For our upcoming R&B Block Party, we are doing something we have never done before! Performing will be two male dj’s and two female dj’s, battling it out to see who brings the best R&B Vibes to the yard. All from various backgrounds, but find common ground through the power of music.
DJ Black
Dj Black has been in the music industry for over 10 years. His love for music stems from the feelings, emotions, and journey it can lead you on. “It can take you to your emotion and take you through your emotion,” says DJ Black.
“Whatever you’re dealing with at any stage in your life, whether you’re having a hard moment or a positive one, there’s always been something about music that you can identify with.”
– DJ Black
DJ Alonzo
Born and raised in San Diego, Dj Alonzo started mixing music in 2002. At first, Alonzo was an on-air personality at a radio station. What initially started as a career playing tracks for other people eventually transitioned into playing tracks himself once he discovered his talent as a dj. “Music is like a universal language,” says Alonzo.
“My favorite part about the R&B Block Party is how diverse it is. You’re getting energy form all different likes of people.”

DJ Lace
DJ Lace has been Dj’ing for over 12 years. She learned from her father who has been a dj for over 30 years. So you could say, it’s in her blood. Although she was raised on r&b and hip hop, she has a new found love for reggae and afro beats.
According to Lace, being a female in the music industry can be difficult. Some promoters don’t give you the benefit of the doubt when it comes to your knowledge due to the lack of female dj’s. On the other hand, there are some promoters who are very communicative and have your best interest at heart. It just depends.
“At these events, it’s great seeing people dancing and singing. The memories it brings out and the way it makes you feel is magical”

DJ Tealideal
DJ Tealideal has been DJ’ing for 5 years. She’s been creating music and audio engineering since she was just 12 years old. According to Teal, being a female DJ is amazing. She claims it’s always beautiful to expand the music industry and see what women can do within it.
“I feel each artist from Alicia Keys , Mary J Blige & Keyshia Cole it makes you feel stronger as woman sending a message of strength in women having independence,” says Tealideal.
“Music is a heart beat it circulates and vibrate through is . it connects you to your deepest emotions and allows you to share those feels to better understand ourselves and others.
R& B Block Party is an amazing event focused on love and being a community.”
