DJ VANESSA HOLLIDAY

Music Style: Funky house, Electro, Progressive, Sexy Techno

25-year old Vanessa Holliday has been making her mark from behind the decks since 2002. Vanessa’s versatility, ardent passion for the music & infectious personality has ensured her almost overnight success in a fickle but competitive industry. Initially rising to popularity playing an uplifting progressive and trance based sound & citing Tiesto and Paul van Dyk as her early influences, Vanessa quickly became in demand across SA at smaller venues like Submission and Evolution as well as larger events. Her first big gigs were the H2O vs Sutra's ‘03/’04 New Years Eve event followed soon thereafter by the H2O featuring Sister Bliss.

Broadening her horizons in 2005, Vanessa Holliday started mixing funky beats as well and now consistently serves up her signature electro tinged, funky house sound all over the country at clubbing venues from Sutra, Laboom, Groove Café, Natural Groove and Vacca Matta to Opium, Chrome, Partyhouse, Taboo, Odds & Club54. Currently an integral member of the Deckalicious crew, known as the only female DJ focused dance club feature on SA radio, Vanessa all the while commands a weekly residency for the News Café franchise in tandem with fellow blonde shejay bombshell and close friend, Hayley Hunter. Recent high profile gigs have included Vanessa’s performance alongside International Trance superstar Sean Tyas at Turbulence & her inclusion in the support line-up for Deep Dish (Sharam) at Urbanwave’s Camel event.

Her personal credo of, "If you love what you do, you will never have to work a day in your life!" stands testament to Vanessa’s driving passion and unyielding commitment to her professional DJ career. Blessed with pure, effervescent female energy oozing from her every pore, Vanessa Holliday is a natural entertainer in possession of a rare ability for rocking every dance floor resoundingly RIGHT!
