DJ Uphloria started spinning in the late 90's. First as a hobby to release some steam and then to her surprise...something more than just a hobby. She opened a MYSPACE account so she could network with a number of DJ's...asking questions, getting feedback and building a friendships with people in the industry that she wants to be a part of. In only a few short months and a lot of helpful people along the way, she was able to land a few gigs at small locations within the Toronto area. "It wasn't the kind of music I wanted to be playing...but it was a great experience playing in front of people and getting use to the crowd. I just wanted more!!" In September 2006, she was able to help out a friend for a Fundraiser "Doctors Without Borders" where she opened with a 45 minute set to get the night started. It was her first time letting people hear what she had to offer. The reviews came in and they were very positive!! That was the moment where she decided that somehow, some way...she was going to be a "career" DJ!! Uphloria's taste in music ranged from Progressive / Epic Trance to Hard House. As her taste in music developed and she became more familiar with the different forms of House music...she found herself gravitating towards a very Progressive House / Tribal and Progressive Trance genres. She has alot of goals for herself, including becoming a household name in the music industry and in the future will be doing a different set of networking when she starts Producing. "For the first time in my life...I can actually see making a career for myself." With influences such as Kenneth Thomas, Paul Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyk, Junkie XL and to many more to name, she knows she has the connections to move forward in the industry and learning from the best. Watch for her upcoming "debut" at Fluid Lounge in early spring where she will be showing off all that she has learned, and giving back to the lovers of house music the support that they have shown her and making new friends along the way.
