One of Toronto's top female DJs, Vanessa DeWilde has been causing a commotion on dancefloors for over ten years. This hip, personable and seasoned mixtress has spun at countless parties in Toronto and Montreal. In addition to being established in the club circuit, Vanessa also performs at high-profile corporate and private functions. Some of her clients include the AGO, HMV, Pepsi and Lavalife, to name a few. Miss DeWilde is not a one-trick pony. Her lifelong passion for all music has fortified her ability to deliver a skillful blend of Rock, Alternative, Lounge, Funk, House, Hip-Hop, R&B, Top 40 and/or Salsa, depending on what she's called to do.

Vanessa strives to compile sets which are eclectic, fun and fresh, and puts a lot of effort into locating new tracks which haven't already been hammered by every DJ in town.

"What really turns my crank is a nice blend of funky house, old school hiphop, hip-house, alternative, dance-rock, electro and nu-retro," she says with a smile. "I enjoy it all. My father worked in the music industry and our entire basement was stacked with every kind of record you could think of. It was legendary. I left Barbie to the wayside because all I wanted to do was play with records, while pretending to be a radio host."

Sure enough, Vanessa has realized at least two of her aspirations. For nearly half a decade, she's been hosting the Vanessa DeWilde Radio Show, a popular dance music radio show broadcast on Toronto's Energy 105.1 FM. Additionally, Vanessa writes scripts for radio and television and works in the voice-over industry. She works full-time as a booking agent and manager for one of the most highly-acclaimed providers of DJ services in North America.

Tune in to Energy 105.1 FM every Thursday night / Friday morning at 1am EST for the Vanessa DeWilde Radio Show. For nearly five years, this popular broadcast has been taking listeners on an entertaining and educational trip around the diverse and wonderful world of electronic dance music.
