DJLynda Carter

Detroit's real-life Wonder Woman. The name honors the hero she grew up on: assertive, powerful and strong, while still graceful, caring and kind. That's the energy she brings to every room.

Lynda came up through radio, local TV, event management and promotion before the turntables took over. She has opened for P. Diddy's Making the Band tour and Erykah Badu and Marsha Ambrosius, and played events and after-parties tied to John Legend, Alicia Keys, Biz Markie, Dwele and Spinderella. You'll also find her at trail rides, tailgates and festivals across Detroit and beyond.

Her FUSION mix series flips hip hop and R&B classics into house, and SOUNDWAVE, a mix show filmed on the water, is on the way. Off the decks she's a Detroit Public Schools graduate, a part-time professor with education degrees from Western Michigan and Wayne State, and the founder of Wright Hospitality, the group behind MIX Bricktown (since 2011), The LOCKEROOM, Sandbox and Me & You. She is a Michigan Chronicle Woman of Excellence (2020), a Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses alum, and has been recognized by Detroit City Council.

“Detroit is not on me, it’s in me.”
