Biography
While the majority of her work is in the jungle style, her more successful work is in traditional electronic music. DJ Rap has been voted the #1 female DJ in the world by Shejay. She owns, records for, runs and A&Rs two labels Propa Talent and Impropa Talent. She is also a producer, model and actress. DJ Rap grew up all over the world and was born in Singapore, daughter of an Italian father and an Irish-Malaysian mother. She lived in Walthamstow, East London for quite some time before she became a DJ.
She has worked as an engineer and produced many hits, often collaborating with other artists. After being the first artist on the scene to self-release her first CD, she signed to Sony along with Grooverider and Leftfield.
Her most well-known artist album, Learning Curve, was released in 1999 to critical acclaim and resulted in several stylized music videos, including two versions of "Good to Be Alive" (one for the CD version and another for the rarer radio remix) and "Bad Girl," a song about having to be a strong woman to survive in today's world. Rolling Stone gave Learning Curve three and a half stars, stating "this is the record Madonna wanted to make." Learning Curve went on to sell over 1 million copies bringing her total sales to over 3 million worldwide including her successful compilation sales including Journeys By DJ, Propa Classics Vol. 1 and 2, Brave New World, Armani Exchange CHEMISTRY and Touching Bass, Bulletproof, Up All Night, which have all crossed many genres and has become her trademark.

Bad Girl
by: DJ RapA silent conversation passes through the world
A million voices who are never really heard
A thousand reasons why our self-esteem can't stand
A million women let it slip right through their hands
Don't show me anger 'cos your anitudes could change
That glass ceiling should be radically erased
I'm trying to show you that as friends we'd get along
Respect my body 'cos that's where you came from
This is not a love song x4
Oh you gotta be a bad girl in this world
And you've got to make waves
Gonabeabad girl tobeheard
Assen your wicked ways
Gone be a bad girl in this world
And you've got to make waves
Gona be a bad girl to be heard
And that's what I say
It's just on loan to you it's my identity
I'd love to love you if you give it back to me
Don't criticise me 'cos I know it's overdue
I've learned my lessons my lessons well by following your moves
This is not a love song x4
Oh you gone be a bad girl in this world
And you've got to make waves
Oh you gotta be a bad girl in this world
And that's what I say
That's what I say
