I'm a veteran in the DJ game, and have been hittin the decks since ’97, playing a vast range of styles over the years - ranging from Funk, Hip Hop, Trip Hop, B-Boy anthems, Electro, House, French Touch, Vaporwave, New Wave Retro, Future Bass, Experimental & Old School Techno, Breaks, Drum N’ Bass, Motown, Classic Rock, Punk, Rockabilly, Indie Rock, Brit Pop, Grunge, Metal, Industrial, Darkwave, and even 60’s, 70’s, 80's and 90’s classics -  at a variety of nightclubs, raves, private parties, fashion shows, fundraisers, conventions, weddings, corporate events, trade shows, craft shows, and so many other kinds of events and venues across Ontario.

As a student at the University of Toronto, I produced my own style of trip hop and hosted a weekly 3 hour radio broadcast called “Back II Basics”, a show about the history of electronic music that ran for 5 years in the early 2000’s, patterning the format off of legendary music historian Alan Cross. I was awarded the Atomic Turntable Award in 2005 from VIBE to celebrate that accomplishment as well as having consistently high listener rates. 

I am also a founding member of the female DJ squad The Diamond DJ Collective, a former resident DJ of Night Drive (later dubbed NoThrills) Saturdays @ Baltimore House, Trainwreck Tuesdays @ Che, as well as a founder and instructor for the Women’s DJ Workshop alongside my super rad pal and fellow femme DJ Donna Lovejoy, which was located upstairs at DrDisc, and offered live nightclub workshops at Absinthe Hamilton. Stay tuned for more details on when I can drop the next workshop one so you can join in - or you can always contact me to see if I’m currently able to offer private lessons.

Currently I have a monthly residency at the Casbah Lounge in downtown Hamilton, every 3rd Thursday of the month with a Trip Hop series called Psyence Fiction, recently celebrating it’s second year. I play all genres of trip hop in a wide range, featuring underground tracks and rarities from around the globe in a chilled-out atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing end of the week hang before the weekend kicks off. I am also a monthly resident at The Mule on King William for their Tacos, Turntables & Tequila nights on Fridays and Saturdays, featuring a rotating crew of the city’s top Hip Hop DJs - my focus for those nights is primarily Hip Hop from the 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s. I am also the official DJ for all Craftadian events, as well being as the annual resident DJ for Hamilton Fashion Week.

I also remain a recurring resident of NoThrills All-Genre Dance Events, as well as a rotating resident of Fascination Dark Dance Events in various venues across the city - currently mostly at &ThenYou (formerly SousBas). I’ve also recently joined in on DJing at Electric Diner’s classic 80’s themed dance parties at the Lister Block location for their special events, like Halloween, New Year’s Eve Prom and Valentine’s Day.

These days, my main focus is mainly on Hip Hop, Trip Hop, Classic House, French Touch, Electro, Indie Rock, Old School & Post Punk, as well as retro hits from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s and still maintain a heavy use of vinyl, but I’ve recently added Serato to my arsenal and am delving deep into the digital landscape. Feel free to reach out on my contact page for bookings and a quote - and YES, I’ll do weddings, private and corporate events (but only if they’re super fun vibes)!
