About Me

I've been Djing since 1997, started off mixing on Gemini BD-10s & a Jazzy Jeff mixer then after seeing the Invisbl Skratch Piklz perform Klamz uv Deth in Oakland, I was so determined to learn how to skratch and express myself in that form of Hip Hop. I was also determined to step up my game and buy better equipment! Let's just say that night at Planet Rock was a turning point as a hungry teen. Since then, DJing has always been a way for me to be creative with my life and share music with people. In 2001, I started DJing out with my DJ-partner-in-crime, Deeandroid and today--we call ourselves "The Deuce Crew" (shout out to Masaye!). From being a regular to Deco's Beat lounge (the dopest spot for DJs/music lovers/Hiphoppas in the late 90s), to DJing for KRS-ONE and touring the U.S., to placing at DMC USA Team 2009 as the first all woman DJ band, I'd say it's been a great adventure and it ain't over! I'm thankful for all that I've been blessed with, especially for this gift of music. I've been inspired by all the artists I've come across and also by all the people who live outside the box!! One of the most important insights I've learned along this journey comes from another Hiphop mama, Asia 1, and also from Slum Village and that's "DO YOU...cause I'm a do me."
