   About DJ Soul Sister ™
Edited with Chatcake Crumbs
"All the way live since 1994, DJ Soul Sister specializes in rare groove, deep funk, classic old school funk, breaks, underground disco, true school hip hop, D.C. go-go and "real sounds with your behind in mind."

The host of the 15-year running (in July '09) Soul Power show on WWOZ 90.7FM in New Orleans (Saturdays 8-10pm CST) and a live specialty dj artist who has taken the local nightlife by storm, Soul Sister was one of the first US radio DJs to highlight the rare groove format and is one of the few female DJs to spin and mix 100% funk (on 100% vinyl) and related original styles in her live performances.

She's either performed at or been invited to spin at every major music venue or club in New Orleans and people of all ages, races, etc. travel far and near to get down at her now-legendary "right on party situations" and "sound scenes." And her party promotions are designed to be "on the one for fun" and "to pay respect to all of the pioneers and original artists who have shared their music with the people."

Not just a fave on the underground dj circuit, she's also participated in high-profile events like Essence Festival (2008-09), New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (2009) and Voodoo Music Experience (2008-09), and has been invited to open for wide-ranging live local & national acts from Isaac Hayes, the George Duke/Stanley Clarke Project, Chuck Brown & the Soul Searchers and George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic to Jurassic 5, ReBirth Brass Band; the VH1 Hip Hop Honors Tour featuring the Roots, Big Daddy Kane & Biz Markie; Musiq Soulchild, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe and Galactic.

When Hurricane Katrina blew threw her native hometown, she evacuated with 1 bag of clothes and 2 bags of records, and wound up spinning gigs in both New York and Los Angeles (Root Down Club @ Little Temple). Back in New Orleans, she currently hosts several popular weekly parties all dedicated to her deepest crates of funky music.

She's been voted "Best DJ in New Orleans" both in Where Y'at Magazine (2008 Reader's Poll) and Gambit Weekly ("Best of New Orleans" 2007 and 2008 Reader's Polls and '02 Writer's Pick); profiled in the local publications OffBeat Magazine, Gambit Weekly, New Orleans Magazine, Where Y'at ("Best of the Big Easy" '07), New Orleans Living, Times-Picayune and Antigravity Magazine to name a few. And her parties were recently shouted out nationally via Fusicology.com (DJ Top 5, January 2007), Spin magazine's "Spin 101: America's Best Nights Out" section (June & July, 2006), and in URB magazine (September, 2006). And she was the first woman to be featured in the "Record Rundown" section of the globally popular crate diggers journal Wax Poetics (August, 2007).

Also a respected crate digger, she's been hooked on funky music ever since she bought a cut-out LP of Kool & the Gang's Music is the Message, by accident, when she was 6 in 1980.

Hardly in the game for the hipster novelty and popularity that rare groove and funk DJs hold these days, Soul Sister keeps it real by only playing the sounds that move her soul.

Long live the GODFATHER
