Her taste, style and technical ability has landed her on countless “top female DJ” lists as well as the highly respected Source Magazine “25 Women to Watch” list for 2014.
Her foundation was built growing up as a classically trained dancer, listening to soul/funk/jazz cuts from her mother's impeccable record collection, digging for any proper hip hop she could get her hands on, and during her teen years, attending Low End Theory. All of these things combined provided her with a well-rounded taste and understanding of good music.
She is currently a member of HW&W Records and ATHLETIXX (a crew consisting of DJ Hoodboi, Falcons, & Promnite).
While continuing her tour schedule, KITTENS is working on her own production, remixes, guest DJing for radio shows, curating music for fashion brands, as well as teaching a series of All Girls DJ Courses.
