Respect presents Thursday June 5.2008 Empress Contagious Musiq.NycFor over 11 years, I've been smashing clubs worldwide under the name Dj Empress. I grew up in New York City, New York and have lived in Brooklyn for the past 10 years.... . I've toured all over Europe and Asia many times (Eastern Europe has some amazing festivals & I love playing in the UK) I've also played almost every major city in North America (I With that being said, I am not just a drum n bass DJ-- I play hip hip, electro, funk, soul, 80s, 90s, disco & anything bumpin.

MC Kay Almost FamousFrom the time Kay could speak she was singing. Along with dancing, playing the piano, acting and basically anything artistic. She was always looking for the next concert, talent show or choir to join. As her astrological sign Leo, she couldn’t be more cliché. Artistic, loves the spotlight, stubborn, bursting with energy and consistently smiling. All of these factors added up when she graduated from school at the age of 17 and decided to move from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia to the complete opposite side of Canada to pursue her music career. It became even clearer to family and friends that she was driven to succeed. Voted most likely to be famous in her high school yearbook I believe they were on to something… It was a year and half and Kay's music had developed remarkably. Her sound is powerful, yet sultry. Her lyrics tell the story that only an old soul could know. She puts words to the emotions that flow through our minds, hearts and souls. Shortly after moving to Victoria British Columbia, Kay started to concentrate more on becoming a drum & bass vocalist & MC. Still pursuing her pop music along side. Kay says “Being a female pop artist doesn’t limit me to just that genre! You are only limited by your own views and ideasâ€. Kay’s musical background ranges from Marilyn Manson to Aretha Franklin and every thing in between. “I think this is what creates originality and it creates a balanced artist. Like the saying goes, “the wise man knew that he knew nothing at allâ€, I am always looking for new ways to learn from other artists. I try to have the open mind of a new comer and the confidence of an accomplished artistâ€. In 2005 Kay teamed up with Vancouver’s number one Dj, Dj B Traits to form the first female drum & bass duo. Two years later with numerous shows, world tours and a drum & bass album in the works this is only the beginning for this talented Canadian.plus Noface Machete Resident MC XYZ 18+ Special Event Located at the ECHOPLEX 1154 Glendale Blvd. Los Angeles, CA.90026 www.attheecho.com$10 21+ / $15 18+ 10P-2A2 Full Service Bars for 21+ W/ID Outdoor Smoking Area State of the Art Sound & Lighting Giant Video Screens*Early Arrival Suggested* For More Info Call: 310.281.9595 or 323.969.5993*Spread the Love*
