❤️ This is for the REAL lovers..


It's been two years since I released a mix. This is for late night drives, late night loving AND late nights thinking about your crush.. for sexy time with your boo AND sexy time with yourself. Sexy & soulful tunes mixed with love-because love is everywhere. Enjoy. 🤭


Let's Dance!

I can finally share I'm playing my first set at Moneygun's Sidedoor this month! It's very important to me that Chicago has more places to hear a diversity of African music on any given night. You showing up will help these spaces continue to exist here—especially at a time where our beloved venues, like The Promontory, no longer exist. Get your free RSVP, share on social media, and send to a friend or two. I hope I see you there!

This season is all about more transparency. A fraught topic for me is how people perceive what being a working DJ is and the reality of being in this line of work. I've been vlogging so you all can see what a typical work week looks like for me. It's definitely not all glamorous, but I'm having so much fun bringing you all along!

Join me and JAMA! creators KAxG for a night to remember this Thursday—plus it'll be an early night for those of you that have work in the morning. Win-win!

It's Friday again and I'm in literal awe that we're already almost done with Q1. I typically mark the new year as my birthday and I'm hoping to have a way better year (and birthday) than I've had the past three. It's been rough for many of us and music has been the one thing to keep me going. On my birthday weekend this year, I'm ecstatic to be on the lineup for a new party series ASHAWO, a space to shake nyash to Alté, Afro-house, and Afrobeats with African and diasporic queer folks!
