DJ Rap is CHARISSA SAVERIO and has been the undisputed queen of the turntables and voted the #1 female DJ in the world by Shejay. She owns, records for, runs and &Rs two labels, Propa Talent and Impropa Talent. Dj Rap is a producer, recording artist and an actor. She has been a prime mover on the Drum & Bass scene but not content to just sit in the studio and direct, she learned her craft as an engineer and produced many classics, often while collaborating with other artists. Hits like "Spiritual Aura" changed the face of Drum and Bass and lead to the birth of Proper Talent.
After being the first artist on the scene to self-release her first CD, she gathered interest from Sony and was soon signed to them along with the likes of Grooverider and Leftfield, where she surprised us again with a new sound. Rolling Stone Magazine gave Learning Curve three and a half stars "this is the record Madonna wanted to make." Learning Curve went on to sell over 1000,000 bringing her total sales to over 3000,000 copies worldwide which include the successful compilations “Journeys By DJ”, “Propa Classics Vol. 1 & 2”, “Brave New World”, “Armani Exchange & Touching Bass”, “Bulletproof” and “Up All Night”. Crossing genres and has become DJ Rap's trademark.
Now we see the long awaited follow up to "learning curve" with "SYNTHESIS" which is a fusion of beauty, rock and electronica. Every lyric is heartfelt and raw, produced by DJRAP and Tyler Bhorntus . DJ Rap is currently doing shows with her band and sharing stages with amazing artists such as SEAL.
From the beginning days of Icon Collective, DJ Rap has been an avid supporter of IC, recognizing the need for a place where artists can help mold and nurture the next generation of aspiring artists and producers. As an Advisor, DJ Rap brings a wealth of wisdom and experience as Label Owner, Producer, Recording Artist and Dance Mega Star to our Collective.
