About DJ Dimepiece:
Making her way quickly to the scene, DJ Dimepiece has continued to make her mark as the south’s premiere female DJ. Hailing from the sunny state of California, Dimepiece came to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue her college career at Fisk University. Always desiring to get into radio, Dimepiece began interning at the university’s radio station, 88.1 WFSK. By her sophomore year she hosted a R&B midday shift and soon landed a weeknight shift. To supplement her show with the hottest music, Dimepiece would purchase mix CDs and mixtapes from Nashville’s well known music store, Platinum Bound Records. The store owners, DJ Infamous, DJ Outlaw and Janiro would always encourage Dimepiece to learn the craft and start making her own mixtapes and CDs. With that in mind, Dimepiece made it a priority to become a DJ. She began to practice on the University’s turntables, hanging out at the city’s clubs to spin with DJs and soon opening for one of Nashville’s known DJs, Derek Jurand, who Dimepiece also claims as her mentor. Meeting Derek Jurand at 92Q, sister station of Blazin 106.7 where she interned, Derek saw the grind and hunger in Dimepiece and took her under his wing. Introducing her to one of the biggest DJ organizations, Tech.Nitions, where Dimepiece later became drafted in September 2003. In 2004, Dimepiece went from interning at Blazin 106.7 to landing a part time position as an on air personality/DJ. In addition, she joined Huntsville, Alabama’s number one hip hop and R&B station, Power 93.3 part time. Topping the year with the Southern Entertainment Award, “Female DJ of the Year,” for 2005, the sky is the limit for Dimepiece. She is now spinning at 101.1 The WIZ Overnights (2-6am), Friday Night House Party & Saturday Night Street Party (12-2am). Definitely be on the look out for major things from this female spinstress.
