In just a few short years, SuperDre has brought her unique sound and contagious stage energy to packed dance floors and events across the nation.

Releasing her funky, minimal techno sound on her boutique label, Bass Candi, SuperDre thrives in the live environment delivering most of her sets on turntables along with midi controllers, an art becoming more and more rare among Producers/DJs.

Her appearances and accolades also include independent films, holding down the popular “AFTER Club 104.5,” on Grand Rapids’ largest radio station, 104.5 WSNX, as well as in 2009 being voted the area’s “DJ of the Year” and one of the “Top 10 Most Influential” electronic artists to come out of the region.

Serving up her distincitve brand across genres, demos and venues, SuperDre has shared the stage with DJs/Producers such as DJ Irene, Filastine, Bassnectar, John Acquaviva, Ana Sia, Heavygrinder, Woody McBride, Reid Speed, Eliot Lipp, Punisher, Terrence Parker and many more, as well as a variety of other national indie and electronic bands.
