Peace vibevixen.com Readers,

I’m Beverly Bond: Celebrity DJ, producer, television writer, budding philanthropist, activist, and now… ‘weekly blogger for Vibevixen.com’. I’m glad I’m doing this because I have a lot to talk to you about. But first let me give you a quick overview of how I came to be.

My music career started in 2000 when I turned my hobby, passion, respect, and love for the music into a full time gig. I’ve always believed that music is supposed to feed your soul. That is how I approach every party. I would take my crowd on a musical journey. Every time I spun I’d receive much praise, appreciation, and respect which made me work even harder to keep the audience stimulated. My reputation was built on: my endless combination of selections, a flow that ebbed with energy, retroactive creativity, razor-sharp blending skills, an almost cosmic understanding of how to move a crowd, and last but not least my vast knowledge of musical history which allowed me to mix eras and genres into a seamless groove. All of this I attribute to growing up as a young black girl in America.

In fact, Black Americans have always had a unique, intimate, spiritual relationship with music. Since our ancestors arrival on these shores music has been our solace, a form of our communication, and our connection to the Motherland. When black people had nothing else we always had music and dance- from slave song-spirituals to the ‘soul clap’; to the beat box to the ‘ayyy-yo-aiight!!!!’ and many dances we made up along the way from soul-train’ line to lindy hopppin’, poppin’ & lockin’ bumpin ’ & woppin’ & Harlem shakin’, music and dance have always been a staple in our family structure. Connoisseurs from birth, we have always naturally understood the key ingredients for a good party.
