“Girls DJ Too” is a 3-week Intensive project that aims to provide access for girls and women-identified folks in The Bronx to learn DJ skills. During the program, there will be a Women DJ panel where each DJ will share their stories with the participants as a way for them to know that girl or women DJs exist.
DJ Kaykay47 is an international DJ and community organizer from The Bronx who boldly creates passion and joy through movement. Growing up, Kaykay saw music, especially Hip Hop, not only as a tool of resistance, but as a form of resilience for marginalized groups of people. In 2018, she made her first international appearance in Barcelona, continuing her musical journey at DJ showcases and around the world, including her most recent tour in Colombia, all while facilitating workshops on the foundations of Hip-Hop in her community. In 2022, she founded “Girls DJ Too”, a program which provides access to DJ workshops for girls and women in The Bronx. With a master’s degree in Social Work, Kaykay integrates personal development with Hip Hop culture, utilizing DJing as an outlet for young people and adults to express themselves freely while creating a sense of community.
