Born in Japan and raised in New York, this DJ is renowned for a genre-defying style that seamlessly blends hip-hop, soul, funk, house, and world music. A leading figure in the Japanese DJ scene, she has garnered international acclaim, with *The Japan Times* describing her as a DJ who captivates music fans not only in Japan but across the globe. Her sophisticated taste and extensive musical knowledge have led to bookings for events hosted by luxury brands such as PRADA, Cartier, Louis Vuitton, Audemars Piguet, and Rolls-Royce. She has also performed at exclusive gatherings attended by global stars, serving as the DJ for Pharrell Williams’ 50th birthday party, BLACKPINK member Rosé’s visit and autograph session in Japan, and the opening set for the premiere episode of Questlove’s streaming show, *Black Stream Live*. While active primarily in the domestic club scene, her talent is recognized worldwide; she has performed on the main stage at Ultra Music Festival (in both Japan and South Korea) and at prestigious international venues like the Louvre Abu Dhabi. Early in her career, she was hailed by Questlove of The Roots as "the illest DJ," and she has since shared the stage with icons of the hip-hop and funk scenes, including George Clinton, Grandmaster Flash, Talib Kweli, The Beatnuts, and Illa J. Deepening her connection to Mexican culture through her global travels, she opened the taco restaurant "Casa De Sarasa" in Shibuya, Tokyo; the establishment has received high praise, including recognition from Mexican media as one of the best Mexican restaurants abroad. In 2024, she was appointed brand ambassador for Código 1530 Tequila, a premium brand dedicated to tradition and quality. She continues to bridge Japan and the world through her work across the realms of music, food, and culture.
