a Queen Aminah's lifelong musical journey reflects the deep and varied styles she brings to the decks. A Brooklyn native, Aminah was raised by a mother who sang jazz and played the piano and flute.  Her Trinidadian father played the 6 bass steel pan drums, which also influenced her early interest in grooves from all over the map.  Trips to buy records at the Wiz in downtown Brooklyn were a Saturday standard, and her collection still holds those early vinyl pickings from her youth. Aminah began spinning on her own, speeding up Steely Dan records and mixing them with Shy Fx records. 

As a teen, Aminah expanded her horizons globally and delved into the thrum of bass music, inspired by travels to Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. When you catch a live set from her, whether she is spinning house, drum and bass, breaks, grime, footwork, or leftfield bass, you'll be mesmerized by her simultaneously silky smooth mixing and freaky, funky track selections. Just when you think you've got her pegged, Aminah will transform the vibe with unexpected rhythms that harken to her wildly diverse musical influences.

Aminah also moonlights with her partner, Plockasaurus, as the DJ duo Plock Party. In addition to teaming up on the decks, Plock Party also produces house music imbued with positive messages for kids as Plock Party Kids. When she's not spinning, Aminah maintains her dedication to young women of color through volunteering and teaching them financial literacy so they can achieve independence. A supporter of all queens, a Queen Aminah embodies the cosmic divinity that all fearless femmes groove to and gravitate towards from deep within their being.
