Chance of Rain [February 2023]

I had the pleasure of playing "the most exclusive party at the most exclusive party" aka Club Kewpie at the end of last year. I hope you enjoy!

Club Kewpie "Elevator Convention" [November 2022]

I had the honor of DJing for the Faerie Freedom Village at San Francisco Pride this year. The LGBTQIA+ community in SF provided me with my first safe container to explore nightlife, and it was wonderful to celebrate and share some music at one of the best Pride parties on the planet!

My hour-long set turned into a 45-minute filler DJ 'set' and a 75-minute set that unfortunately started with some technical difficulties, so I decided to record a two-hour set containing most of the tracks I played while still coasting off the energy of Sunday's amazing dancers. Thank you so much for grooving with me!

I have never taken a request before (and probably won't ever again), but the first track of this set is an exception I made for my the friend who invited me to play and was responsible for organizing the entire stage area (1/8 of SF Pride!) by himself. I love you, Shy!

Thank you again to my wonderful friend, Feathers for Fun, who made my beautiful rainbow piece! She's based in Miami and is happy to customize to your heart's desires!

San Francisco Pride [June 2023]

Music is healing and should be shared! I had the honor of playing my friend's 50th birthday on my actual birthday, and much fun was had! Thank you to everyone who came to dance and wish me a Happy Birthday!

Catch Alex if You Can (Rework) [July 2023]

I was given the honor of playing for @opulentchillmusic at 5pm on burn night (Saturday) at this year's Burning Man. I contemplated leaving the event when driving a friend to Reno on the Thursday before but had spent more than a month collecting and cultivating some music and returned to BRC beyond excited to play... until the weather took a turn for the worst and forced me to miss my set while sheltering in place (you may have seen the news).

A friend and I spent more than eight hours exiting the city (the time it took to reach actual road/pavement) yesterday, and I'm beyond grateful to be home. I wanted to record a mix while my feelings about the past few days and our shared experiences (trauma bonding?) were still fresh. I hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much to Opulent Chill for the opportunity to play and to the amazing friends who took me in when it was clear that my tent situation was not going to work with the incoming weather. Photo from just after visiting this year's Temple and getting caught in three different white outs in the process 🙃

Burning Man 2023 for Opulent Chill [September 2023]

Celebrated a friend's birthday (Happy Birthday, Steve!) and enjoyed a Merry Christmas with friends at @thatfuckinbar

The first 40min is mostly deep organic house, followed by some disco (~20min) and eventually some tech house :)

Happy Birthday, Steve, and Merry Christmas! [December 2023]

We lost Steve a few days before Christmas. The two of us were supposed to be sharing a house in Yosemite for a birthday party over this past weekend, and I instead found myself with friends at our dear friend's memorial and playing some music at the reception after 💔

We love and miss you, Steven Bryan Jeffe ❤️

September 26, 1969 -- December 19, 2023

For Steven Jeffe [January 2024]

I had the honor of opening for @alkemisserika @josephleefromsf & @djpauldudamel at @bergeracsf in San Francisco last night. The vibe was chill Deep Organic Afro House, and I did my best to deliver. I hope you enjoy!

Next month also commemorates two years since I first touched a mixer or controller (aside from the square wave synth I helped build in college) and my first ever DJ residency!! 

If you like these tunes and vibes, come join me at @thatfuckinbar at 312 Harriett in San Francisco every Friday in February 7-10pm :)

Listen | Friday Happy Hour of Deep Organic Afro House Music [January 2024]

The @opulenttemple Sacred Dance party has been one of my favorites in San Francisco for over a decade, and I was given the honor of closing out the @opulentchill room last night. I hope you enjoy the mix!

Opulent Chill for Sacred Dance (San Francisco @ The Regency Ballroom) [April 2024]

I had the honor of kicking off the music program for the Birds of a Feather "orchid convention" this month.

Birds of a Feather "Orchid Convention" (Poolside Opening Set) [April 2024]

I had the honor of playing a poolside set for Camp Silver Spur (near Yosemite) this past Fourth of July during their Glitter Ranch campout.

Everyone was lovely, but I felt the energy change at some point and tried to match the music accordingly. A gentleman floating in the pool shared his experience of being in the water when the bass changed (after my set), which was nice 😅

Thank you so much to @seanmajors for inviting me to play! 🙏❤️

Photo from my last volunteering trip to Maui (to help with the aftermath of the Lahaina fire), wearing one of my favorite bikinis from Manakai Swimwear, a locally, woman-owned brand (based in Lahaina on Maui) where all garments are beautifully and sustainably made from upcycled fishing line 🙌

Camp Silver Spur Glitter Ranch July 4th Poolside (Rework) [July 2024]

Filled in for someone who missed their DJ slot at the Glitter Ranch Campout this past Fourth of July week and got to play poolside again at the lovely Camp Silver Spur property! 🙌

At this point the left tempo slider was kicking my tracks and/or going to the last cue point if I touched it while a track was playing, and I think the left deck kicked my first 3-4 tracks in the first 10-15min of me hopping on (thankfully on beat, so at least people didn't really notice... I think it must have gotten wet?). 

We also discovered that the main sound wasn't plugged in at the beginning of my set, likely when I turned down the monitors (and headphones) because I still have sensitive hearing. Thankfully my friends jumped in, and I was able to share some more music 😅❤️

I wanted to play the last track included here when I played poolside, but the DJ after me reminded me that I "wasn't even on the schedule" and declined my request. Anyway, happy to include another @avrosse banger at the end of this rework 💪

No makeup selfie from Defected Croatia a few years back, wearing one of my favorite bikinis from Manakai Swimwear (based on Maui and made from upcycled fishing line) because algorithms.

Glitter Ranch "You Weren't Even On The Schedule" [Poolside Rework] (July 2024)

My audition mini-mix for Utopia April 4-7! Please give it a listen, and drop me a like if you enjoy to help my odds of being selected! 🙏❤️ #takemetoutopia

March 5th Update: The festival, of course, went with yet another white dude for the DJ contest and FEMME House music production education scholarship.... just a few days before International Women's Day. I wish I could say I'm surprised, but at least Femme House is still supporting women in the industry.

Femme House/ Utopia 2025 DJ Contest - YamYams [February 2025]

I had the honor of opening the Monkey Loft deck for the sold out @opulenttemple fundraiser last Friday. 

Thank you so much to @christinemichelle for recording the last ~75% of my set! I’m so awful at recording 😅

Opulent Temple Sacred Dance at Monkey Loft (Deck) in Seattle (Live) [April 2025]

I had the honor of doing a guest mix for @deepfixrecordings out of the UK. Thank you so much to @col-lawton-d90 and the crew for having me!

Deep Fix Presents... House Music Matters: YamYams Guest Mix [June 2025] (UK)

I just got back from Cascadia, where I had the honor of DJing the tea tent last night/this morning and was chatting with two lovely friends from Iran, both of whom have parents and other family members in Tehran and Isfahan 💔

I failed to record (as usual) and was also having some issues with the controller when I started, so I decided to remix and record my set when I got home today (before flying to Oakland to DJ in Alameda tomorrow). I hope you enjoy the mix ❤️

I love you, friends. Sending love and hoping that you and your loved ones are safe and well 🙏❤️

Cascadia NW Arts & Music Festival (Tea Tent) [June 2025]

Trained musician (piano, clarinet, & guitar) & vocalist (mezzo-soprano) and occasional DJ, model, yoga instructor, bartender/bar manager (mostly clubs & large festivals/events), and event organizer/production assistant.
