Shady Lady started DJing in Sydney as a resident for the feminist and non-binary collective Comfy Grrrl in 2017. She then began to circulate the local disco and art scene, playing for collectives and events like Backyart, Electric Boogie and Heaps Gay, and volunteering as a host for FBi Radio, an alternative music station with a heavy focus on local talent. Shady Lady skipped the Southern Hemisphere in 2018, slotting herself nicely into the grooves of the Amsterdam dance music scene. You can find her either live streaming her monthly Shady Lady Show, dancing at the front left speaker or mixing at clubs across the city. Highlight performances include her Doka set with Millos Kaiser and Trujillo, Amsterdam Queer Festival Milkshake, her Red Light Radio and Operator shows, playing for Night Arcade alongside David Vunk and warming up for Folamour during ADE 2019. Her side hustles include writing film reviews for the music blog Steppin' into Tomorrow and teaching 1980's aerobic classes. With a background in dance and theatre performance her DJ sets are far from ordinary. She is driven to make the dance floor move as much as she does, always pushing for palpable and joyous tracks. Shady Lady’s usual set is teaming with emotion, colour, a sense of kitsch aesthetic but with an eclectic knowledge of disco and house music.
