BIO

Aleksandra has peaked on the coveted beatport charts for her production, “Sibling Rivalry” which she co-produced with her brother Jake Chec. She’s opened for the likes of Steve Porter, Alex Kenji and Hatiras. She has been on the same bill as Sasha, Erick Morillo, Hernan Cattaneo, John Acquaviva, Benny Benassi, Paco Osuna, Christopher Lawrence, ATB and Ferry Corsten.

By far not a one-dimensional DJ/producer Aleksandra delivers a blend of chunky, rolling, phat tech-house and techno but adapts her sound to any venue setting whether it is underground or commercial. Her versatility and programming is what keeps Aleksandra one of Canada’s fastest risers within its electronic music scene. In the seven years Aleksandra has been DJing, she’s played all the major cities across Ontario and landed a coveted residency at Toronto’s Guvernment where she has also played at its annual Freedom event. She has repeatedly rocked other renown clubs including Comfort Zone, Footwork, Boom Boom Room and Film to name a few. Aleksandra has also traveled to play throughout Quebec, USA and Poland. In addition Aleksandra donates her musical time to numerous charitable events for breast cancer awareness and a local animal sanctuary.

Aleksandra, who is of Polish descent was born in Italy, but raised in Canada. Both her parents are professional musicians with their Masters in music, so it was only natural she pursue it in some way. She bought her first turntables when she was only 16. She currently attends Ryerson University for Business Management, and is also a teaching assistant.

As her career continues to build momentum you can expect more releases, expansion into the USA, and her mixes continuing to air on the Executive Mix (100.7FM Toronto), Frisky Radio (USA), Night Clip (Brazil) and more. Aleksandra is well on her way to being one of Canada’s greatest musical exports showcasing skills and versatility which erupts dance floors everywhere. This combined with a strong work ethic is what keeps her in such high demand.
