POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Many people don’t know this, but before I was an internationally-touring DJ, I was a radio show host on @wnyu from 2020-2025. I realized that so much of the music we listen to were made by men, and I always had to dig for tracks by women and non-binary artists, especially in contemporary classical music, which is what I curated at that time.

Fast forward to when I started djing, and I encountered a similar problem. There is so much intention, research, and commitment behind being a music curator that people don’t often think about. That’s why I started a new show called “Zeros + Ones” in 2024 — to highlight FLINTA electronic music artists and pay homage to the history of early electronic music (which was predominantely led by trans and female artists). The show ran for 2 seasons on @wnyu and @subtleradio.

I’ve been taking a break from the show as we look for a new station to host it on! If you’re a community-run radio station, I would love to work with you!
