Afro-Latina LA native artist, dancer, DJ, and heartbeat of the underground house music scene, Juliet Mendoza fuses her love of dance with soul-stirring music to create immersive experiences on and off the dance floor. Blending fresh energy with classic house lineage, her sets carry powerful vocal messages and a contagious energy that invites everyone to move, connect, and belong.
Her journey begins in the mid-90s LA scene, where she became a regular at famed houses like the Arena and Carnival. As she grew within the industry, Juliet’s practice broadened beyond performance into a holistic expression of house culture—melding dance, DJ craft, and promotion to shape clubs, festivals, and community spaces. Her work champions a dialogue between new and classic sounds, with melodies and deep grooves guiding audiences toward collective movement and personal connection.
