Name: DJ D, Australia’s Premiere Female Turntablist

DJ D has been holding it down for female DJ’s in the Australian urban community for many years, being recognised as one of the first females to cut it up with the big guns of the club circuit. A true veteran to the art of DJing and turntablism, DJ D played her first gig in 1988 at the age of 10, progressing to private parties and later dominating the club scene around Australia. International tours soon ensued, with DJ D in most cases taking the title of 'first female' to perform in that space, and sometimes even that country.

In 2005 DJ D continued to hold it down for the ladies placing 8th in the Australian Nationals of the Technics DMC Championships as the only female competitor. Other memorable moments for DJ D include touring/supporting the likes of artists such as Naughty By Nature, KCI & Jojo, Montell Jordan, Horace Brown, Eminem's Green Lantern, Bel Biv Devoe's Ricky Bell, Snoop Dogg & Dr Dre's DJ Jam, to name a few.

In addition to being known for her skills on the decks, party rocking abilities, production, and mixtape finesse, DJ D is perhaps most audibly recognised through her radio appearances over the years. Having appeared on and run a number of radios shows, her show Mixxbosses Radio Australia is still going strong gaining support and appearances from artists such as MC Lyte, Ryan Leslie, Chingy, Tupac's Danny Boy, Skeelo, Jon B and a plethora more.

"Mixxbosses Radio Australia is just one small piece of the puzzle that helps make up Mixxbosses worldwide - an international network of DJs and artists keeping turntablism and real music alive" says DJ D. "We are now established in 8 countries and continuing to grow, with radio shows, tv shows, mixtapes, and more coming out of each network."
