BEKI POWELL is a multi-media artist, DJ, writer, and model born & raised in New York. Her artwork ranges from oil paintings to large-scale installations, often marked by vivid, dreamy colour palates and heavily defined imagery. While her roots were founded in visual art, her creative energy eventually channeled into music – within which she applies the same principles she does to art. A few key words: soul, flow, energy, feeling. Always in the business of RESPECTING the GROOVE.
Beki's unique sound spans different genres & time periods, intertwining the past & present. She believes a truly great music listening experience relies on a delicate balance of satisfying people’s expectations, & surprising them with unexpected moments & outcomes.
Beki has held DJ residencies in NYC and Miami and plays frequently in Montréal. Residencies include: The Electric Pickle, ATV, No 3 Social, Treehouse, Nomad, New Yorker, TSL, Congress Hotel (MIA), Bushwick A/V, TBA, Output / Panther Room, National Underground (NYC), and Le Salon Daomé (MTL).
Beki was awarded Best DJ by Miami New Times People's Choice Awards. She co-hosts monthly radio show "Birds in Paradise" which airs every 1st Thursday of the month on Jolt Radio.
Over the past two decades, Beki has participated in dozens of art exhibitions, both solo & collaborative. An extremely prolific artist, since childhood, Beki has not stopped generating creative output. Her range is incredibly vast. She is versatile in every sense of the word. Whether it be art, music, writing, modeling, & so forth, she does it all. Most importantly, she does it well. Her motives are nothing more than the pure, intrinsic enjoyment of conceiving an idea & making it reality.
It is Beki’s firm, genuine belief that music & art are meant to be shared. There is nothing like experiencing those electrifying, emotion-soaked moments, alongside the hearts of others. Please feel free to allow your paths to intersect hers; her doors are always open and welcoming.
