While Sevyn's calling for live instrumentation and musical arrangement has thrived, she has unanticipatedly embarked on her journey into the world of DJ'ing and established her name and footprint in musical spaces outside of her hometown, Washington DC. Sevyn is a producer, DJ, curator and founder of music platform and curatorial studio "Beautiful Noise" based in Brooklyn, NY. She seeks connections through music and her deep appreciation for culture and history radiates through narrative-driven mixes and productions. She centralizes story and narrative; genres are just chapters which, when taken together, are greater than the sum of their parts. Her energy on the dancefloor pulsates the same rhythm while weaving in and out of records from House gems to Jazz, Techno and Soul. Her commitment to music and sound has led her to opportunities in spaces outside of the club. She composed a piece for a film presented in the Alvin Ailey exhibit titled "Edges of Ailey", directed by Kya Lou and Josh Begley at The Whitney Museum in New York City. The birth of Beautiful Noise has expanded her role as a curator soundtracking The Getty Museum celebrating Black Visual Culture for the African American Art History Initiative. Her time as a DJ has brought her gigs internationally where she toured and opened for jazz musician Cktrl, played at the legendary Tresor in Berlin, London, Paris, Tokyo, Seoul and more. Whether playing in her stomping grounds or rocking dance floors overseas, Sevyn creates dance floor memories you'll want to replay again and again.Recently at Silence Please, Dead Letter No. 9, BASEMENT · often with VARSHA, Honey Bun, Tlim Shug, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
During their university years, DAY/DEM spearheaded DIY music events in Gainesville, FL, revitalizing the electronic music scene in the north Florida town. By throwing renegade events in storage units, record stores, and detached garages, the artist’s impact reverberated heavily throughout the community. Gatherings like these are where their love for the craft of music curation first sprouted as they turned these local spaces into sanctuaries for a tribe of music lovers. The electro savant now thrives in the unknown, wielding the power of selection and taste to transform dance floors at venues like Nowadays, Paragon, and Mansions in New York City, continuously molding their creative identity rooted in acid, dub techno, minimal and house. Their emotive presence aligns powerfully with artists they’ve opened for such as Dutch techno experimentalist Spekki Webu of Mirror Zone and Belgian pathfinder Rey Colino behind Kalahari Oyster Cult. Their musical palette is further revealed through productions via Compost Discs, Starry Records, and various self-releases. DAY/DEM is dynamic, intuitive, and creatively restless, quickly becoming a name that resonates far beyond the decks.
