About Heather Christie & Vir McCoy:
Heather Christie is a multi-talented artist—a DJ, producer, vocalist, songwriter, mentor, music label founder, and mother—dedicated to ushering in a new wave of feminine musical creation. Her journey as a trailblazer in both motherhood and music has gone viral, earning features in multiple publications.
Joining her is Vir McCoy, a dynamic multi-instrumentalist known for his mastery of guitar, Irish tenor banjo, djeli ngoni (Mali), and the Turkish cümbüş. As the founder of the iconic worldbeat band Hamsa Lila, Vir has performed alongside legends like the Mickey Hart Band and Dirtwire.
Together, Heather and Vir are a powerhouse duo—songwriters, co-producers, and innovators—currently completing their second full-length album. Their music resonates across Ecstatic Dance floors, festival stages, and even in commercials, carried by the winds of inspiration.
Their live set is an immersive experience, blending hypnotic rhythms with organic instrumentation for a journey that shakes the dance floor and uplifts the spirit. Expect deep grooves, high vibes, and a connection to something greater.
