New York City-based DJ Miss Bliss is on a
mission to pioneer the happy sound in a place where sunshine is not
the norm. Known for uplifting sets at her own weekly party in the
heart of the East Village, she's also been spreading the funky-sweet
breakbeat gospel in such far flung places as Los Angeles, CA; Panama
City, FL; Atlanta, GA; and Birmingham, AL. When she isn't on the
road, she's holed up in her home recording studio masterminding the
release of her debut tracks.

Miss Bliss started at a young age with classical
piano and worked her way through musical influences as diverse as
jazz, reggae, and surf-rock. By high school Miss Bliss began
attending the seminal Konkrete Jungle parties where she got her
first delectable taste of drum & bass and breakbeat. But the fun
really began when Miss Bliss moved to LA for college where she
quickly became an integral part of the close-knit electronic music
scene on campus. She began spinning at the student-organized weekly
party "Table Manners," which soon led to frequent gigs at campus
events, house parties, and charity fundraisers.

With breakbeats coursing through her veins, Miss
Bliss graduated and returned home to get to work. Once back in New
York, Miss Bliss oversaw the breaks and jungle content of an online
club-lifestyle magazine while continuing to hone her DJing skills at
her own strictly-breaks "Sunday School" weekly. This was the first
breaks party in NYC in years, and was instrumental in kicking off
the breaks craze that has infected New York because it allowed
people who were passionate about the music to finally meet each
other and start working on projects. Shortly thereafter, Miss Bliss
was booked for the massive annual "Goddess" party in Atlanta. This
booking led to more in the area and Miss Bliss was added to the
Peace Continuum roster.

Many parties, raves and events later, Miss Bliss is still
thrilled to be working with the Peace Continuum crew. Inspired by
their infectious enthusiasm and tireless devotion to charity, Miss
Bliss has encouraged other promoters to engage in community service
activities. Nomenclature, an Atlanta venue where Miss Bliss
currently holds a residency, agreed to donate half of its proceeds
from the October "FlyGirls" party to the American Red Cross
following the September 11th attack on the World Trade Center.
Miss Bliss recently signed with Intellihance Records. She is
currently producing music at Intellihance's NYC studio and looking
forward to spreading the love for happy breaks at venues around the
globe.
Miss Bliss has performed with: Polywog, Spacegirl, DJ Fixx,
Debbie D, DJ 43, Odi, Analog Pussy, Prophecy, Justin Johnson, Tom
Grin, Clay Ivey, Shortee, DJ Keri, DJ Tracey, Ariel Cybana, Siren,
Eve, The Punisher, Trixie and many more.
