If there is one name that is synonymous with Australian hard dance, a name that conjures up smiles from many dance-floor fanatics… it would be that of DJ Chia. Her sheer determination and talent has led Chia to develop a strong following throughout the nation…turning her into the exciting performer she is today, delivering her trademark sounds to dance floors across Australia.
