Goooood morning! Today on the pod Ayeesha is joined by Shaquille Wasasala aka @half.queen. Shaquille is an Auckland based DJ and truth teller whose sets are just as unapologetic and empowered as her presence in every space. Rooted in the experience of her Fijian and Pākēha bloodlines, her background has influenced a confluence of sound that is ever-evolving; musically speaking into a local and global sense of diaspora. She’s gone a step further and with her friend and collaborator, JessB, she has created QTBIPOC club night FILTH which continues to uplift the marginalised and decolonise the dance floor. Shaquille says it herself, but she’s truly living a full life. From her extreme self awareness as a child, to film school, to having Shabbat with Madonna. It’s all there. It’s all in this yarn. P.S. Shaquille is extremely funny.
