About DJ Queen
Courtney (Queen of the Turntables), initially came from a non-musical background in the Healthcare Field. This self taught Musical Engineer, Producer and Female Disc Jockey has always had a thing for great sound and music production. Born in Washington D.C, “Queen” began collaborating with local producers and artists to gain and exchange knowledge and skills in regards to recording, editing, mixing, and mastering.

She further mastered the art of music production by putting in long nights and hours with well known local drummer and rising Producer, “Chop Beatz”. Under his guidance, Courtney began to develop a greater understanding of extensive technical detail of recording equipment, engineering, and acoustics.
