CANDIS CAYNE is a trailblazing actress. Starting her career in downtown New York City nightclubs, Cayne moved to Los Angeles and starred in the ABC drama Dirty Sexy Money in 2007, becoming the first transgender actress playing a regular transgender character in television history.

Julie Newmar (in which she also choreographed musical numbers), Wigstock: The Movie, Stonewall, and Starrbooty with RuPaul.

LINA BRADFORD was born and raised in New York City, across the street from famed Carnegie Hall on the Upper West Side. She studied modern ballet, tap and jazz for 11 years and performed in several companies throughout NYC. Those same moves she learned in rehearsals became a part of her signature style when she began her DJ career in the gritty East Village scene. She has traveled through Europe, appearing in Sardinia, St Tropez, London and Paris. Accolades soon came rolling in, including DJ of the year and Lifetime Achievement awards at the Glammy and Sage Innovator. She began a residence on Fire Island in 2005 and has been holding it down every weekend since. DJ Lina is often seen hosting the biggest private parties from NYC to Europe.
