she drops nightly on dance floors across the world, the 24-year-old Montreal DJ carries a reputation for orchestrating a spectacular fusion of mischief, music and mayhem. Glitter pranks, moustache parties and the entourage of gawking rubber chickens. Even pepperoni pizzas perfectly matched on turntables. Nothing is sacred – except the music. Although she hides her seriousness about the industry fairly well, the girl gets down behind the booth and more recently in the studio. A six-year student of conservatory piano and a graduate of McGill University’s computer science program, she has the musical education of a mathematically-inclined composer hell-bent on moving mountains in dance music. Her sets cover everything house with a hint of ping or pong – anything that makes hands fly in the air or nod your head in approval. She’ll very likely surprise you with her choice of classics. When asked to describe her sound, Vivie-Ann rattles off the description “bump in the night with a little dynamite,” a twinkle in her eye, adding that her sets could also be called “morally immoral.”
With a list of star-studded gigs, and guest spots under her belt, including clients like Ministry of Sound, Pacha, Cirque du Soleil, and MTV Europe. She currently hosts BLOND:ISH, the famed residency with Anstascia her other blonde counterpart at Cherry every Wednesday. Her other residencies at some of the most celebrated hotspots across the, globe include (but not limited to): Ministry of Sound Europe, Circus Montreal, Palladium Acapulco and Mynt in Sao Paulo. The former prom queen has lent her sexy blend of house music to Erick Morillo at Pacha Ibiza, Pacha Mallorca, Pacha Barcelona and Pacha Munich with MInistry of Sound, invited by M.A.N.D.Y to play @ Watergate in Berlin as well as uber mega club The Week in Rio with Gui Boratto and Roger Sanchez. She has also worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry, but we won’t bore you with the laundry list of who’s who. We will tell you about herupcomingreleases so you can support them.

For Vivie-Ann, it’s a natural progression. She lives for the moment when she converts yet another dance floor, another listener
or another participant in this journey we call house.
