DJ SOUL SISTER UPTOWN

DJ ARTIST

WHAT YOU LOVE ABOUT WHAT YOU DO When I'm performing on stages, I love the process and skill of mixing live, which you have to do by ear when using vinyl. When I'm doing my "Soul Power" show on WWOZ FM, I love sharing music that makes me feel good and makes listeners feel good. When I'm lecturing about music or teaching my class, I love educating people about topics that may be new to them. WHAT ABOUT NEW ORLEANS INSPIRES YOU? The fact that New Orleanians care about our history, our people, and the things that make us unique from everywhere else. SOMETHING PEOPLE WOULD BE SURPRISED TO KNOW I'm pretty shy, but not as painfully shy as I used to be. FAVORITE MUSEUM Treme's Petit Jazz Museum FAVORITE NEW BUSINESS Baldwin & Co. FAVORITE THING TO DO HERE TO RELAX Record shopping FAVORITE ALBUM OF ALL TIME Music Is the Message by Kool & The Gang ADVICE TO YOUR TWENTY-YEAR OLD SELF My 20-year-old self was ahead of the game, so I'd tell her to continue making your own lane and doing your own thing.
