about
Trained in classical music, DJ Killa-Jewel has performed as a Hip-Hop DJ/turntablist across Canada, the U.S., Europe, Asia and Australia. She has recorded and played with Hip-Hop/turntablist bands (Microtone Kitchen), Rock, Pop, Jazz, Soul and Funk bands (Vanessa Rodrigues Soul Project), and has performed at countless parties, clubs and concerts. She has also made numerous appearances on radio and scored for/appeared on television (CBC), and DVD (DJ Q-Bert - Do It Yourself Vol. 2). Killa-Jewel's past endevors have been fusing Hip-Hop with the theatre milieu, composing "turntable music" live for theatrical productions and touring with Canadian actor and director Robert Lepage (Zulu Time, The Busker's Opera). She also competed in prestigious DJ battles including the Canadian DMCs, ITF Scratching Categories in NYC, and represented Canada at the World Vestax Extraveganza in Japan. Producing music for video games has been an exciting venture for Killa-Jewel (in her most recent collaboration with Bioware on their latest highly acclaimed title Dragon Age where she produced and remixed Inon Zur's theme "I Am The One"), as her goal continues to be pushing Turntablism and turntablist production into new, uncharted territory.
