About Me


DJ Casual Ish (born in B.C.), is a musician and deejay. At 11 years old Casual Ish was told she was incharge of the music at her oldest brother's parties. She was a great choice due to her music knowledge, specifically hip hop, rap, funk, reggae, and soul. The frequent late nights/early mornings became tiresome and job like without proper pay, but not long after it all developed into a real interest and passion of hers. At 14, through various jobs she was able to aquire the funds to invest in her own turntables. As she began to please the masses, she was invited to a number of different venues; the size of her brother's parties increased and so did her exposure and skill. DJ Casual Ish continues to tour both North America and Europe. She plans to further expand to other continents in the future. -
