DJ PERLY MAKES DMC HISTORY AS FIRST WOMAN TO WIN TWO U.S. CHAMPIONSHIPS

DJ Perly has made DMC history once again as the first woman turntablist to win two U.S. DMC Championships, earning the coveted title in 2017 and again in August.

Hailing from the Bronx, the Puerto Rican-Russian powerhouse has been behind the decks since she was 12. Now in her 20s, Perly has dedicated her life to honing her craft, garnering praise from A-Trak, DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Rob Swift, Mista Sinista and other notable turntablists along the way.

“It’s an honor and I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent the U.S in the finals again,” Perly tells HipHopDX. “Prepping for any battle is tough, no lie. It’s all about hard work and determination. I always knew that deep down inside I had it in me to do, I just needed to dive deeper from within, meditate, connect with myself, work harder and focus.
