A trained musician since age six, music has been the forefront and paved the path of her journey. Starting with violin, and followed by percussion and some piano, she benefited from ongoing training and exposure throughout her school aged years, which fueled both her creativity and love for all types of music. Watching family members at a young age spin in the Chicago club scene, starting off on T
echnics and watching how they created the energy of the dance floor, all in the while thinking, “Yes, I want and can do that!”
While the demands of schooling, career, and family took over as it tends to do, music remained a priority focus as she kept close watch over the evolution of her favorite genres, in particular house and techno music. When the time was right, she came back out of background and started to play the music that made her fall in love with the genres. Currently, using music in her daily life with her students she changed the way she thought about and interacted with genres of house and techno music. Using and teaching the soul of it to her special needs students has been a priority and matching music with choreography has been another manifestation of creativity. “The most beautiful sight to watch is my daughter dancing to what we created….beauty.”
Born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, she’s played Chicago’s clubs including Spybar, Primary Night Club (Poolhouse), Estate, Fedora Lounge, SC, SSS, Rodan, Crocodile, Studio 200 (Milwaukee) all the while holding a steady residency at Rivers Casino. If you are lucky and the night owl you can see and hear her at various afterhours across the city. Her mixes can also be heard on several radio shows such as Strictly Dance Radio and Underground House TV. Also, she is currently working on projects and tracks with Afterdark Recordings and PhunkJunk Records. Her sound is deep, smooth, and sometimes dark and complex, with soulfulness infused. Depending on her mood, the energy of the dance floor as well as her decision to play the electric violin and drums with her sets shapes and molds the vibe of the room.
“Appreciation of classics is what molds the future of music. It's what moves your soul. Just me doing what I love!
