Lady Fingaz, a versatile DJ, turntablist, producer, and vocalist, was destined for the stage from an early age. Growing up as the child of a blues drummer, she developed a deep connection to music, often joining her father on stage to sing. This Austin, Texas native began her musical journey through voice, studying piano and later discovered the art of DJing, turntablism and production during her teenage years growing up in Little Rock, Arkansas. After honing her skills, she moved to New Orleans, where she continued perfecting her mixes, cuts, and production techniques while earning two business degrees from the University of New Orleans.

 

She quickly established herself in the city’s vibrant music scene, breaking barriers in the male-dominated world of turntablism. In 2004, she was honored as the Best Emerging Hip-Hop Artist at Offbeat’s Best of the Beat Awards. Following Hurricane Katrina, Lady Fingaz relocated to San Francisco, where she further pursued her solo career and formed the all-female supergroup Femme Deadly Venoms and joined the all-lady DJ crew Peaches. In 2013, her crew, LFDV, placed second in the U.S. Team DMC competition. In 2016, Lady Fingaz made history as the first DJ to perform inside the Jazz Tent at the New Orleans Jazz Fest, performing and featured on Grammy Award-winning Nicholas Payton's Afro-Caribbean Mixtape project.

 

Her diverse music production showcases her rich musical upbringing in blues, funk, and soul always highlighted in each beat made. In 2022, Lady Fingaz’s production of Femme Deadly Venoms’ album Femmenomenon was featured on CBS hit show, The Equalizer, featuring Queen Latifah. That same year, she released a lo-fi album, Hi-fi Lo-fi, adding to her diverse discography. Summer of 2024, she released two house singles from her upcoming house album Cosmic Casa, set to drop in Spring 2025. With her signature sound and ever-evolving artistry, she continues to break new ground in the music industry.
