DJ KISS

Deejay and red-carpet personality, JaKissa Taylor, is better known to fans as DJ KISS or KISSTHEDEEJAY! Recently featured as the "DJ of the week" on Myspace.com, Kiss was also named one of the “Sexiest Starlets of 2009” by Foxnews.com, and a "Woman on the Verge" by Playboy.com. This New York-based beauty brings her love of music and people wherever she goes. Attend any of the country’s hottest fashion, music, or corporate events and you’ll likely catch her behind the turntables serving up her signature mix of sexy, high energy tunes.

DJ KISS regularly performs at high profile fashion, music, and corporate events around the country. Sean “Diddy” Combs has personally requested KISS to spin at many of his sexiest parties, most recently at Madonna and Demi Moore’s private post-Oscar party, which he hosted in LA, and at his L’Uomo Vogue Cover celebration in NYC.

A Louisiana native, DJ KISS, moved to New York to pursue a career in entertainment. She has modeled for several publications, as well as in campaigns for prêt-a-porter, Victoria Bond, and Tamara Pogosian. Later, KISS studied acting at the esteemed William Esper Studio in Manhattan. The Meisner-trained actress has appeared in two independent films and several commercials. In 2005, KISS landed a coveted gig as a red carpet correspondent for a popular online entertainment program, where she worked red carpets alongside veteran correspondents interviewing today’s hottest artists such as Jay-Z, Ludacris, Fall-Out Boy, Ashanti, Wyclef Jean, and Chris Brown; musical legends of our time (Quincy Jones); A-list actors and personalities (David Hasselhoff, Angela Bassett, Regina King, Garcelle Beauvis, Carson Daly, Damon Wayans, Tyson Beckford, Mario Cantone, Paul Reuben, Phylicia Rashad, Star Jones, Nick Cannon); and world class athletes (Chris Webber, Gary Payton, Tony Hawk). Her reel is available upon request.

A music lover and collector all of her life, KISS discovered “the mix” after a chance meeting with her mentor, DJ M.O.S. Impressed with her extensive musical knowledge and sheer love of music, M.O.S. decided to teach her the basics of DJing. Shortly thereafter, KISS bought two Technics 1200s, a set of her favorite classic soul records, and began practicing everyday. Upon the urging of some friends she made her DJ debut at the exclusive Cain nightclub. Her debut was met with such a good response she was soon spinning at some of NYC’s hottest spots.

DJ KISS has earned the respect of her DJ peers and tough New York crowds with her talent and knowledge of music. Kiss has also complied an impressive mixtape discography along the way, releasing a total of 10 mixes, all of which are available for download on her KISS MUSIC podcast: kissthedeejay.podomatic.com.
