DJ Zita's Bio
A staple in the Bay Area for years, lady DJ Zita has been steadily building a DJ queendom beat by beat. Known as a party rocker, classic record provider, tireless promoter and meticulous organizer, Zita has brought her sisterhood sounds to dancefloors on both coasts and overseas since 1999. Her captivating sound spans the eras and blends genres of body-rockin' music; she'll seamlessly segue from boombox classic hip hop to mothership trunk funk, spin smooth R&B treats along with timeless soul heroines and heroes, flip reggae dancehall riddims, throwback to '80s pop freestyle, and groove the dancefloor with her soulful deep house. At first one of only a handful of women on the scene, Zita established Bay Area Sistah Sound (BASS) and Queendom to unite women DJs and performers. She can also be found most weekends holding down residencies in San Francisco and Oakland as part of DJ duo Golden Soundscapes with partner Dmadness, as well as producing fresh events spotlighting women in hip hop and guesting at many premier music nights and venues. With her dazzling style, fierce determination, and golden touch on the wheels, DJ Zita has changed the landscape and continues to shine.
What They Say...
"Don't let this pretty face fool ya, DJ Zita is a straight monster on the ones and twos droppin some of the most body rockin hiphop, soul, funk, reggae, smooth groove sets in the Bay."
-Joseph Gross (ArtNowSF)
"It's rare to find a DJ today who pours as much love and who takes as much pride in her mixes as Zita. I've been honored to play alongside someone so creative, hardworking, and musically wise. And don't get it twisted--she isn't just a talented female DJ. She's a talented DJ. Period!"
-DJ Neta (Ital Selection Hi-Fi)
"DJ Zita adds Love, Passion, Dedication and the Aloha spirit to the DJ scene. She is as loyal to the music as she is to her friends. I look forward to seeing her keep shining in the Bay and everywhere else that she drops her unique, party-rockin' Zita steeze."
-Mr.E (Papalote Hi-Fi)
"DJ Zita is one of the hardest working djs in the Bay Area! She is truly an inspiration as she not only works to build her empire, but also works to uplift and strengthen the solidarity of the female dj community."
-DJ Shred One (Brooklyn Circus)
"Besides DJ Zita's obvious talent behind the turntables, she also manages to showcase her enthusiasm for her work through her dedication, persistence and sense of professionalism."
-DJ Vinroc (Triple Threat, That's That Label)
"I ride for DJ Zita because she is the ultimate feel-good party DJ. If there's a song you wanna hear, she's probably already queuing it... On vinyl! I am convinced the song "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life" is about Z and her quick cures for a good music withdrawal."
-Hopie Spitshard (Diamond Dame)
"Sistas like DJ Zita do more than just rep femininity, they show young and old heads alike that hip hop is fly, intelligent, beautiful, and fierce. DJ Zita is a great example of this unapologetic talent and strength. I commend her as a DJ and promoter for challenging the crab mentality - instead of competing against other women tryin to make a name for themselves, she strives to bring those women together. She is an inspiration. Did I mention that she keeps me on the dancefloor long enough to get a leg cramp?"
-Miss Kristia (Dooknockers)
"The hardest working DJ in showbiz! Don't let her beauty fool you. DJ Zita can keep up with any DJ (male or female) in the Bay Area. DJ Zita has never waited for success to come to her. She carved her own path and knocked down the gender door as a prominent promoter and DJ herself. One of the coolest things I ever saw a DJ do was by Zita. During the last song of her set, with the dancefloor packed, she walked out from behind the decks and danced with everyone. That showed me the love she has and the love people have for her."
-Justin Marine (Mixerfriendly)
"Zita not only moves crowds with her energetic blend of hip hop, reggae, & soul, but also plays a key role in producing quality events uniting DJs & talent on one bill throughout the Bay Area. Her work has been significant in highlighting female DJ's in particular by creating a welcoming platform for DJs from around the US to share a stage."
-DJ Lady Sha (LionessLA)
"DJ Zita is one of the hardest working female DJs in the Bay Area. Not only is she a great DJ, she is raising the bar for women DJs and setting a great example of how to work in this business."
-Chaney (Social Life Productions)
"DJ Zita is a true professional. She knows the right songs to play at the right time. She is a talented inspiration to young ladies who want to DJ."
