YOU MIND IF I PLAY SOMETHING FOR YOU?
DJ Kase is an American DJ, producer, playback engineer, audio engineer, and
musician. Kase is never afraid to play those random rare gems you love but
didn’t remember. Having grown up on her parent’s eclectic combination of
Funk / Soul music (James Brown, The Temptations), Pop / Folk (Paul Simon,
Phil Collins), Gospel (Kirk Franklin, Hezekiah Walker)… all which became
infused with her own love for Hip-Hop, R&B, and Neo-Soul, Kase ended up with
quite a mixed spectrum of musical influence. Today this translates into sets
where she infuses music that was never intended to blend together but as the
“Queen of Transitions” she masterfully marries your favorite artists and genres
from around the world.
A very active member of her community, Kase got her start in engineering at a
local non-profit organization. There she quickly learned, then taught
underprivileged teens and young adults how to engineer, produce, and DJ. Her
passion to teach whatever she knows directly affects the way she mixes;
Always willing to introduce the crowd to new music they naturally fall in love
with.
That’s why her tagline, “You mind if I play something for you?” is posed as a
question. “For me, understanding the power that music holds came very early
on. I’m not just mixing songs, I’m creating a purposeful atmosphere. I pose the
question to alert your readiness”
