stylus dj awards

Last night I walked away with the stylus award for Toronto DJ of the year. Honestly, I didn’t think I was going to walk away with any award last night, since I had won female DJ of the year three times in the last three years and the Stylus Group basically ‘retires’ you from any category that you’ve won three times in a row.

Too discombobulated to even come up with a speech, I just said ‘thank you’ and basically scurried off the stage. But now that I’ve got my life together [lol] I can really and truly say THANK YOU for all of your kind words, your awesome tweets, positive instagram messages and hilarious phone calls.

This award means just a little bit more to me because it represents something I’ve been saying in interviews and to people since day one – “its not about being the best female DJ, it’s about being able to DJ with the best.” Of all the awards, Toronto DJ of the year means the most because it puts me on an even platform as my male peers and it reinforces the fact that I wasn’t put on because just simply because I was female. This award is the ultimate token of respect and I am forever grateful to even be considered in the same as the guys I was nominated with.

Sooooooo as your Toronto DJ of the year, expect more turnt up [or tun up, preference pending lol] party rocking high energy super sexy extravaganzas for 2012.

Hopefully I wont disappoint.

THANK YOUUUUUU!!!!
