She has been known to say, “If a DJ cannot entertain oneself during their sets from time to time, what's the point?” This attitude definitely comes through in her DJ sets. Raised in the Chicagoland area of Indiana, Cynthia experienced the disco/house transition of the early 80s and the house/rave transition in the early 90s. She waited to purchase gear and teach herself to dj until she moved to Portland in 2000. She attributes the encouragement to move from spectator to participant solely to Portland’s positive attitude toward women in music of all forms. The years in between bear witness to a love story between a girl and music of all kinds: from the Beatles to AC/DC, Kraftwerk, Bikini Kill, and Underworld, with a memory attached to every song in between. A driving force in the PDX techno and minimal scene that emerged in the early and mid 00s, Cyn founded Sexy Robot Music, a local collective who held numerous events at the city’s most cutting edge venues. She also has served as a founding member of each of the famed Shameless, and now defunct Alga-Rhythms, collectives. Now nationally represented by Simple Balance of Miami, FL, Cyn has traveled to NYC, SF, Seattle and Austin to perform during 2013. When not traveling for gigs, She continues to spearhead the effort to bring a host of top-notch talent to PDX. And enjoys regularly sharing the stage with her colleagues from both the Dirtybird and Wolf + Lamb crews. Cyn shines most when she is performing regularly throughout the city, inspiring crowds with her own sets. 2013 performances have included travel to NYC, SF, Seattle, and Austin. Her recent foray into her own productions has reinvented her sound as well. Watch this space for more info on upcoming productions. Now armed with proper instruments, a technical background, and a lifetime of care and attention to music, Cyn finally gives back to this thing that had brought her to many positive people and experiences in her experience: music. click on ABOUT for more dates
