DJ Young 1 has already made several high-profile appearances in her career, including Supperclub San Francisco, Pride Celebrations in Los Angeles and Oakland, and a spotlight on the Queen Latifah Show. She’s also made a cameo appearances in the music video for Jessica Sanchez’s “Tonight” featuring Ne-Yo, and competed on NBC’s America’s Got Talent.
