DJ HeyLove*

DJ heyLove* grew up in the Bay Area surrounded by different cultures, ethnicities, & art. Influenced by this diversity she developed a love for variety, which is reflected in her taste for music.

Attracted to different rhythms and how they make the mind, body, and soul feel, heyLove* is naturally drawn to  artists from the past and present like Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Prince, Fela Kuti, Erykah Badu, Pharrell Williams, J Dilla, Kanye West, Drake, AtJazz, Masters at Work, Omar, & the Weeknd.

You'll hear soul, jazz, R&B, downtempo, broken beat, house, bossa nova, afro beat & hip-hop, pop/hits, and classics in her collection. "There should be no genre lines in music," heyLove* explains. Her mixes reflect a "music head" who appreciates the finer melodies in life.

DJ heyLove* has shared the stage with artists such as the Grammy award winning Robert Glasper Experiment, Esperanza Spalding, the Funky Meters, Emily King, DaM-FunK, & Mark Farina. Her music has created good vibes at places like Monarch, California Academy of Sciences, W Hotel, Haus of Hipstamatic, City View at the Metreon, and The Getty's Mansion.
