DJ Kris
Kris’ Bio
DJ Kris is a genre-bending, crowd-moving force in the world of music. Born in Philadelphia and raised in South Jersey by a resilient single mother alongside her brother and sister, and large family, she grew up surrounded by rhythm, resilience, and the raw energy of East Coast culture. After moving to South Jersey at age 10, she graduated high school in 2007 and soon after began charting her own course—both in life and music.
At 21, she hit the road, living in places like California, Miami, Orlando, Virginia, and Texas throughout her twenties. Every city added to her musical palette. She got her start as an EDM DJ and producer in her early twenties, but her true power lies in her ability to blend. Whether it's hip-hop, country, punk rock, or deep cuts from the '90s and 2000s, her sets defy boundaries and keep dance floors alive.
Openly gay, and unapologetically herself, she brings authenticity and energy to every performance. With over a decade behind the decks, DJ Kris isn’t just mixing music—she’s blending culture, identity, and eras to create unforgettable experiences wherever she plays.

I’m always growing, but one thing I’m focused on is refining my technical setup—whether that means staying up to date with new gear or leveling up my live production skills.
