  1. When did you start DJing/producing? What sounds or scenes shaped your taste early on? What keeps you coming back to sound as a medium?

    Music was always something I saw myself pursuing. I started DJing through a program called “Your Shot.” It was pretty cool because we got professionally trained, connected with other DJs and then had a chance to play our own set at Elsewhere. Aesthetics/underground culture shaped my taste very early on. What makes me come back to sound as a medium is just the feeling of it. I love seeing people let go and be free on the dancefloor.

  2. How has your sound changed over time — and what shaped those shifts?

    I think my sound has changed overtime simply because I am to experiment more. I started out mixing one or two genres when really I didn’t have to box myself in. What shaped these shifts were definitely watching other DJ sets and spending hours on SoundCloud trying to find the perfect edits/flips. Being able to watch footage of myself also gave me an opportunity to see what really works.

  3. What does “a safer dancefloor” actually mean to you (before, during, after the night)?

    “A safer dancefloor” means creating a space where people can be themselves, have fun, connect and feel comfortable throughout the night. This should always be a no judgement zone.

  4. In what ways does identity show up in your creative work?

    I think my identity shows up in my creative work in a lot of ways. My DJ style is very expressive to who I am down to style, taste and what I like visually. I consider myself as a hello kitty alter ego lol. Where cute meets club chaos.

  5. When people listen back to your radio set, what do you hope stays with them?

    When people listen back to my radio set, I hope my blends and track selection stick with them. I want listeners to hear tracks they’re familiar with while also being put on to new sounds.
