INTERNATIONAL VIBE MERCHANT

A Philippine immigrant whose journey spans the sun-drenched 80s of SoCal to the gritty creativity of New York and the Bay Area, Broad Strokes translates a lifetime of influences into a sound rooted in Hip-Hop, R&B, and Dance music of all kinds.

This musicality is deep-seated: a path that began in church choirs and school musicals, evolved through years of learning piano and guitar, and channeled into leading an indie band. Today, these diverse chapters inform an intuitive style that translates to any stage — from high-energy festivals and clubs to the curated intimacy of bars, lounges, and private events. True to her name, Broad Strokes paints with a wide palette, driven by a singular mission: finding the sounds that inspire movement and dance — and that deep sense of connection that follows on the dance floor.

As part of her mission of fostering community on the dance floor, she founded the Bay Area DJ Calendar (bayareadjcalendar.com) as a resource to help people discover music and events all over the Bay Area.
