Biography of Jacqui
Jacqui was born and bred in Zambia, Africa and comes from a music lovin' family. From a very young age she was singing soul music in bars with her sister and brother while 'hippie Mom' played the piano.
Jacqui fell in love with electronic music the first time she heard in 1994 and has mixed and bought records regularly since then. She has worked in the 'milieu' for years, booking for many events and clubs in and around Switzerland: Veaudoux Club (CH), Electropole (FR), Knock Out Festival (CH), EMCS (Electronic Music Convention of Switzerland -CH), Cameleon (CH), Markethalle (CH), L'An Fer (FR) to name but a few.
Booking and management took up most of her time until she became resident at 'La CauseTek' (literally 'The Talk Tek') in Lausanne where she joined the Jeroboam Collective fathered by Spleen and Dada, and since then has worked at her djing skills seriously and now plays as resident also at The Veaudoux Club. She has played at the Macumba (FR) on several occasions and the (infamous) Markethalle in Bern, Rocking Chair in Vevey, TooSee in Fribourg, MAD in Lausanne, Le Cercle, Lausanne, La Casa Chocs in Neuchatel, Dolmen Jazz, Sion, D! Club, Lausanne, 4310 Club, Lausanne, Bleu Lezard, Lausanne, Cameleon in Moutier , MOA in Geneva, L'Amnesia (La Voile D'Or) in Lausanne to name but a few as well as on radios such as Couleur 3 and Radio One FM.
Some artists she has played with: Highfish (WMF), Luciano, Sonia Moonear, Smash TV, Ellen Alien, Louis Austen, Chicks on Speed, Soul Designer aka Fabric Lig, Frank Master and Mirweis Sanguin.
She is regularly in Tribal Zone Studios with Frank Master, dabbling at this and that.
She presents a live radio program once a month on local Radio Chablai called 'LIVE DJ' with Laurent Kern (Trock) The program is dedicated to djing and focuses on motivating new talent.
Her musical influences are wide and varied and this can be felt in her music where she finds it difficult to abide to one particular 'style' At first she was tempted by techno / hard techno and was greatly influenced by artists such as Dave Clark, Robert Hood, Claude Young etc then swerved to darker Electro (Neil Landstrum and such) before finding herself doing what she really loves: groovy clicks 'n cuts, with a sexy vibe.
She also does 60s /70s funky soul /Disco as aka Motown Mama. She best describes her music as 'shake 'ya ass music' and now sticks to anything that has a groove to it, be it Tekhouse, Groove Electro, FunkyTek or Minimal Tekhouse.
Jacqui is best behind the turntables, as a performing artist, her warm character and antics make her a local favourite.
