I first met Melissa and Jennette, aka Melissa Witt and Madame Ette, on a Friday night out in Pigalle. We somehow got chatting at the bar of Le Sans Souci and quickly realised we had heaps in common, especially when it came to records. Rick James, Nu Shooz, Digital Underground, Kate Bush, Prince etc., we agreed on nearly everything concerning the music we dug .. After becoming friends and sharing a string of the best nights out dancing in Paris, we formed our DJ crew : The Funky Jems .
It was such a treat to get to DJ with the girls as The Funky Jems at Le Pigalle this month for the Wax Poetics x Le Pigalle night. Watch this space for more updates on The Funky Jems!
