D.Luxe is inspired by all genres; “If you like music,
you’ll like all music that’s good,” she says. Growing up in
Chicago listening to House, Soul, Funk, Disco, The Bee
Gees, Madonna and Barry White D.Luxe has always been
connected to music. “I remember even crying when I
heard some songs as a little girl.” Unaware of her destiny
back then, she also recalls recording songs from the radio
on cassettes and later on making mixtapes for her friends
when she moved to Florida. Evidently, she’s no novice. “I’ve
been into music hardcore for forever,” she conceded.
Barbados has been home for Dionna and her family for
5 years. She’s been married for 15 years and has three kids;
10, 12 & 14. She co-owns two businesses with her husband;
Barbados Gold Buyers and a fresh modern pawnshop
called iExchange.
Just like her mixes, her fashion sense is influenced by a
plethora of styles. Her mantra “Classy never Trashy” forms
the foundation of each outfit she constructs. “I’m just
trying to represent in a classy way for the ladies and for
young girls to look up and say, ‘wow, look she’s not a naked
DJ’,” D.Luxe said.
On regular days, she sporadically indulges her tomboy
side but when she’s spinning; her attire is anything but that;
it’s strictly heels. She even coordinates her headphones
with her outfits. How chic is that?
