ABOUT DJ RASHIDA

After getting her first pair of turntables in 1998, DJ RASHIDA has gone on to play her signature fusion of hip-hop, funk, soul, dancehall and house around the globe at music festivals ,concerts, private events & on television. In 2004 after playing what would be the first of many parties for The Artist, Prince approached her about collaborating. Soon after, (and for the next 10 years) she would tour the world with the superstar, spinning as an opener  for his shows,  as well as at his  private parties, special events and performing live with him on shows such as The Tonight Show, George Lopez and The BET Awards. In addition to her work with Prince, she is a familiar sight at the world’s most important music festivals, playing for thousands at Super Sonic in Tokyo, Good Vibrations in Sydney & the Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago to name a few.  She was the house DJ on MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew as well as on The Arsenio Hall Show revival.  She is frequently called upon to spin for a bevy of corporate and celebrity clients worldwide.
