The art of music and the ritual of dance are liberating experiences, providing ways for me to simultaneously find and forget myself in hypnotic beats and seamless soundscapes. I love that I am able to contribute to a scene that has given me so much joy, solace, and inspiration.
Selectress came about as my way to both discover and recognize those women who have served to inspire me, and in effect served to Raise the Level for all of us, simply by being their best.
In the mix,

San Diego's female DJ scene is alive and thriving, as it increasingly draws top talent each month, thanks to Red Sonya's devotion to the art of promotion. I am happy to report I will be throwin' down with the SD sisters in the month of May.
Excitement and nervousness toyed with me as I entered the Scratch DJ Academy for my 1st lesson with Turntablist superstars Shortee and Faust. I had signed up for Scratching class, better know as 202. It’s been something I wanted to learn, ever since the academy opened. My expertise has always been in long, smooth blends, and the prospect of learning to scratch offered a new foray into the world of DJing. Being a fan of classes, personal classroom attention in a structured format (to keep me motivated) appealed to me.

For its first year effort the LA Women’s Music Festival at Woodley Park on Saturday, August 26, Females on Fire in conjunction with Gaia Rocks established a well-organized precedent for future festivals to come. Not since the Lillith Fair, has an event taken place to showcase female talent, that also embraced the principles of the Green Era, culminating in a ground-breaking eco-music event powered by solar energy.
