Before the Parade, the Pre-Game
If you’ve ever gotten ready for a Pride event, wedding, or night out that actually means something, you know it’s not just about getting dressed. It’s a ritual. A transformation. A full-blown moment. And like any good moment—it needs a soundtrack.
As a professional DJ based in Los Angeles and a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I’ve curated hundreds of Pride parties, private events, and club nights. And let me tell you, the get ready phase is just as important as the main event.
You need music that hypes you up, centers your energy, and sets the tone for what’s about to go down.
This Isn’t Background Noise—It’s a Vibe
Most mainstream playlists don’t reflect the joy, power, and freedom of queer expression. That’s why I created this: a pre-party playlist designed for glam squads, mirror moments, and main character entrances.
This isn’t just a collection of queer bops. It’s a GRWM set that builds with intention, ignites confidence, and gets you in formation before you step out.
