As with many DJs, Jamie’s musical career began early in her youth when she learned to play the violin at age nine. She quickly excelled at the instrument and realized that she had an innate gift for all that is music. She went on to learn to play piano, and later the bass guitar. Finally, when she was 17 she fell into the exciting and mysterious world of underground dance music, and discovered her greatest passion of all. She was immediately intrigued with the music and began to watch other DJs and study the way they intricately blended records together. Jamie knew this was the musical outlet she had been searching for her whole life.

Lauderdale, FL.
