Honey Dijon

Honey Dijon grew up in the 1970s on the south side of Chicago, in what she has described as a "very middle-class, loving African-American family" that was very musical. She began clubbing during her mid-teens with her parents' acceptance as long as her academics did not suffer. In the 1990s, she began to perform as a DJ. Around 2000, she also became active as a producer. After first being exposed to techno in Chicago's house scene, she performed on New York City's underground club circuit and played sets at fashion shows. In 2017, Dijon released her debut album, titled The Best of Both Worlds. Dijon was described as a "popular house-music DJ" by the New York Times in 2013. == Activism and public image ==

Redmond is transgender, and came out publicly shortly after moving to New York in the late 1990s. At a 2017 event hosted by the MoMA PS1 museum in New York City, she led a roundtable discussion "focused on those who have, like her, found safety and creative expression within the New York club scene." While accepting her British Dance Act award at the Brit Awards 2025, Charli XCX shouted Honey Dijon out in her speech, among other dance acts she had been influenced by. ==Discography==
