Let’s just say…I love music.

I played the piano for 10 years growing up and also took up the flute in middle school. I used to play in church choir and for weddings, on top of being part of a super competitive high school marching band (hey it’s a thing in Texas). In college I marched in the University of Texas Longhorn Band and got to go to all the football games for free. #hookem

Post college, as I meandered into my young adult professional work life, I needed something to connect me to music. So I got into streaming independent radio stations and had a few online shows (most notably Bad Girl Beats on Radio Valencia). That’s how I met my good Friend Sergio who showed me how to mix more than a decade ago, and I became a DJ!

My personal Soundcloud can be found here. These are mixes of me playing from various dive bars and events solo. Together Sergio and I are The BeDazzlers. You can find those mixes here. I basically bedazzle us some AMAZING tops for impeccable stage presence while we play out and about. I am also a founding member of the local Italo-Disco party, Galaxy Radio which played bi-monthly at the Knock Out (pre-COVID). I have played anything from disco nights at dive bars, to happy hour events at the Academy of Sciences or for SF Magazine, to a stage at SF Pride. I am happy to be back in Austin where I realized my love of live music. Maybe I’ll DJ here someday? 😉
