their own biography
the whole biography
kels is a triple threat: dancer, digger, and DJ. She had her musical upbringing in Detroit, where she danced for 13 years surrounded by the people who gave birth to the music and values that exposed her to different realms. Being present and sensitive trained her ear and took her musicality to the next level. In 2018 she started her party and mix series maneater - where she cultivated unique line ups that connected many talented DJ’s to share music in spaces that allowed them to shine. Maneater moved with her to Brooklyn in 2019 where it has continued to draw crowds to clubs and underground spaces alike. Meanwhile, kels continues to DJ independently at venues across the States including Public Records, Spot Lite, Dante’s HIfi, Hot Mass, and Nowadays. She recently launched a new residency at Nightmoves, a club designed by LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy, where you can find her playing an extended five hour set each month. As a former elementary school teacher of eight years, kels brings her empathetic nature and magnetic spirit to the turntables every time she steps into the booth. kels is an agent of change always pushing community to the forefront aka connecting the cuties. Her musical thought process, practicality, and genre fluid vinyl collection will take your heart on the voyage you deserve - if you’re open to it.Recently at The Last Call, Mansions · often with Shawn Dub, Mike Servito, Titonton Duvanté, none of them here that night
