DJ Heat

The nation’s capitol has a hometown hero that spins, scratches and blends music while
staunchly staying true to her roots. You can’t mute D.C. and you can’t mute DJ Heat. This
skilled talent was just 13-years-old when she first discovered her interest in turntables
courtesy of a Wreckx-N-Effect classic. She then went from fantasizing about spinning
records to the real thing. An indelible spark was lit and a summer of saved paychecks led to
her ultimately following her path and pursuing her passion. That small spark created a full-
on flame, and DJ Heat took purposeful steps to align herself with her dream.
In addition to rocking turntables, DJ Heat is an adept on-air personality with years of
expertise. First there were classes at her high school’s radio program, then studying at
Morgan State University that spurned into an internship at WPGC 95.5 An intentional, not
coincidental experience, the position put her alongside Big Tigger at a station bursting with
talent. A chance recommendation from a fellow radio colleague lead to a full-time on-air
position and DJ Heat later accumulated experience at Hot 97, Shade 45 and Baltimore’s 92.3
WERQ where she currently spins as a mix show DJ. She doesn’t just pride herself on a
lengthy musically laced career; the disc jockey revels in providing experiences. She often
does so onstage while DJing for Grammy winning songstress Mya and while DJing for
Grammy nominated songstress Carolyn Malachi, respectively.
