My Interests

MOM LIKES
Reggae Music, Rastafari, Conscious Parenting and Livity, Homebirth, Waterbirth, Biology, Bay Area runnings, and more sleep

BABY LIKES
being busy 24/7, asserting early independence, the playground, mad amounts of cheese, snacks, books, blocks, animals, blowing kisses, picking flowers, bubbles, music and waking up at 6am for the day

I'd like to meet:


I want to BIG UP all my fellow DJs, my DJ elders and all DJs who laid it down before me, carried endless, mad heavy crates, and tore up the dancehalls till morning.

I feel blessed and honored to have played next to some of my favorite DJs

Big Up I-Vier, Dole, Yzer, Shortkut, Apollo, Fuze, Papa Lote HI-FI, Doogie & Bravo - TNT, Polo, Rolo, Mpenzi, Smokey, Corbett, Spliff Skankin & Robert Rankin - Massive Sound International, Jenicyde, All Empress Sound DJs, Lenoir, TOKS, DJ Jacque, DJ Barry, Neta, Zita, Daniella, Pam The Funkstress, Bella, Shania D, Mama L and all DJs who supported the store. Respect!

Music:

I like conscious modern roots and current jiggy dancehall
