DJ E

At the age of 16, Erica Jones rambled through her mom’s crates of vinyl records, intrigued by every genre of music she heard. This was the beginning of a life long infatuation with sound and music. She began using her mother’s records to make mix cassettes for her friends in high school. While attending Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland, she started throwing parties in her dorm room with her mix tapes serving as entertainment. After leaving college, she spent several years as a mobile dj and radio personality on community radio WRFG 89.3FM in Atlanta.

With a passion for sound and all the technical aspects behind it, she pursued a career in radio as an operations manager and production director with Salem Media of Georgia (WFSH 104.7FM, WNIV 970AM, WGKA 1190AM). The years she spent in radio fueled her passion for sound. In late 2001, she walked away from radio to work with musicians as a live sound engineer. By 2002, she was an A-level certified live sound engineer and servicing musicians all throughout the Atlanta area.

In March of 2005, she started Addeck Pro Sound, a full service sound installation and rental company. By the end of her first year in business, she had established herself as the go-to-person for sound installation for numerous clubs and churches in the Atlanta area. She was also a household name for local djs who needed to rent sound systems for their gigs. There was still another passion she needed to release. And in September of 2005, she was back on the 1’s and 2’s! She stepped back on the scene and didn’t miss a beat. Working with lesbian party promoters, Girls in the Night and Traxx Girls, along with a host of other premier promoters in Atlanta, she came back on the scene as DJ “E”. And she hasn’t looked back since.

In a few short years she had taking Atlanta by storm, spinning at some of the hottest clubs, including Apache Café, Club Esso, Club Trademark, The Blue Room, Over the Edge, Geisha House, Ten Pin, My Sister’s Room, The Gold Bar and Sugar Hill in the Underground, Center Court, Crow’s Nest, Central Park Bistro, Dreamz ATL, London Bistro, Kat’s Café, the infamous Club Miami, Utopia, Vita, 595 North and many more.

In August of 2008, DJ “E” was honored with Atlanta Pride’s Best Female DJ of the Year Award, an achievement she doesn’t take lightly. With an uncanny ability to mix any genre of music, from Hip-Hop to R&B, acid jazz to house, neo-soul to salsa, reggae to reggaeton, old school Hip-Hop to classic soul, there isn’t a party that she can’t ROCK! And thus, she has been given the title, “Lil’ Bad Azz – DJ “E”!
