Jyoti B.Fly

Growing up in London, Jyoti B.Fly spent years in disciplined study of Carnatic music and Bharatanatyam at the Bhavan, and then, as a teenager, discovered the dance floors of nightclubs, where she could express herself and explore music entirely on her own terms. Experiencing the best DJs in UK underground dance music cracked something open that has fuelled her craft since.

That journey has taken her from London to Florida to Seattle, where she has spent nineteen years behind the decks. She hosts Wo’Pop on listener-powered KEXP, where she has interviewed Anoushka Shankar, Ganavya, Stavroz, and Raveena live in the famed KEXP studio, and holds a residency at Caravan Seattle. Her live credits include Benaroya Hall, Cascadia Festival, APOG, and a range of nightclubs in the Pacific Northwest.

She curates transformative journeys within the realms of electronic dance music and beyond — spaciously groovy and worldly, with vibes as thick as the basslines. Her broad crate spans Francis Bebey, Kraak & Smaak, Rick Wade, Sofia Kourtesis, and Nikki Nair, covering five decades and as many continents. World music helped her feel connected through the art she was presenting to the world, and she has been intentional about amplifying underrepresented artists ever since.

From corporate events and fundraisers to festival stages and late-night club sets, she brings the same focus and range to every room. The people in those rooms: creatives, activists, dancers, families, find themselves inexplicably grooving to her tunes as she guides people on a journey through moods and cultures.

Her work, in music and beyond, advocates for creative freedom as the fuel for social change. The dance floor is where that belief is most alive.
