Pride Month 2019: DJ Yooey

We talk Pride Month with DJ, club promoter, bartender and all around jack of trades Yooey Kim. Wang Chungs bartender Chris Sierra mixes up amazing drinks and we celebrate with the word of the day, appropriately chosen as lesbian. Yooey was a known name in Honolulu nightlife by age 19, and by 21 she quickly became one of Honolulu’s top bartenders. She crashed into the party promotion scene when she co-founded Honolulu’s premiere monthly party, ChittyBang. It wasn’t until she had been throwing parties and slanging drinks for Hawaii’s top headliners for almost 12 years that she finally decided to pursue her music career and become one of them. Yooey is an open format club DJ who weaves in hip-hop, trap, future bass, and house to shape her eclectic signature sound. In less than one year in Honolulu’s DJ industry, Yooey has opened sold-out shows for nationally renowned headliners including Nervo, Cash Cash and more. She has also been mentioned in favorite local blogs as “Best Newcomer DJ.” You can find Yooey spinning at some of Honolulu’s most popular venues including The Safehouse, Bar 35, Nextdoor, The Manifest, The Republik, The Electron Room, and the Sunset Pool at the Modern Hotel.
