About Me
Bio
DJ HANDMAID is quickly making a name for herself in the Los Angeles underground EDM scene. Her unique DJ style infuses all genres of electronic music along with Rock, Hip Hop, Pop, and Bass music cementing her trademark sound and high energy DJ sets. Every performance is fresh and different from the last - never using pre-recorded sets, and always mixing live. DJ HM is a Juilliard graduate and classically trained musician. Her journey to this point has been exciting, varied and also surprising. She never knew her musical style would turn to the world of electronics after touring the country and Europe in a classical trio as a flutist, performing with world-class orchestras and famous artists/bands such as Jethro Tull, and then later making many EDM recordings as a singer under the alias Veronika River. DJ HANDMAID decided to start producing electronic music and DJing in the fall of 2018 after multiple DJ/Producer collaborators suggested she give it a try. Her genre-bending bass music style is already receiving recognition from top DJs around the world on social media. Performing at the Avalon Hollywood and Catch One throughout 2019, DJ HANDMAID now has a weekly Friday slot on Frequency Fridays and Saturday radio show on Master Music Radio from 9-11am PST. Additionally, DJ HANDMAID has appeared as a guest DJ for Dash Radio's Twitch multiple times. Within 10 months of DJing– she was nominated by DJane Mag for top 100 DJanes of 2018, then 2019 and 2020. DJ HANDMAID is currently working on new music in the studio. Additionally, she enjoys performing live on the flute in her DJ sets: improvising over tracks during her weekly radio shows, and live streams. It is a completely authentic experience, utilizing her broad experience in classical, jazz, and rock music to bring a unique flair to her DJ sets. DJ HANDMAID's brand and story inspires females of all ages to pursue your dreams even if women are not typically at the center of that industry. She spreads the message to never give up and believe in yourself above all else. DJ HANDMAID is also the Co-founder of Apex Talent Group and the CEO of Visionbolt Records.
