GINJA me! It's my birthday! ðŸ¤
|
What a weekend! I'm still coming off of a birthday high—from welcoming Vigro Deep to Chicago with KAxG, to bringing the hot, expensive, AND liberated energy to the first ASHAWO—my heart is FULL! This rotation around the sun I am in gratitude for you all truly seeing me through the music. Last weekend I went to global dance party Everywhere Between in hopes of getting out of a muddy energy and met four different supporters who showed me so much love! Working in this here local music industry is no small thing, especially as a woman! It has its ups and downs—and truthfully the past year has tested me— but it's people like you sharing event flyers, buying tickets to my shows, and sharing words of encouragement that keeps me going! It's going to be a spicy summa (and spring)! Speaking of a spicy spring, GINJA is having its first show in Chicago and I need to see you there! Creator Ethan Tomas has taken his Brooklyn-based show on the road and is bringing a special night rooted in the electric sounds of Africa and the Caribbean to Three Top Lounge. I've looked up to Ethan and this party for so long and I'm beyond excited to be a part of it this Saturday. Catch you on the dance floor!
ASHAWO!Playing ASHAWO Saturday night was absolutely the highlight of my weekend (and year so far)! Shoutout to Grace, Yaw and AQUVFINA for booking me for this party and organizing an amazing night! Some of you have already asked me if there will be more and I'm sure Ashawo HQ are cooking something up for summer! Welcome to the DyasphereI'm back with another vlog playing my first Moneygun set, seeing Heavy-K perform in Chicago and at my first Bandlab event! Let me know what you want to see more of in the comments.
Vigro DeepLet me tell you about Vigro Deep! At his Chicago show, the man, the myth, the legend did not only DJ—he played live piano with the music he spinned. This is a level of production I pray I embody one day! I loved setting the early groove for the show and it was lovely playing at such a grand space like Artifact Events. There's plenty more to come for me this summer so stay on the lookout! I hope you enjoyed this newsletter. Was this sent to you by a friend? Make sure to subscribe and read past newsletters.

It was so hard keeping this hush! Next week I'll be opening up for amapiano innovator, producer, and DJ Vigro Deep! I've loved playing his ultra tech and unique tracks in my amapiano sets over the years so opening up for him is such a dream. 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!
