I accidentally started to dj. I love music, especially rock, and have been to inumerable concerts in my time, though never aspired to nor ever entertained the idea of being a dj. That seemed as likely to happen as flying to the moon.
It did happen though, albeit very slowly and randomly without any commitment for years, and I love it.
Music with words is my thing. Songs people know and love, many which have a meaningful story of a moment in time. I have played at AUM, Shipwrecked, Kiwiburn, and Ignition festivals, bars and many parties and fundraising events.
DJ bio:
Born from the mosh pits of a legacy of rock concerts and the irreverent Paddock of Kiwiburn, miss mixtape donned her best rock n roll gumboots, sparked up her disco inferno, and brought music with words to festivals, with more sparkle than a mirror ball!
From a wide spectrum of musical influence, she’s been dipping into the 70s, 80s, 90s and the noughties, mastering her craft and developing a unique dance floor style, spinning a fusion of dirty disco and rock classics fused together with sultry house, just like your favourite mixtape from days gone by.
