どうもありがとうございます Dōmo arigatōgozaimasu @room303radio !!! It was a blast working with you and seeing the studio in person I loved prepping for this set while watching the cherry blossoms come alive, it was like living in a dream. I have always drawn lots of inspiration from Japan and I hope viewers can feel my passion through this set. These songs make me feel alive & it was a pleasure sharing them with you. You can watch the full set on Room303's YouTube or listen on SoundCloud (links in my bio). Be sure to give @room303radio a follow to see all the great talent they are hosting.

Big thanks to @opulenttemple for having me at the coveted Sacred Dance Party. I have many memories of going to this event over ten years, but this one takes the cake! It was a dream to be invited to play this party, let alone playing on the main stage in WithinSodo and opening for @thisisnala 😱 Thanks to all of the dancers, who came early & danced, y’all looked sexy AF. I couldn’t be happier, my heart is full 💕

This Sunday in Shinjuku Tokyo Japan, I will be DJing at Room 303 live at 9pm JPT I am honored to share the same booth many legends have DJ’d before me at Room 303. It is truly a special treat to be invited to share my sound with a place I love & where I gather lots of inspiration ⛩️ For any friends in Tokyo or listening in, I invite you to please join the journey and get a little lost in the sounds of @jacki.why . If you can’t make it, I’ll be sure to share the recording 😘 @room303radio 19 April 2026

Happy Annual @bestbuttcamp Burning Man Fundraiser Party @nectarlounge tonight!!! The silliest party all year 🍑 Here's a throwback to when I played last year's event 🌈 I'm super bummed I can't make it to this year's event while I am in Japan, I hope y'all throw down your best rodeo clown outfits ever (I'll fomo real hard over the highlight & blooper reels) Hopefully I'll catch some familiar faces at this year's @opulenttemple Sacred Dance Burning Man Fundraiser @monkey_loft on Fri April 24, I'll be playing from 9-10:30pm ⚪

Green room shenanigans and club testing original ideas 💭🤔 Thanks @viceseattle @yellowbrickroadtour @dancefestopia @dj.megatron for having me out. And thanks to all the dancers for rolling along with each set, that was a fun ride 🫶

Quick hot little sets means I’m bringing twice the energy in half the time, come check out Vice with me as I go head to head with these other House DJs on Wednesday March 18 @viceseattle for the @yellowbrickroadtour and for a chance to play at @dancefestopia music festival this Summer! I’ll be playing a Jacki-style energy set that is more upbeat & a lil’ faster since we aren’t opening for anyone 😈 I’m on at 11:00pm right after the talented @faringrace So head over to Vice early & vote for us as we show everyone how we like to party.

It’s been rough at work lately so I haven’t been out as much this Winter & I’m looking forward to changing that! Mama’s booty hurts from sitting in the office chair all day, I need to get out & shake it 💃 If you’ve been wondering where I’ll be DJing next, come and dance with me at one of these amazing events: Tomorrow Saturday 3/7 from 12-1pm The 2nd Annual See Her Be Her celebrating International Women’s Day with Women in the music industry all day event from @mmbassy.presents @c895radio I’ll be on at noon in the silent disco @wseattle . This one will be popping my silent disco cherry! It kinda feels like everyone will be in my head without the big speakers 🎧 Wednesday 3/18 @yellowbrickroadtour @viceseattle I go head to head against other top House DJs as we battle for a spot to play at @yellowbrickroadfestival come vote for me! 🗳️ Friday 3/20 The House She Built @roambarseattle for my debut! I’ll be on at 1-2am and we will have a proper dance party closing down the wiggly bar scene that is Ballard! Probably setting y’all up for a great after party you can roll over to 💋 (even if that is your bed) Friday 4/24 @opulenttemple Sacred Dance is bringing you the biggest Seattle burning man fundraiser of the year, Ill be spinning in the Within Sodo stage (ahhhhhh first time here too) @monkey_loft from 9-10:30pm this one will def sell out, so grab your bestie, dress your bestie in all white and I want to see you in the front row! 🔥🤍 If you need a ticket link just DM me 🫶

The House That She Built is back. An all-female lineup of some of Seattle’s best. The kind of women who don’t just play the room, they run it. Bring your friends. Bring your dancing shoes. Bring the energy these DJs deserve. Because the house these women will build, is meant to be full.
