Atlanta, GA


How did you get your DJ name?

I love Biggie, and I'm small. Lol


First gig as a DJ 

It was a birthday party for a dear friend. I was very nervous but I had so much fun playing for my friends and watching them dance.


Your definition of a DJ

A DJ is someone who curates music for people and spaces


Her advice:


What do you wish more DJs would begin doing or do more of in 2022?

Having fun! And turning on multi factor authentication on their social media.


Pre-gig rituals or practices

I pray! Just like Ciara. :)


Advice to give our DJ readers

The best way to grow as a DJ is to know other DJs. I feel like I have learned from so many great DJs and I thank so many for helping me throughout my career. They are my best source of business and I genuinely hope for the best for everyone!
