Ashley Younniä

Ashley Younniä is a DJ, music curator, and sonic architect rooted in the Black American tradition of house music. Jersey born and based in Los Angeles, she moves dance floors worldwide with soulful sets blending gospel, RnB, and electronic sounds from Black culture and the Jersey sound the raised her.

Ashley has played globally—from Tokyo to Mexico City, Australia, Korea, and Europe—and has shared and appeared on stages with Kelela, Lion Babe, The Broad Museum, MOCA, Hillman Grad, and The Whitney Museum. Her sound has helped soundscape queer-led LA dance parties like Stardust, TheyHouseLA, and Black House Radio, as featured in the Los Angeles Times. Her own dance floor and visual curations, Feelin’ Feelin’, A House Called Zanzibar and Children of the Sound Studios is a showcase of the sonic roots to which she comes from.

Experiencing Ashley’s sets is like being dropped into a full-length power ballad love song at a BPM that invites your body into movement and deeper connection.
