She is known for her heavy-hitting signature sound of Nu-Skool Breaks infused with some Trance-like elements. Her career began at age 16 in San Francisco's underground rave circuit where she diligently rose in the ranks at a time when professional female DJs were few. By the age of 20, she had already produced countless events, toured much of the United States as well as across the globe. This early recognition later gained her success in the media with countless residencies and guest spots on a plethora of dance music radio shows and features in high-rated television series on major cable channels. Currently she is ranked number 85 in Shejay's Top 100 Female DJs List and continues to make her mark on nightclubs, massives and festivals around the world. It's no wonder why ICON plays "Trancey" Breaks since she originally was a Trance DJ up until 2001, when she converted to Breaks at the same time she moved to New York City to co-found Sister NYC, the East Coast chapter of the original all female DJ collective from San Francisco, Sister SF. Today, she is an integral member of the San Francisco based collective, Femme DJs. Since her return to San Francisco in 2003, ICON has partnered up with longtime friend and mentor, DJ Mystre, to establish Reverb Records, known as San Francisco's best source for all genres of underground electronic dance music. In addition to her duties as Manager and Breaks Buyer, together they also promote large scale events showcasing local talent and headlining acts from around the world. Next on their agenda is the Reverb record label and new online venture, DanceMusic1.com. ICON currently has a monthly residency on Breaks show "Thump Funk" on XM Satellite Radio. She has also been a repeat guest on many long-running dance music radio shows such as "Subsonic" on Live 105 in the Bay Area, "Solid State" on KROCK in NYC, "House Nation" on Wild 94.9 in the Bay Area, "Radio Zendada" on Energy 92.7 in the Bay Area, "Future Breaks FM", "Bassline FM" and countless others. Among the highlights of ICON's resumΘ are two major television series where she played the role of herself. In 2001, she was featured as one of the United States' 12 most promising up and coming DJs in "Disc Jockey", a twelve-part documentary mini-series that aired on cable channels ShowtimeÖ and ShoNextÖ. Then in 2003, she was chosen out of hundreds to be the DJ on MTV'sÖ "The Wade Robson Project", a dance competition hosted by super choreographer, "Wade Robson". The show instantly became a hit and was later aired on MTVÖ in the UK, all of Europe, Australia and Asia gaining ICON massive exposure all over the world. ICON has the honor of being represented by Chaotica Music Agency, one of the most renowned booking agencies in the world. She is on the same roster and often performs with many of the top acts in the industry including Paul Oakenfold, The Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, Plump DJs, Adam Freeland, Stanton Warriors, Sandra Collins, Hernan Cattaneo and many more.
