WHERE CAN WE HEAR HER PLAY?

She’ll be at the Drake Hotel Underground (1150 Queen West), Friday (May 4), as part of her Never Forgive Action party. She’s also part of the Hiphop Karaoke night at the Boat (158 Augusta), May 10. Later this month she’ll be playing as part of Where’s D’Angelo (May 26), at the Rivoli (332 Queen West).

WHAT DOES SHE PLAY?

“I play a mixture of everything — funk, soul, hiphop, R&B, house, reggae, retro, pop, nu jazz, B-more, baile funk, electro, nu soul, broken beat and future boogie — basically whatever’s good. But at the end of the day I’m a classic hiphop fanatic!”

WHY DOES SHE DJ?

“The love of hiphop! I was addicted to college radio shows and DJ culture, started volunteering at CHRY 105.5FM in the early 90s and later became the assistant music director. I bought turntables from a fellow programmer and began teaching myself how to mix. I’ve been DJing ever since.”
