Happy New Year!

I hope everyone closed out 2013 on a high note and you are ready to take this New Year on!

2013 was great for me and I must thank YOU for that! Your support is priceless. I always aim to bring quality music, mixes, and events wherever I go. This would not be possible without your support and I will continue to make this a priority!

This month is definitely no exception. I have 3 really great events happening this month that I’m very excited about!

This Thursday, January 9th, is the next installment of Shouting at the Screen! Wyatt Cenac and Donwill are back at it again – bringing you a hilarious Blaxploitation film with special guest commentary, while I lay down a soundtrack of soulful and funky grooves to get your ready to laugh and shout!

Make sure you buy your tickets to guarantee a seat!

Saturday, January 18th, I’m back with the awesome gents of Hip Hop Karaoke! If you’ve never been, it is guaranteed a fun time. You can sing along to your favorite Hip Hop jams (of which there are hundreds to choose from) from the safety of the crowd or for the truly bold, right on stage! No need to be the next Kendrick or Drake to rock the crowd. Just bring your enthusiasm!

I’ll be laying down a nice set to get the night started and I’ll be the DJ to all who sign up!       Buy your tickets in advance! The last Hip Hop Karaoke did sell out!

Ace Hotel has teamed up with music website OkayFuture to do a series of Lobby Nights every Monday in January, where DJs, artists, and producers will present a lot of great music. I’ll be closing out the month with DJ Eko and special guest producer Mystress!

Check the flyer for the lineup and click here to learn more about the DJs and artists participating!

Finally, you can also catch me at my home, Alice’s Arbor, this Friday, January 10th and Friday, January 24th. It’s always a fun and chill way to kick off your weekend. Amazing food, delicious cocktails, and dope tunes spun by yours truly!

We ended a great summer in NYC with Makossa BK! One of my most favorite Makossa BK’s ever! The music and the people as always were top-notch. Great vibes. Thanks again for your support and we look forward to next summer’s Makossa BK. We’re also working on some things so hopefully, you won’t have to wait so long….

Check out the photos here!

I guess I didn’t want summer to end because here I am in Sunny (and rather hot!) California for the next week! I’m spinning in both SoCal and The Bay Area so definitely spread the word to your Left Coast peoples.

I return to NYC Sunday, September 15th, where I’ll hop off the plane and head straight to Bed Vyne Brew Shop to spin a set to allow you wind down from the weekend and get ready for the new week ahead!

Check out flyers for my SD and LA dates below. As for The Bay Area goes, I’ll be spinning with my Makossa BK brother-in-arms Wonway at Madrone Art Bar on Friday!!!!

Follow me on Facebook and Twitter to keep up to date on my Cali (and other) gigs! I’m definitely hoping to add a couple of more parties to the mix while I’m out here. Cali is a second home and I am too excited to be here!

Spinning alongside DJs hailing from all parts of the US! Mamabear, Adriana, and I are taking over Beatnick’s night at Bar Dyamite and we are going to blow it out the frame!

I spun a set at Motown on Mondays at Brooklyn Bowl in July and it was so dope! Motown and the countless music that it inspired? YES! I’ll be spinning with Monalisa and DJ Phatrick. ALL of the MoM DJs from NY to Cali are dope as hell so this should be a great night to start the week off with :).

I’ve been a busy bee lately. This is why. In addition to organizing, after taking a year off, I’m DJing this year’s Donuts are Forever!

The lineup is amazing. Our special guest DJ is JUST BLAZE!

I’m so excited. If you haven’t purchased your ticket yet, please do so. You’ll avoid a long wait trying to cop at the door.
