I'm not sure if it was announced anywhere officially, so I'll just tell you now...
I will have the honor of DJing on the KARE 11 float in the Twin Cities Pride parade tomorrow 😍🥰
It's a pool party themed float and i guess i'm gonna be the lifeguard! They're giving me a whistle and everything, which kinda makes me wanna play nothing but 90s UK Rave stuff. Don't worry though it'll be fun and eclectic as always 😊
Hope you can make it!!

So, months and months ago Joe Avey Sadowski hmu with a beat for a potential collab. I gave it some wub wub. I knew I wanted to add cuts, then summer got stupid busy, and by the time I figured out the concept for the cuts and video, I was like “this is a Halloween track, and next week is Halloween”
So here we are
Well, here I go…
I need to tell you all something. A lot of you already know. If you don’t, this might be a surprise.
I am trans. (She/her)
It’s something I’ve known about myself and actively hidden from everyone in my life since at least the age of 8. Up until 1 year ago (remember when I finally shaved the beard?) I fully intended to take the secret to my grave. I tried so hard to not be this way. I tried every possible way to rationalize or explain it away. But it never worked. I hid it from people who I knew would be supportive because I didn’t want to be encouraged. Ultimately though, it’s part of me, it has influenced every decision I’ve ever made because I was so preoccupied with not being found out, not acting too feminine. It was the silent killer of every relationship. I never allowed myself to be too ambitious. I went through life feeling like an NPC, or a spectator, not actually engaged with my own life. Literally the only times I ever felt happy, or even fully alive were when I’d be DJing.
So here I am. Completely out of energy to hide it anymore. I started HRT in March of this year. It’s been going better than I ever imagined. I’ve lost 50 pounds in the last year and a half. My blood pressure is the best it’s ever been. Everyone in my life tells me they’ve seen a major shift in my mood. I feel lighter both literally and figuratively. I feel happy.
I know some of you will have a problem with this, and if this is where our friendship or familial relationship ends, so be it. I don’t want to sound harsh, but I really don’t care to listen to anyone else’s complaints or concerns about this. It’s my life, and I’m not harming anyone. I am well informed on everything I’m doing. My immediate family and close friends are all incredibly supportive. I have a great doctor, a great therapist. I am good.
In terms of music, I see this as onward and upward. I’m considering a re-brand, at least partially. Depending on how this announcement goes, I may or may not delete this account and start fresh. We’ll see. I may also turn my phone off for the rest of the night after posting this, in case you’re wondering why I’m not responding immediately. Thank you to everyone who’s been there for me so far.
With all that, I guess there’s nothing else left to say. Except…
Hello world, my name is Kayla 🙂

Hey friends!
I know I've been quiet lately but I've been working hard on my new video turntablism project. I recorded my most recent live set and it's now up and ready for viewing. It's all originals and remixes set to video, recorded live in 1 take. There's a weird edit at the 29 minute mark because of a copyright strike.
I'll post the link in the comments!
