Her Life and Music

Honey Dijon grew up in Chicago in the 1970s. She came from a musical family. She started going to clubs in her mid-teens. Her parents allowed this as long as her schoolwork didn't suffer. In the 1990s, she began working as a DJ. Around the year 2000, she also started producing music.

While in Chicago, she met and learned from famous DJs and producers. Some of these included Derrick Carter and Mark Farina. In the late 1990s, Honey Dijon moved to New York. There, she was introduced to Maxi Records and Danny Tenaglia. She played music in New York City's underground clubs and at fashion shows.

She has worked with big fashion brands like Louis Vuitton and Dior for many years. She creates the music for their runway shows.

In 2013, The New York Times called her a "popular house-music DJ." In 2018, Resident Advisor said she made popular a lively DJ style. This style uses a lot of classic disco, techno, and house music. Honey Dijon herself has said that while many people connect her to Chicago and classic house music, she can also play strong rhythmic techno.
