ABOUT PAM THE FUNKSTRESS
As one of the true pioneers of all female DJs, the Hip Hop community has embraced the Funkstress for more than a decade not only as a club DJ but as a performing artist. She busted out on the recording scene as a member of The Coup in 1993 with their debut album “Kill My Landlord”. Filling a political underground void, the East Oakland based Coup, earned critical acclaim by following up with “Genocide and Juice” (1994), and “Steal this Album” (1998). The Funkstress has been featured in music publications such as Rolling Stone Magazine, 4080, Rap Pages, Ms., Fader and Wired just to name a few. From KRS-One to Grandmaster Flash to Sean “Puffy” Combs in Europe, Pam the Funkstress has answered the call of duty to get the crowd fired up. >>Read More
