ZUZUKA PODEROSA & WOOLES DJ
Zuzuka Poderosa drops Brazilian bred, Brooklyn based swagger like no other. A stylistic blend of Funk Carioca and NYC rumble add a breath of fresh air to today's international music scene. She's hard to miss with her unapologetic sultry Portuguese lyrics. This, coupled with booty bumping basslines, she packs New York nightclubs like sardines. The early 90's NYC Drum n’ Bass scene inspired her to master the wheels of steel. Now, under the alias of "DJ Babyfresh" she spins rare vinyl and Brazilian gems alongside DJ partner Joel Stones ( Tropicalia in Furs Records ). It was a natural progression for her to grab the mic – her passion for writing and poetry could no longer be ignored. Through her riveting live performances, and America's new appreciation for underground Brazilian music, she now commands an audience worldwide. Zuzuka was recently approached by Samsung to be a part of a national ad campaign "Samsung Juke Box Hero," through which she introduces the public to Zuzuka Poderosa and Baile Funk. "Time Out Singapore: What's in Your Stacks?," section (DJ of the month track review) recently rated her single "Mas Com Você" number one song in the magazine's online article. in collaboration with Nublu Records & Lounge will host a monthly DJ Collective featuring live performances.
JOYA BRAVO
Singer/songwriter/rapper/violinist, “JOYA BRAVO” is a New York native born in Queens and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. Conceived by Jamaican parents, Bravo’s upbringing was conservative, but musically charged.
Bravo began playing the violin at age nine. Her success eventually earned her a chair in the Metropolitan Atlanta Youth Symphony Orchestra (a highly accredited youth ensemble in the southeast region). She has recently performed with Grammy Award Winners The Roots at the Highline Ballroom.
As an all around creative artist, this powerhouse talent has a clear message to share with the world. She seeks to spread ideals of self-realization, collaboration and positive progression to future generations of the world through her craft. Some of Joya Bravo’s lifetime musical inspirations include: Grace Jones, Serj Tankian (System of a Down), Radiohead, Sarah Brightman, Bob Marley and many other artists. Her abilities supersede that of the average.
