— MEET THE DJ —
Brittany Greer (she/her), aka HoneyPocket, has been into co-creation and passion fusion her whole life. As a multi disciplinarian, she draws inspiration from the world around her and brings a blended mixture of skills and experience to the table - both figuratively & literally. Her musical tastes encompass this desire for blending and merging sounds together so you'll often hear a variety of genres, samples, reworks, and original tracks ranging from jazz, funk, hip hop, and latin roots to your newer sub-genres of house, future soul, and vapor twitch. She enjoys providing atmosphere in collaboration with what else is happening in a space - from cocktail lounge, to brunch, to members club meetups - she aims to enhance the vibe of what's already been curated.
