before she became an entrepreneur.

At just 11 years old, Jazz spent weekends helping her grandmother, Helen Theragood Woodard, with her catering business in Houston's Third Ward. Those early experiences taught her about hard work, customer service, and the importance of making people feel welcome. Years later, those same lessons would help shape the business she built with her partner, Ty Paddio.

Rhythm N Brews isn't your typical coffee shop. The mobile business brings handcrafted beverages directly to customers at community events, pop-ups, weddings, private parties, and corporate gatherings throughout Houston. Its menu includes specialty lattes made with house-made syrups, cold brew, matcha, and lemonades.

What makes the business different is its connection to music. For Jazz, coffee and music have something in common: both bring people together. Rather than leaving her DJ career behind, she found a way to combine two of her interests into one business. The company's tagline, “Where every sip sets the beat,” captures that idea perfectly.

Since launching in 2024, Rhythm N Brews has continued building its presence in the Houston community, with its social media highlighting events and the addition of a larger coffee trailer.

For Jazz, the business is about more than serving coffee. It's also a reflection of where she came from. The young girl who once helped her grandmother at catering events is now building something of her own, carrying those same lessons about hospitality and treating people right.

From working alongside her grandmother to entertaining crowds as DJ Theraflu, Jazz has taken different parts of her life and turned them into something meaningful.

And whether she's behind the turntables or serving coffee, she's still doing what she's always enjoyed: bringing people together.
