“Looking back at more than 20 years of nightlife, I wouldn’t want to miss anything I’ve experienced, because it got me to where I am right now. I have traveled trough different styles – house, break beats, drum and bass, techno..., because music has no boundaries.”

As a daughter of a Swiss mother and a Ghanaian father, Ajele was born and raised in Switzerland, where, at the age of eighteen, she got introduced to the electronic music scene and realized there were hardly any female DJs. Now that was something she strived to change! The decision was made and the first records, decks and a mixer where bought. Vinyl shopping became an addiction and playing them a passion. Since 1996 she’s an inherent part of Zurich’s electronic music scene.

2002 she started as a promoter with the label Chicks behind the Decks - a wake- up call for female DJs all over the country, to arrange numerous events and live performances across a wide spectrum of electronic music. This activity got her in touch with similar organizations all around the globe; new contacts were made and new projects born.

2004 was her first summer in Ibiza and for three seasons Ajele played five nights a week at the bar Lo Cura, one of the coolest hangouts in town. It would get her the attention of several promoters and on their booking lists. For instance, she became a regular for We love Sundays, Mulletover, Electric Lady Land, Tim Sheridan and Smoking Jo’s Nasty Dirty Sex Music at Space, Manumission at Privilege, Underground and Blue Marlin.

2007 Looking for inspiration in music and life, she moved to London for a year and back in Zurich, became a resident of the popular Hive-Club and a regular at Cabaret-Club (where she was hosting the event I feel you together with her good friend Susanna Grippo).

In 2008 she started producing her own tracks and teamed up with Klaus Amrein (aka Cooky) to form the project KREIS ZWEI. 2009 they received the "Electronic" award at the M4Music Demotapeclinic Contest.

In the past 10 years she took a step back from traveling abroad but she still has her regular gigs within the Swiss clubs and festivals. She is also a regular at the beautiful Kasheme living room, where she developed her smooth side. Playing her eclectic interpretation of a chillout set.

Her versatile and solid music style has given her many opportunities to open the night. Warming up the floor is her strength!
