DJ Pøptrt is an indigenous multidisciplinary artist and DJ from the Mohawk Nation of Kahnawake. She started her DJ career in 2015 while studying media and art in Montréal. Electronic music has always been a big part of her life, from when her father introduced her to Daft Punk and shared his vast music collection with her at a very young age. Before pursuing music, she started creating art in graphic design and visual format. The name Pøptrt was a play on words for pop art, an art movement that has significantly influenced her life. She also liked the idea of having the imagery of a Pop-tart to represent the sweet and playfulness of her art. She started performing after falling in love with the Montréal event and music scene. She began her first radio show, Pøptrt's Playhouse, in 2018 on Kahnawake's K1037 (103.7 FM) which broadcasted for over three years. Pøptrt is the current Thursday resident DJ at Club Unity in Montreal.
During the quarantine of 2020, she began live-streaming on Twitch. Pøptrt has collaborated and streamed with Drumbeat Entertainment, RedBull Gaming Canada, Foreign City Canada, and more. She turned Pøptrt's Playhouse into a live-stream format, allowing her to incorporate her passion for visual art and VJing. Catch her streams every Wednesday at 8:30 pm ET live on Twitch.
