Kadija Bah, also known as DJ AQ, is a Harlem native of South African and Guinean descent. Kadija has a long-standing love for entertainment, as she began dancing and playing the violin at the age of seven. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Journalism at Buffalo State before returning to New York City to realize her ambitions as a DJ and professional dancer.

An abbreviation of “Afrikan Queen”, her name encapsulates her specialization in the sounds of the African diaspora; afro-house, afrobeat, gqom and amapiano.
