Chico Chi (he/they) is a queer and non-binary transmasc DJ, producer and creative.
For the last six years, Chi has been making their way onto stages and featured in numerous parties across the country, sharing lineups with artists and DJs such as Princess Nokia, Sosupersam and DJ Abilities. He has also DJ’d several drag and burlesque shows. In addition, Chi has been bringing his curated, multi-genre vibes to private events of all kinds, both in person and virtually, including Universities, queer weddings and several LGBTQIA+ non-profit organization events.
Chi is also one of the co-founders of the creative and music production house, Tender Bois Club, and one of the resident DJs/organizers for the Queer & Trans People of Color (QTPOC) Centered Bay Area, CA party, Hunnies & Hot Sauce.
Between his Chinese-Cuban roots and growing up and living in cities all over the US, Chi’s music selections transcend time and space. Their curation is one that can’t be pigeon holed. When experiencing one of their sets, expect to be taken on a journey through nostalgia and beyond, hearing a mix of genres and sounds, as well as original remixes and mash ups that’ll leave you pleasantly surprised.
These days you can find Chi splitting their time between the Twin Cities, MN and California, or city hopping around the world.
