Graciela Cain, professionally known as GeeXella (pronounced Jee-EL-LUH), is a transdisciplinary artist currently based in Atlanta, GA. Occupying space in Muscogee Creek Land, also known as Atlanta, GA. A skilled curator with a multicultural approach when it comes to setting a vibe on the dancefloor, they have become sought after thanks to their soulful DJ sets that blur the lines between house, R&B, and everything in between. This, along with GeeXella’s unwavering commitment to building safer club spaces, has earned them the support of artists like LP Giobbi, Channel Tres, Cakes da Killa, and Baby Weight 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 E3 Youth Summit, Black Girls Code, and Femme House where they currently act as an ambassador and facilitator.
