Reppin' Canada for Over a Decade!

About Me

Hailing from Toronto, Canada, MelBoogie is one of the country's best-known female DJs. In a career spanning almost 15 years, she has pushed boundaries and took the road less traveled to raise the bar on what is expected from a female DJ. Her roots are deeply embedded in college radio, formerly at CHRY 105.5FM, where she and partner, DJ Manifest, set the morning airwaves on fire for 6 years. She has also co-hosted several events, including Torontos annual Graffiti Expo, North by NorthEast Indie Showcase, Woman 2 Woman Expo, and has been a speaker/panelist at a variety of music industry conferences. She has also done several television appearances, including Much Music, New Music, MTV Canada, Toronto Life, and Fashion Televisions spin-off, Ooh-La-La.

MelBoogie can be heard weekly on Droppin Dimez (CKLN 88.1FM), every Monday night 11PM to 12:30AM, alongisde JJ Rock and Big G. There, she provides the perfect combination of party, old school, conscious and underground music for the masses. The objective of the show is to promote and break Canadian artists, and some of the best up and coming talent can be heard on a weekly basis.
Also a freelance writer, Mel has had the opportunity to interview some of music's finest artists, including KRS-One, Pharoe Monch, Common, De la Soul, Chamillionaire, Jeru Da Damaja, Goapele, Black Moon, Lil' Kim, Flo'etry and many more. She is also a writer for Honey Magazine, with her own blog representing the T-Dot - check it out at www.honeymag.com. When she's not takin' over the decks, Mel can be found at Soul Choice Entertainment group , Canada's leading urban record pool, where she's the Director of Marketing...check out www.soulchoice.ca for more info...
