I have a handful of new followers and wanted to intro myself, I’m Rhi and im a DJ/producer who works as a creative director in social media and commercial production 🎥 @rhibergado *AND I happened to be a giant otaku and kpop stan. I started in the early 2000s on CD & Vinyl formats at drag clubs and Pride festivals and eventually started touring as an Anime Rave DJ. I produce fandom events with the goal of creating more safe and fulfilling queer spaces, specifically for my sapphics, trans siblings, and BIPOC family. 🪩 Dance Floor is sacred community space 🎧 Make DJing accessible to everyone 🫡More women on decks and that’s pretty much all yall need to know about me 😚 I will always update my bio and notes when my DJ books are open, but always keep an eye out on what I got cookin’ next!
