A turntablist, musician, vocalist, and nightlife innovator, Shaden, aka Lady Sha, continuously returns home to LA a citizen of the world as reflected in her eclectic DJ sets. Gracing stages both nationally and internationally, Lady Sha is one of the world's top female DJ's. Most recently, she became the first female to win the annual Winter Music Conference DJ Spin-off in WMC history (Miami 2008).
Born in Iran and raised in Los Angeles, Shaden was exposed to a wide range of music from an early age. Her training in turntablism began while attending UC Berkeley as a double-major in pre-med and anthropology. Upon graduating, she turned her focus completely onto music. Spinning heated hip hop sets fused with electro, soul, rock, house, reggae, and global sounds, she has moved dancefloors worldwide. One of the few female DJ's rocking parties in Jamaica yearly and the first female DJ to spin live on South African radio airwaves (2004 southern Africa tour), Lady Sha innovates the music and nightlife industries universally. In 2006, Shaden and partner Aneesah Williams co-founded LionessLA, a special events production and marketing firm dedicated to progressing nightlife with cutting edge music, art, and philanthropy. Currently Shaden produces several annual events for LionessLA, while also DJ-ing fulltime in Los Angeles and touring NY/SF/Miami/Vegas and cities around the globe. |
