DJ Stacye J is a native of Detroit and a veteran DJ of her hometown’s independent music scene. With mentorship from underground legends like DJ Trickster, DJ Sicari, and Piper Carter, Stacye has earned her credibility as a force of reckon behind the turntables whether it be parties that place her as the headliner responsible for everyone’s good time, or playing sonic architect and helping performing artists like Detroit Che tailor their live show to the surprise and delight of the audience. 

Emerging from her teenage years as a self-proclaimed “lame” into the stylish cumulative of matter-of-fact queerness, womanhood, and motherhood, DJ Stacye describes her style of auditory curation as “sophistiratchet”. This desire to move crowds in ways that are both primal and intelligent stems from deep love of Detroit’s claim to fame as predecessors of electronic music and its’ more urban extensions, namely ghettotech and “booty music”. 

This genre that has come to define counter-culture movements across Detroit and other melinated-metropolis was originally DJ Stacye J’s sole reason for learning the ways of the turntables. Since her induction into mixing, scratching and matching, DJ Stacye J has since developed a following of dedicated supporters as a highly sought DJ, promoter, and event curator.
