A Native New Yorker of Dominican decent, Joann's sensibility of various cultures has allowed her to produce groundbreaking events within the Latino, Caribbean, Brazilian and art/dance communities for over six years now. The stars were all in her favor when her first involvement in the music industry was with the legendary party Body and Soul in 1998. Her affiliations include Francois K's. music label Wave Music and Deep Space. After her first trip to Brazil in 2004, she along with DJ True and Miller Cruz started a monthly event called ALMA NYC (myspace.com/almanyc), later accompanied by Manchildblack. Later, getting back to her more intimate roots, Joann co-foundeded her next endeavor, a Latin party celebrating Afro-Latin soul called RAZA (myspace.com/razanyc) which has been happening now for over a year. She continues to reinvent herself as she brings her personal flair to this musical life style! You can read up more on her at: myspace.com/joann_jimenez.
