dj salty, rebecca cherkoss, hails from the west coast of north america. a collector of vinyl since the mid 80s's, rebecca spent the majority of her time hanging out in LA dj shops, club hopping and listening to lots of radio, especially the early hip hop pioneer--- K-DAY am radio.

Always the one to control the tunes at any party, rebecca began entertaining audiences at college parties with one turntable, a cd player and a tape deck. hey now! soon after rebecca's migration to san francisco in 96, the aspriring dj got her first pair of technics 1200s, a long way from the fischer price turntable she received at age 5.

But first, a tag! was needed. while using the name Queen B, rebecca discovered that lil' kim was also using the moniker, so she decided to go for something more sublime.....salty was the winner
