Performer
Quiana Parks
Quiana is an accomplished artist in addition to her work as a DJ. During Quiana's cancer treatment, she discovered peace and happiness in art. "Sisters," one of Quiana's first pieces, depicts the unwavering love she received from the women in her life while she was in remission from cancer. Quiana's work has been shown at Art Basel Miami and the Scope New York Art Fair. She has since partnered with brands such as Neiman Marcus and Adidas, among others.
Quiana is a cultural force to be reckoned with who is more than just a DJ and an artist. Her style and coolness are two of her most valuable assets as a social media influencer today. Nylon Guys Magazine named Quiana one of the "Top 5 New York DJs You Should Know." Her work has been featured in Highsnobiety, The Coveter, The Huffington Post, and The New York Times.
In addition to her demanding performance schedule and blossoming art career, Quiana believes in using her craft for good. Quiana founded DJ for a Cure, an awareness project that combines her love of music with the goal of raising awareness about blood cancers, as a proud 16-year survivor of Lymphoma. Quiana, a proud survivor, is still using her talents to give other patients and survivors a voice. DJ for a Cure has donated to the Leukemia Lymphoma Society, Delete Blood Cancer | DKMS, and Gabrielle's Angel Foundation.
