By day, I am a Producer who writes and creates my own music. By night, I am a DJ who plays my productions and remixes at the clubs. I am currently hard at work launching my brand, so I'll be able to offer competitive pricing.
I have been a DJ for years, starting to spin publicly around 2006. I have opened for many reputable names such as Louie DeVito, DJ Skribble, Clinton Sparks, and the Disco Fries, amongst others. Within the last 2 years, I came out as Trans, and have been working to rebrand myself and reconnect with people that I've met over the years. Over the 2020 shutdown, I took up Music Production to compliment my Music career, and expand on my creative expressions. I am now into my 2nd year of music production.
I would like to offer my services for low and fair prices. Producers with many years of experience will definitely charge you more. I may even be selling myself short, but I'll let you be the judge of that. I normally Mix & Master my own productions, but if you prefer to have someone else to do that, that is fine. I do have many high end software tools that most of the Pro's use, but I can still send you the dry stems; but feel free to tip me if you like my master better.
The bottom line is, if your looking for a Producer for your project and you enjoy my sounds, I'm your girl!
Main genres: Future Bass, Future House, Moombahton, Bass House, Dance Pop, Indie Pop, Tropical/Reggaeton, Trap, Hip Hop, etc (and more).
