DJ Femme Noir’s sets are intertwined with an eclectic array of music styles from various genres of mainstream and underground music. From popular classics that will have your whole family on their feet, to current singles that dominate the charts, she will have you dancing the whole night away.

Although DJ Femme Noir has been actively DJing for only two years, music has always been a big influence in her life. “My father was a choir director in my grandfather’s church while I was growing up. He had a way of reading people and knowing exactly what they needed to hear at any moment. He also knew and understood his choir members and was able to bring out the very best in every single person involved,” she said. “I often channel this enthusiasm and spirit when I am out doing my gigs so that it reflects in the songs I play. I may feed off the crowd’s energy, but I also influence it with my selections. It’s my job to use that influence to set the mood.”

As a Black queer woman in a white cis male-dominated industry there are some biases that arise. “I can count on one hand how many female DJs of color I personally know within the markets I occupy,” she said. Nevertheless Femme Noir is still navigating her way through the industry and creating space for herself and others like her. 

“When other black and POC folks see me or other DJs of color they know they are welcomed in that space. When other women see me in male dominated spaces, they also know that they are not only welcomed but someone is looking out for them,” she said.

Whether it’s a wedding, drag show, or a private event, it is DJ Femme Noir’s goal is to unify people with each set. “Music has a way of bringing people from all walks of life together. It is my goal to organize and blend it in a way that makes people come together and share one experience. It is my goal that these experiences will continue beyond the dance floor and permeate into all aspects of their lives,” she said.
