'Eventually, that brought me to playing Rumors for the first time when I was 18 or 19. That was my first club gig. I was so excited because it was the party I loved going to with my little fake ID.'
. Going out, I didn’t hear a sound that sounded like the music that I grew up listening to—you know, a lot of house and rap and R&B. I felt like there wasn’t a spot for that in the DIY rave scene, and I was like, “Yeah, let’s make a spot for yourself!” I never knew that it was gonna become something big. I just thought of it as another way to express myself.
Not gonna lie, I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t really know how to play on CDJs or anything. At that point, I made all my mixes with Audacity. They were preprogrammed. I didn’t know how to mix in real life. I was completely self-taught, and this was a way of DJing that I just didn’t know, and I had to learn on the fly. But I always had a certain energy I was going for, even then. It was crazy to come full circle and be invited to be part of the Rumors crew years later. I love them so much.
I just keep getting more imaginative. Lately, my style has grown into something a little more electronic. I still love the club sound—I will always call myself a club DJ. But lately I’ve been trying to pull in brighter sounds from electronica. And I think blends are so fun. I love to have a smarter blend, then throw out some real random shit. I’ve also been listening to a lot of electroclash. There’s so many inspirations everywhere.Hosted by Irregular Girl and Tiki Vonté.
It’s honestly the most self-reflective part of me—but it’s funny. It’s so funny to me. Also, more Black people should express their sexuality. I feel like we don’t because we are often fetishized in some weird fucking way. To take my own sexuality back and put it into a character that’s also some of who I am . . . that’s so fun. I’m stepping outside of myself every single time I perform. I’m embracing and trying to liberate myself.
