Peep their quick Q+A below:

Place you'd like to play:

I’d like to get the chance to play somewhere dark and scary, like a dark club in Berlin or totally contrary like a giant beach party in Ibiza.

When did you start DJing?

Spring/Summer 2015

First gig:

New World Dyorder’s second party at Crate in Downtown Oakland. A party called .WAV .

Favorite party ever played:

I have two fave parties for two separate reasons; one where a bunch of ppl came (Quay Dash and Scorpion Warrior also played) and my computer had a seizure, I literally pulled songs out of my ass. Another, where I did an amazing set but nobody was really at the event but I had a blast playing for the few people who showed up. It was one of my most fun sets at Qilombo and I didn’t think to record it so it was like an awesome lived experience.

Fave DJ:

Venus X, I briefly interned for her and helped out with finding dope music, even then she was someone I really looked up to as an artist and just straight up go getter. I also have been inspired by people like Honey Dijon.

Favorite record you've ever bought:

Fiona Apple, “When the pawn”. Paper Bag was my favorite on that. It just really spoke to me at the time, I was very angsty, and young.

Pet peeve when DJing:

When people interrupt to chat me up when I’m trying to mix. Like it’s actually really hard to carry on a conversation.

What’s the best compliment you’ve ever gotten?

That I was a goddess and that it felt as though I put a spell on the dance floor.

Something you want everyone to know about you:

That through music I have finally found a sense of belonging, and a way to express myself to the world and that I am thankful.
