when it comes to setting a vibe on the dance floor, they have become sought after thanks to their soulful DJ sets that blur the lines between house, reggaeton, soca and everything in between. This, along with GeeXella’s unwavering commitment to building safer club spaces, GeeXella has opened for Channel Tres, Tokischa, Cakes da Killa, and among others. In 2018, after acknowledging a lack of LGBTQ+ and BIPOC oriented dance spaces in the American south, GeeXella started the dance party ‘Duval Folx’ in Jacksonville, Florida. Since its inception, the residency has helped bridge a gap between intersectional advocacy and the “PLUR” code of ethics present within the greater dance music community. This, combined with their unique talents as a producer, has led to involvement with organizations such as the Black Girls Code, Femme House GSA Network, and Duval County Public Schools to name a few. GeeXella has been a mainstay in the queer party scene, performing at festivals including SXSW, Winterland, and Inverse Performance Art Festival. They have also regularly been featured as a co-host on Femme House Radio via SiriusXM, often times providing valuable insight to interviews due to their background as an activist , musician and scholar. A leader in every sense of the word with no signs of slowing down, GeeXella continues to be a force of nature in clubs – and a voice for marginalized communities
