Pronouns: she/her

DJ Tabitha loves music. But she doesn’t just talk the talk, she walks the walk. Literally - she played tuba for competitive marching bands in high school and college. Born in Iowa Falls, Iowa, Tabitha taught herself to play piano on an old upright that her mom, who grew up on a farm, had traded a cow for decades earlier (true story!).

It was not just a set it and forget it standard playlist. Within three songs of the dance party starting, there…”
