Girlz B Like was birthed over seven years ago as a collective body which embodies female music producers, record label owners, recording artists, sound engineers, and of course DJs.
As the Creative Director and founder of this grassroots outfit, GBL has steadily carved out its own groove drawing loyal music discerners of quality Underground sounds: r&b Disco, Detroit techno, Boogie, funk, Gospel dance, Broken Beat, and other electronica rhythms and beats that club dancers also relish and appreciate.
The GBL objective is to highlight female selectors who take control of the music programming inside the DJ booth where guests Josey Rebelle, DJ Paulette, Vanessa Freeman, Katie Barber, Shy One, Nikki Lucas, Miss Vaitea, Jaidene Veda, Miss Soxee, Heddi Greenwood, DJ Dubois and more have already graced the decks and performed.
