DJ SUGARFACE
Born and raised in Montreal, this Egyptian/Portuguese lovechild is inspired by funky basslines, hypnotic drum rhythms, and infectious grooves. From soulful house to psychedelic funk, Sugarface is also World Music Director at CJLO 1690 AM and co-founder of radio and events collective Flat Cola MTL and recently organized both International Women’s DJ - Montreal x Miami x Mexico City (March 8, 2020) and Vinyls ao Vivo Women’s Day Edition (March 7, 2020).
From a child trying to loop on cassette “mama say mama sa” from Michael Jackson’s “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’” (RIP Manu “Soul Makossa” Dibango) to attending countless Santa Cruz “disco church” basement parties with her parents and sisters (her father played bass in a Portuguese rock group throughout her youth), Sugarface grew up in a household surrounded by music, mixed cultures and languages. She quickly understood that music was its own language filled with emotion and expression and automatically identified with it, finding commonalities in different musical genres and creating ancestral bonds between music and people.
