DJ Sappho was born and raised in the nerdery. Brought up on a steady diet of prog-rock and musical factoiods, it's no wonder that she is a consummate record collector. She began her journey into the world of techno music in 1991 when, at the age of 14, she witnessed the most excellent Deee-Lite as the showstoppers in Dallas, TX. She continued to party her candy raving-ass off throughout the 90s. In 1999 she finally garnered the courage to step off the dancefloor and behind the decks. DJ Sappho is one of the most widely known and loved DJs in the Pacific Northwest, having played with the likes of Audion, DDR, Isolee, Gold Chains, and IQU.
Sappho currently holds a bi-weekly residency at the Portland lounge Crush titled Happy Life Happy Hour every 2nd and 4th Tuesday. You can also catch her shenanigans behind the turntables at various one off events around the PNW. She is known for her unusual ability to mix practically any and all styles of music (much like a Cuisaneart)!! From disco to micro-house to cheezy pop to hip hop to straight up T-E-C-H-N-O, Sappho gets a dance party going and keeps it going till everyone is all sweaty.
