DJ AKA Mixmaster muses about staging one-woman shows on the grounds of the apartment complex in Atlanta where she lived as a young girl (pretend microphones included), leaning into funky, offbeat, 90’s-era Black women artists who put their souls into the music and much more about finding self-expression and empowerment through music.
