ELI/Chico Chi (he/they) is a queer and non-binary transmasc DJ, producer and creative.

For the last seven years, Chi has been making their way onto stages and featured in numerous parties across the country, sharing lineups with artists and DJs such as Princess Nokia, Sosupersam and DJ Abilities. He has also DJ’d several drag and burlesque shows. In addition, Chi has been bringing his curated, multi-genre vibes to private events of all kinds, both in person and virtually, including Universities, queer weddings and several LGBTQIA+ non-profit organization events.

Chi started their DJ journey while creating safe(r) spaces and events for queer and transgender people of color in the Bay Area with Hunnies & Hot Sauce. He is also the co-founder of the music & creative production house Tender Bois Club and one of the resident DJs and organizers of Take Flight, a global music party based quarterly in the Twin Cities.

Between his Chinese-Cuban roots and growing up and living in cities across the US, Chi’s music selections transcend time and space. Their curation is one that can’t be pigeon holed. When experiencing one of their sets, expect to be taken on a journey through nostalgia and beyond, hearing a mix of genres and sounds, as well as original remixes and mash ups that’ll leave you pleasantly surprised.

These days you can find Chi splitting their time between Minnesota and California, or city hopping around the world.
