Jacquelyn Carmen Guerrero aka DJ CQQCHIFRUIT is a Chicago-based multidisciplinary artist of Cuban and Puerto Rican descent, originally from Miami, FL. CQQCHiFRUIT got their start as a DJ by learning from and playing with the Chances Dances collective in 2013, with their first gig at Danny’s Tavern in Chicago. But really, cqqchi’s love and obsession with dance music began at an early age when she heard Miami bass, hip hop, freestyle, trance, drum and bass, and other types of dance music broadcasted on Miami’s radio stations, some coming live from night clubs across South Florida. CQQCHiFRUIT’s sound incorporates elements from her Miami roots (salsa, dancehall, reggaeton, baile funk, hip hop, bass breaks, booty bass, trance, drum & bass), Chicago/Midwest residence (house, juke, ghetto tech) and global interest with an emphasis on divas, womxn, queer artists, and BASS from around the world.
