About PG

Born: Washington DC

Current Residence: Brooklyn NY

Trade: Creator and Communicator of Music (Producer/DJ/Live Electronics/Vocalist/Emcee) and Art

History: Bought her first piece of music production gear at 14. Grew up listening to Teddy Riley, The Cure, Loose Ends, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Red Hot Chili Peppers...to name a few.

Production style: Soultronica

Bio: When speaking of electronic or hip hop producers who have made innovative contributions to their genre, females are rarely mentioned. Whether hard to find or never exposed, Pursuit Grooves is making it her business to deliver an important message to the world...WE DO EXIST!

Pursuit Grooves stands out from the rest not only as a female producer but as a music producer in general. Refusing to be defined or labeled she graciously accepts all of her influences to create something that is distinctly her own while owing much to the past. Inspiration includes soul/funk artists (Cameo, Sade, Loose Ends), trip hop gurus (Bjork, Massive Attack, Portishead) and hip hop producers (DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Jay Dee).

Armed with a modest studio, Pursuit Grooves manages to make a mountain out of a mole hill. She is not only poised to make a place for herself in the world of music, but is guaranteed to grow and prosper with the changing times. Much like her name, Pursuit Grooves plans to SEEK HUNT and CAPTURE... Your Ears.

She started experimenting with production at the age of 14 and started DJing in college. She continues to DJ special events and supply guest mixes for international radio shows.

Pursuit Grooves released her debut instrumental CD Fun Like Passion on her own label What Rules Records in July of 2006. Receiving fanfare and support from numerous DJs, especially in Europe, Pursuit Grooves was established as one to watch in the years to come.

The track "Push Up" is currently available on the Beat Dimensions Vol.1 part 2 (2007) limited vinyl and CD on the Rush Hour (Amsterdam) label.

Her second album Wild Art Forestry was released in June of 2008.

Pursuit Grooves was selected as one of 60 participants out of 2300 applicants to take part in the Redbull Music Academy in Barcelona, Spain in October 2008.

Her third album Sustainable Movements for A New Age: An Environmental Beat Tape was released in April 2009.

Her fourth project, Fox Trot Mannerisms will be released on the Tectonic label in April 2010.
