First female to not only place, but win the Winter Music Conference International DJ Spin-off (Miami 2008)
A turntablist, musician, and vocalist, Shaden, aka Lady Sha, continuously returns home to LA a citizen of the world as reflected in her eclectic DJ sets. Gracing stages both nationally and internationally, Lady Sha is one of the world's top female DJ's. Most recently, she became the first female to win the annual Winter Music Conference DJ Spin-off in WMC history (Miami 2008).
Born in Iran and raised in Los Angeles, Shaden was exposed to a wide range of music from an early age. Her training in turntablism began while attending UC Berkeley as a double-major in pre-med and anthropology. Upon graduating, she turned her focus completely onto music. Spinning heated hip hop sets fused with dancehall, soul, middle eastern, and global sounds, she has moved dancefloors worldwide. One of the few female DJ's rocking parties in Jamaica yearly and the first female DJ to spin live on South African radio airwaves (2004 southern Africa tour), Lady Sha engraves her signature in the music and nightlife industries universally.
Currently, Lady Sha innovates the nightlife experience of LA through her special events firm, LionessLA while also touring SF/NY/Miami/Vegas and cities around the globe.
