Transgender DJ, noted fashion expert, and political activist Honey Dijon (born Honey Redmond) gained her musical skill by imbedding herself as a teenager in the music scene of her hometown, Chicago, Illinois. Learning from such notable figures as Greenskeepers and Derrick Carter, she took her skills to New York City in the late 90s where she became a fixture in the city’s underground clubs. An immense love of all music made her able to shift effortlessly to meet different demands—she became equally adept at spinning and creating house, disco, and techno music. Her debut album, The Best of Both Worlds, came out in 2017, and she became one of the most sought-after musical figures in the fashion industry. She scored the runway shows and after parties for many high-powered designers including Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Riccardo Tisci. She regularly gave interviews discussing the issues faced by the trans community and the black community both in the music industry and in general, often reminding people that underground dance music came from these subcultures. She scored a charting single in the UK in 2020 with an extended mix of “Not About You”, featuring Hadiya George.
