MOODBOARD: Baronhawk Poitier / Gemynii B2B Femi the Femme / Jermainia

BARONHAWK POITIER (DANCECLUB, DC)

Growing up in PG County, Maryland nestled between Baltimore and Washington, DC shaped life for artist Baronhawk Poitier. Listening to local radio stations breakdancing with local friends and sorting through records while working at The Record Exchange heavily influenced his pursuit of a career as a producer and DJ. He was recognized alongside mentor Kris Klayton aka Karizma/ Kaytronik with a grant from the National Endowment of Arts for electronic music production. Baronhawk expresses his passion for cultural preservation and education working with dance legends at the nonprofit culture and education project Urban Artistry, Inc. Poitier has also earned a name for himself within the LGBTQIA+ dance music community as a member of the unique queer artist collective The NeedlExchange “TNX,” who were known for their independent events and raves. He continues to tour as a solo artist while hosting events in DC as a co-creator and resident of the DJ collective “DanceClub”.

Baronhawk Poitier’s first EP “Temperado Tornado” (Honey Soundsystem Records) released in 2020, followed by remixes for notable artists Roxy “The Contagion” (Nervous Records), Chrissy “Give U XTC” (Cool Ranch Records) and OutputMessage “Our Love”. Singles, “Phickle Pickle” (Future Times), “There’s N000 Time” (None/Such Records) and “One Missed Call From A Tenderhawk” (Trax Only Records) are available on all platforms.
