About Our Team

About us Flydjs... ...is a community of all-girl DJs based in Kelowna BC who offer a friendly & supportive platform for any female DJ, DJ-to-be, vocalist or MC, or live performer willing to share & enjoy their music & art where gender & ego are not issues. The crew was conceptualized by JGirl & Amanda Rude in the summer of 2005 following a series of peculiar events in a small local DJing scene with some 60+ male DJs. They saw a need to group together to share ideas & start new projects. Flydjs was formed & launched in October 2005. Flydjs receives an abundance of praise, support, & media attention. [Philosophy] Since the DJing scene is often one filled with competition and rivalry, our philosophy is to share instead of compete. Our lesson & mentoring programs offers the Kelowna ladies the ability to make their DJing dreams come true. To date, some 60+ ladies & gents have participated in Basix, our lesson program showcasing the basics of vinyl DJing. Many of our 'graduates' have taken their experiences a step further & bought gear, built their vinyl collections, & a handful have begun enjoying regular gigs. Some of our ladies have relocated to places like Nelson, Calgary, Victoria, & Vancouver. A few have enjoyed prime spotlight with gigs in Calgary, Edmonton, Seattle, at Shambhala, Apex, Summer Breaks, Hush Nightclub, Gorg-O-Mish after hours, as far west as Japan, & as far east as Birmingham, London, & Ibiza. JGirl believes in supporting ladies with a passion for DJing who wish to improve their experience, gain knowledge, & perform live regularly. She hosts events in the Okanagan & gives budding DJs (male & female) a chance to rock out. She assists with buying their own quality DJ gear & finding the right places & shops to get their favorite music all in a effort to get started. She hosts a pro-looking website (WWW.FLYDJS.COM) where the girls each have an individual profile page, a bio, upcoming & past notable gigs listing, & the abilities to host & promote their mixes. Amanda stresses the importance of being unique to set herself her apart from other DJs. She also stresses the importance of striving ahead & making every performance her best performance. She believes in networking with like-minded people in similar music-circles & gaining & sharing any fulfilling opportunities that come along.
