Biography

DJ Roots Queen is an American DJ based out of Atlanta, Ga. Originally from Tampa, Fla, she began spinning vinyl at 17 years old. In 2006, while living in Atlanta, she toured with Dinco D of Leaders of the New School as his DJ. After briefly returning to Tampa in 2008, She teamed up with Poison Dart Sound under DJ Kirky C and began her career in dancehall and reggae after a lifelong love of the music and culture. After returning to Atlanta, she found a niche DJing fashion shows, artist showcases, and industry events that put her in position to DJ for Young Jeezy’s Gourmet brand in 2013. Later that year, she launched her award-winning radio show, Rude Girl Radio, on DJ Clue’s Desert Storm Radio.


In 2015, Roots was signed to Zaytoven and subsequently moved her radio show to the company radio station, Digital Dope Radio. As Zaytoven’s official tour DJ, she performed at notable events including Red Bull Producer’s Roundtable Afterparty with Sonny Digital and Metro Boomin and Piano Nights with Gucci Mane and Zaytoven. Roots appeared on Team Zaytown Global for the Red Bull Music Culture Clash 2018 and the Maxim Big Game Experience during Super Bowl 53 alongside Future, Jaimie Fox, and Yo Gotti.

Specializing in many genres, Dj Roots Queen is versatile with her sound and provides professionalism, a deep understanding of music, and a charismatic ability to connect with each crowd. With 25 years of experience, you can expect creative mixing, hosting, and song selection when Roots is on the controls.

Whether you are looking for a corporate DJ to set the tone for your brand, a DJ for a private event, a festival DJ, or an influencer DJ for a club or venue, DJ Roots Queen meshes well and is equipped for any environment. Her brand and reputation are respected among her peers as a pioneer female DJ opening up the door for newer DJs but also setting an example of quality turntablism and supreme hosting abilities.

Most recently, her notable gigs have been at Soho House, Nashville, Nissan Heisman House Tour, Club Cheetah ATL, The Illuminarium, and the High Museum of Art. Dj Roots Queen is also a mix show DJ on Sirius XM.

Yet, challenges persist. The pursuit of fair compensation for artists, the battle against piracy, and the quest for diversity and inclusivity are ongoing conversations within the industry. The music industry is not just a business; it’s a cultural force that reflects the zeitgeist, shapes societal trends, and influences the way we perceive the world.
