Absolutely honored to welcome to Kyra Collective!
Hailing from Oakland, California, khariszma secured her place as a powerhouse in the bass music scene by working behind the curtain as the creator of CouchFam and Bay Area Bass Scene. An avid music collector, khariszma amassed a large Soundcloud following before touching a mixer because of her meticulously curated playlists showcasing the deep, dark, soulful sounds of dnb, jungle, dubstep, 140 and other UK-originated genres. Now, khariszma has stepped out from behind the curtain and moved behind the decks, turning those playlists into thoughtful journey sets brimming with contagious energy, and has played alongside legends such as Joe Nice, N-Type, Hamdi, Bou, The Widdler, Ternion Sound, Pushloop, Enigma Dubz, Distinct Motive, J:Kenzo, Degs, Minnesota, Maddy O’Neal, Sam Binga and Ivy Lab. Khariszma is quickly securing her spot as a DJ-who-is-not-to-be-missed in the bass music scene where she is a resident of Stamina Sundays in San Francisco and Konkrete Jungle Mile High, and a family member of Heavy Traffic Radio and Recordings.
Khariszma has also received recognition from UK dnb heavyweight Halogenix, who discovered her through Instagram and asked her to be his first guest on his newly minted GeminiGemini radio show on KoolFM in 2023. She has also played multiple times at the iconic Stamina Sundays in San Francisco as well and has gained a reputation for drawing large crowds in every city she plays in.
When she’s not playing shows, find her on Twitch where she streams her weekly Sunday afternoon liquid dnb show, and occasionally on Saturdays from 7-9pm Pacific on the CouchFam Twitch channel for Heavy Traffic’s Sub.FM radio show- the longest running bass music radio show that’s still going strong after 15 years.
