branqueeno’s musical style and selection brings a modern twist with an old school flare. She plays a range of house and electronic music, spanning classic, jackin’, deep, garage, acid, disco, tech, minimal, afro, latin, indie dance, and breaks. A groove is guaranteed with a lot of vocals. A true DJ, intentionally selecting and blending music that tells a story, builds up the energy, and takes the listeners on a journey.

Since 2023, Chenice co-produces events that elevate, mentor, and educate others, primarily women. Notably, she was a Femme House featured artist and DJ 101 workshop teach. She is the NYC lead with the collective, Sisters in Sound, who was one of the 2025 Beatport Diversity Fund grant awardees. With the funds, the collective produced ‘Soundscape Microfest’, an all day festival highlighting diversity and education in dance music through a keynote, panels, breakout sessions, and networking.
