Great f’ing set, Kelly!!!! 🙌🏼🙏😍🔥

Im so glad you recorded this one, Kelly.  It’s really incredible. I just listened to it again for the 3rd time. And i know I will listen to it MANY more times. 

I absolutely love it when women dj/producers create works that can make women dance! This set is superb!!!! My lady friends at a house party are swaying and dancing lightly to the vibes! Thank youuuuuuuuuuuu!!!! Love from Singapore!

It was such a pleasure to open for Andhim at Spybar on our country's birthday... one of those nights when the vibes in the club were just off the charts and everyone was dancing so hard I could literally feel the vibrations in the DJ booth. THANK YOU to everyone who was there and to Andhim for being artists who inspire me. I hope you all enjoy this set, whether it's to relive the night or to experience it for the first time. This one flowed out of me like magic.

Hummingbird - Supporting Set for Andhim at Spybar - July 4 2019

A classically trained musician since age four, Hummingbird can't recall life without rhythm and melody. Starting with violin, and followed closely by piano, drums and clarinet, she began composing classical music at age 10 and performed regularly for years, notably with the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra and in Disneyland with one of the country’s top youth jazz ensembles. 

Throughout college and adult life, she kept close watch over the evolving scenes of favorite genres. Then a chance introduction to Ableton flipped a switch that forever changed her interaction with music. Inspired to her core, she set about recharting her path and reigniting creative ambitions, leaving corporate success behind in favor of a purpose-driven life. 

Her philosophy: “It’s up to each of us to determine what our gift to the world will be; to answer that infamous existential question of, ‘Why am I here?’ If we’re lucky enough to figure it out, we must work to bring this vision to life with every ounce of our being, all the while remaining willing to stare fear in the face because going against the grain can be scary as hell. But once you know what you want to create and ultimately leave behind, there’s no choice but to just go for it.” 

Making her presence known across North America, she’s equally comfortable at underground warehouse parties and mainstay clubs. In her home market of Chicago, she’s a regular presence at the likes of Spybar, Smartbar, Primary, and the well-respected Paradigm Underground parties, among many others.  With an intrinsic knack for setting a proper vibe and managing the energy of a room, she’s warmed up the dance floor for artists such as Steve Lawler, Art Department, Matthew Dear, Tube & Berger, Gui Boratto, Lee Foss, Jeremy Olander, Coyu, Edu Imbernon, Eelke Kleijn, Jody Wisternoff, Kolsch, Olivier Giacomotto, Shall Ocin and 16 Bit Lolitas…just to name a few. 

With broad influences ranging from Boards of Canada and The Chemical Brothers to Dmitri Kabalevsky’s piano concertos, The Pixies and Johnny Cash, she’s at home in the studio, drawing on the fertile ground of classical training and an insatiable appetite for sound. Her original productions feature the same complex, driving and melodic elements as her DJ sets, with a focus on intelligent, forward-thinking sounds from across the spectrum of house and techno. Her dynamic, emotive performances are driven by relentless curation, an intuitive connection to time and space, and a palpable energy that goes straight to the heart of the dance floor.
