DELPHINE WILLIAMS AKA SILKY D - THE FEMALE PIONEER

Born: 19
Real Name: Delphine Williams
Artist Name: Silky D

Delphine "Silky D" Williams is a diamond in the smooth. An L.A. original and iconic presence as the innovative and pioneering female DJ that broke barriers and laid serious groundwork in the streets, clubs and airwaves of Los Angeles for all young girls to follow. Silky "D" was the only female DJ to be down with the legendary West Coast party crew, Uncle Jamms Army, and provided the unforgettable background noises for 80's classics, "Dial a Freak" and "808 Beats". DJ Silky "D" went on to become one of the first female sound and stage managers in the game, providing sound for such renowned talents as Teena Marie, The Gap Band, Zapp, Cameo, Ice Cube, Monica and Da Brat, to name a few. Delphine is most proud to see her gifted daughter carrying the torch with great success as the world-class talent, DJ Spark. With the timely launching of the new Online Hit Station, Beat Lounge Radio, Silky "D" can now be heard weeknights for "Silk between the sheets", -smooth grooves, and Saturday afternoons with "The Real Underground", -a much needed dose of community issues, politics, and Hiphop history, co-hosted by the legendary DJ "T", Tony Joseph. From the beginning and to the end, Delphine "Silky D" Williams stands as a founding female DJ and keen businesswoman to many that would follow; still keeping it real and un-cut.
