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
