DJ Sunny Cheeba

DJ Sunny Cheeba (she/her) digs the depths of thrift stores, record shops, and crates from local street vendors to build her music collection. Her favorite finds range from Soul, Jazz, Salsa, Disco, Reggae, Afro-Beat, Hip-Hop, and everything in between. For her, collecting records has become much more than looking for the perfect beat but a way of preserving our rich culture and history.

In the summer of 2015, shortly after acquiring her first turntables, Sunny founded Uptown Vinyl Supreme; a DJ collective that pays homage to the analog roots of music, party, and dance culture. With the strong belief that records have the power to uplift, inspire, and heal the people U.V.S. explores progressive ways in which this power can reach audiences all over the world, be it through dance gatherings, individual sessions, workshops, private functions, or cultural institutions. Sunny's everyday soundtrack and diverse record collection reflect the pulse of her Bronx, NY heritage.
