Athena
Athena, also known as the breakbeatdiva, was born and raised in
Cali and has been a lover of music since day one. "Music has
always been my life...my one true love." While learning to
speak her father (a gifted and talented musican) taught her how
to imitate the cords and notes using her voice.
Having her ear trained at such a young age, having the right attitude
and being surrounded by awesome DJs, willing to share their knowlege
of DJing such as btdub, DJ Bird, and DJ Darkstar, it is no wonder
that this girl has quickly become one of the most talented and respected
breaks DJs in tahoe and all surrounding areas. She's played at over
20 events and parties in her short time behind the decks.
Loving and participating in the scene since '98 Athena has always
been nothing less than intruiged by the DJ/producer. Seeing the
way they could manipulate the crowd into a united tribe of dancers
inspired her, and she became obsessed. Party going nearly every
weekend for 4 years, she continued to dance her heart out--loving,
respecting, and supporting the scene although she could feel the
love dying.
She never lost heart. In Jan 2001 Athena felt she had paid her
dues and decided she could no longer stand by and watch while the
scene that she loved so much was struggling. She had to become fully
one with what she had been a part of for years. It was time to take
a stand behind the decks and fight for a positive change.
Athena was confused and torn searching for direction, buying any
record she liked regardless of genre until Cyber Fest 2001. Uberzone's
live set was the answer she had been looking for, the way the beats
made her feel was beautiful--the ultimate inspiration--and from
that time on she knew she would play nothing but breaks.
Since then she has molded and perfected a sick style unlike any
other that defines her, and has been known to rock a crowd with
her energy and unique beats. Athena's intense love and passion is
never ending and as long as there is a breath in her body, she will
always be a guiding light and inspiration to those who need her.
And of course she will never stop pumping out those hard broken
beats!
"Now is the time, we are the leaders in this neverending dance
for freedom..Attidudes must stay positive and to those who are less
fortunate we must be the strength, and the inspiration..We must
educate and we will. Gravity Crew is my family and I honestly believe
that we have the heart and soul to go all the way. There is no obsticle
we can not over come together.We are one massive
driving force and we are here for one purpose..to UNITE!!"
Peace Love and Break Beats Always~Athena
