A little about Whitney...
She shreds the dance floor at the decks, she sang Hercules & Love Affair's last single, and toured with them too, she then joined the New Order family as their tour DJ. She has a solo EP that is so near finished, it's driving her mad, and is writing a follow up EP with some of her buds in New Order. Wacky tidbits: DJ Harvey once put his third chakra in her headphones, and multiple important people have said she's not the absolute worst.... that being said...
In comparing life experience, Whitney Fierce has a pretty impressive resume. For starters, she was kidnapped in Egypt by camelback at age 11, held hostage in Ethiopia years later, and has been proposed to nearly a dozen times. She's been a college drop-out and graduate, model, magazine editor, fine piece of arm candy, fashion entrepreneur, cultural curator and party promoter. She's studied Swahili in Zanzibar, backpacked through nine countries, lived over seas and stateside on both coasts and in between, and as a DJ in her own right and the touring DJ for New Order as well as a guest/touring vocalist for Hercules and Love Affair, she has performed at some of the world's most massive festivals, venues and events, thanks to the clout of her name, a little clever scheming and free-spirited swagger. And while that all hardly covers the full biography of Whitney Fierce, it is enough to make you feel a tad jealous and wonder what it is you've been doing with your life.
A California-native raised between Detroit and Los Angeles, Fierce was led to dance music after falling in with the DFA Records crew. With them, she moved from L.A. to New York, and started throwing her own wildly successful parties across the city. Spinning records was a new trick but she dove in with a fearless punk attitude, and was quickly recruited by brands, promoters, and others as the hot new DJ in town. Building on a solid foundation of house and disco, Fierce began blending her background of classical musicianship with a powerful flair for the eccentric, producing her own tracks with an acute obsession over the minute details. Without fail, this hard work bears bangers pumped-full with catharsis and a stylish humor that basks in the dance-floor madness. This may very well not be Fierce's sole calling, but for such a creative factotum it's certainly working for now.
As for that resume of hers, and everything that led her here now, "I let the universe kind of dictate what I do," she says, "but I'm nice to everyone around me and I act freely, kind of like a floating entity, letting the road take me where it will."
