Paris caught up with icon Honeyluv, chatting about the navy, basketball, music, and food!
Originally from Cleveland, Honeyluv grew up listening to '90s house music with her mother, the likes of Cece Penison, Frankie Knuckles, etc. were on repeat. Today, it's female icons Peggy Gou and Honey Djion that serve an inspiration.
Named by Billboard as 1 of the 10 Dance Artists to Watch in 2022, female house and techno producer/DJ Honeyluv is one of the hottest DJs breaking through on an international level this year. When an injury prevented her from making it in basketball at NCAA level, Honeyluv opted to serve as a drone operator in the Navy to pay for college, and taught herself to DJ in the barracks. Now captivating live audiences on festival stages like Coachella and Outside Lands with her futuristic, deep tech sound, Honeyluv has become an essential figure in a new generation of Black artists shaping the sound of dance music.
