DJ Motive (SF & LA)DJ Motive, a San Francisco native, has turntablism pumping through her veins. Jumping on the turntables was the natural progression towards her love of music and an outlet she found to express herself. Motive since has been spinning vinyl across dancefloors from the Bay to L.A. for nearly a decade. Motive's personal taste in music evolved from her early exposure to soul and classic hip-hop to an eclectic mix of Bay Area slaps, hip-hop, reggae, downtempo, breakbeat, electro and mash-ups. Inspired by the cutting edge sounds such as Diplo, M.I.A., Bjork andMassive Attack and anchored in the Bay's very own E-40, Too Short and Mac Dre, her eclectic amalgamation of classic beats and new heat has made Motive a mainstay in the LGBT community and beyond. Most recently Motive has expanded her musical talents earning a Bachelor of Sound Arts, specializing in sound design, sound engineering and audio post production and is currently holding it down as a sound designer for various theater productions in San Francisco. Staying true to her roots and giving back to her community, Motive also instructs San Francisco youth in jobtraining courses in audio, lighting and set design.
