Tell us about this mix:
This mix is a snake shedding it’s skin and eating its own tail. Focus and preciseness. Stunting on your ex. Fantasies and desire. And most importantly, fun!
When did you start DJing?
I began djing the summer of 2015. Before then, I never thought about becoming a dj. But one day a good friend of mine recommended that I play with their mixing software and it’s only gone up from there. Sometimes you gotta experiment and try new things, you just never know!
First gig:
I can’t forget. It was a pretty grim and illegal basement show in Brooklyn. Most of my friends were present, Lots of love and support.
Favorite party ever played:

Fave DJ:
I don’t have a particular favorite at the moment but my sisters dj kenzohoe, dj bronZegoddess and dj jaraw are very unique & talented djs. They understand sound and music very well and never fail to shut shit down.
Fave producer:
Missy Elliot
Pet peeve when DJing:
When I’m raging on my set and the sound guy keeps telling me I have to turn it down turns it up louder
