Music news Ultragrrrl DJs in Atlanta this Friday
Posted by Ellis Jones on Fri, Sep 28, 2007 at 8:38 PM
Sarah Lewitinn, aka Ultragrrrl, may not be a household name in Atlanta, but in NYC she reigns supreme. Proof? New York Magazine named Lewitinn as one of "The Most Influential People in Music" in 2006. And though only in her twenties, Ultragrrrl has accomplished much — she's a published author (The Pocket DJ), an award-winning DJ, her blog (www.ultragrrrl.com) is wildly popular, and she's the founder of record label Stolen Transmission, in partnership with Island Def Jam.But even if you take all that away, Lewitinn has something many people lack in the music industry: killer intuition. She was the first manager for My Chemical Romance back in 2002, before they were even signed to a major label. And she was a huge backer for the Killers before they got signed to Island Def Jam.
And to top it all off, she's also been featured in Vanity Fair, Nylon, and U.K. GQ. In a nutshell, she has her shit together. And if you ever want to see her doing her thing but don't want to make the trip to NYC, check her out tonight. She'll be DJing a house party at 1268 Oak Grove Ave. in East Atlanta courtesy Cartel manager Chris Black, and local DJ and previous CL contributor Drennen Quinn.
