I've been peelin up on dancefloors across Western Canada for over a decade now. With a collection of ripe tracks, tasty edits, occasional originals, choice acapellas, and a MPC full of sonic goodies, I strive to cater a tastefully unique experience to every environment I am invited to play.

With a signature blend of Bass music, Hip-Hop, Halftime, DnB, UKG, Grime, House, Funk, and everything in-between, I'll keep the dancefloor bumpin all day or night. I'm a seasoned DJ, hobby beat maker, and versatile Canadian artist that actively contributes to the betterment of our immaculate west coast music festival culture.

Upcoming Shows:
Dec 26th - Revelstoke
Feb 27th - Golden

Wicked Woods, The Yellow Dubmarine, Dumpster Fire Records, Quiet Hours

This bad gyal has been a long-time staple in Vancouver's underground bass scene for more than two decades. She started out by spending countless hours digging elbow-deep in crates of 45s in Canada, the US and Jamaica. Her finely curated sets landed her behind the decks continuously and firmly solidified her as a member of Vancouver's notorious LIGHTA! crew. She is well-known for her legendary mixes, some being all-vinyl releases, her true love. Blending reggae/dancehall with dembow/bass/rap/RnB/grime, her musical repertoire is expansive and fresh. A regular at Bass Coast, she also graced stages at Shambhala, Diversity and her family-run festival The Field. She rocked the Thunder Stage at LIB and made ripples at the Moon Stage at the Oregon Eclipse. She has opened for well-known artists in both the reggae/dancehall and international underground music scenes and graces underground parties spanning the west coast and other major musical hubs. In 2012 she gave birth to Lighta's youngest little member. bup!bup!
