Born in Colon Panama, raised in Brooklyn, New York, Mikki Afflick is an up and coming DJ and music producer who is on the rise. Afflick comes from a family of musicians and singers, and dances to the beat of her own drum.
Afflick experienced DJing at the early age of twelve, for one of her fathers basement parties, and learned the true art of beat mixing while in High School. It was not until studying graphic arts in college that she was bit by the Paradise Garage bug this was in mid 1980s, after seeing and watching Larry Levan spin at the Paradise Garage. Afflick had a belief djing career but she walked away from the party life to pursue becoming a graphic artist, an entrepreneur having a home decorator company, then later becoming a union electrical foreman, holding the title as foreman for the World Trade Center. After the tragic events of 9/11 attacks, Afflick knew she had to fulfill her life long dreams, and pursue music.
Afflick enrolled at The New School and studied audio engineering, and SAE for music production, then started her productions in late 2005, with her very first track Soul Sun Dance being spun at WMC 2007 by the legendary DJ Tony Humphries. This is not bad for a virally unknown producer fresh out the box. Afflick quickly developed a reputation among her musical peers as being no joke when it comes to producing and being on the decks.
