She is a DJ and live vocalist with over 20 years of experience across House, Disco, and Queer club culture.

Her mainstage energy has seen her headline and close events and festivals such as Ultra Violet (Mardi Gras), Hed Kandi (Ibiza), Poof Doof, Cloud 9 (Fiji), and Karma Beach Club (Bali). She has featured on releases with international artists including Nicky Romero and Roni Size, and has played and released through iconic club brands such as Ministry of Sound, Glitterbox, Hed Kandi, Kinky Malinki, and Soul Heaven.
