DJ Spotlight: Blender Girl

DJ NAME:  Blender Girl

SHOW NAME: Seismic Booty

TUNE IN: Every other Tuesday 2-4pm

BRIEF BIO: I love hula hooping, rock climbing, dancing to most genres of music and building community through art, music and culture. Got my DJ name cuz I once had a bike powered blender, and have been known to travel with a Vitamix, ready to make green smoothies at every turn. Bred by New Yorkers, and raised at the beaches and in the malls of Los Angeles, I loved nerding out on the latest in the LA music scene, and grew up on a mix of AM and FM, listening to Jim Ladd’s The 7th Day on KLOS, and New Wave music on KROQ in LA. My DJ influences include Joe Frank, Jason Bentley,  Rachel Steele and Dr. Demento. 

WHAT CAN LISTENERS EXPECT FROM YOUR SHOW?: 2 hours of new and classic, neo and iconic soul, R&B, house and disco music from a DJ who wants nothing more than to get you dancing.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE KZMU SHOW?: Jah Morning, KZMU Local News, Fire on the Mountain

IF YOU WERE A PIECE OF OUTDATED AUDIO EQUIPMENT WHAT WOULD YOU BE AND WHY?:  Reel to Reel tape, cuz I’m good at synthesizing what I hear and when tossed around my curls get tangled too.
