Model. DeeJay. Gogo. She does it all! Born in Washington D.C. and raised in Silver springs and Potomac, Maryland and later Kansas City. Recently Sophia moved to Los Angeles to further her acting career.

Born in Washington D.C. and raised in Silver springs and Potomac, Maryland and later Kansas City. Recently Sophia moved to Los Angeles to further her acting career. her teenage years, Sophia started modeling by working at bikini shows, hair shows, fashion shows at malls, special event and car shows. She was then introduced into DJ’ing by DJ Shaunflo, as she would be his back-up and relief DJ at parties and clubs. “Since I love music just as much that I thought it would be pretty hot to have a girl DJ!,” Sophia smiles. Her original DJ name was ‘DJ Sofiyah,’ as in hot like fiyah!”

As she got older, priorities changed and Sophia concentrated on working and school. She finished school and attained her real estate license with Keller Williams.

But the spotlight lured Sophia back in and she started “shadow dancing” (behind a screen) at Voodoo Nightclub at Harrah’s Casino. Soon Sophia worked as gogo dancer at every club in the Kansas City area. “I’m one of the OG’s (original gangsters) of the gogo scene in the Midwest,” Sophia says. As she worked in the clubs Sophia realized her old passion to DJ. “So I said wait, I know how to DJ and I love it!” So she revived her DJ career and decided that she needed to change her name up, “…. Kinda like how many times Prince and P.Diddy did! So I chose ‘DJ Hustle-Lin’ because it had my last name ‘Lin’ and ‘Hustle’ (like the movie Hustle & Flow).” Club promoters soon hired her to DJ all over from Seattle to Miami up to Canada and down to Las Vegas.

At the same time Sophia also boosted her modeling career with many photoshoots for various publications and features. She got into spokesmodeling at SEMA, Hot Import Nights, and various events around the US. “It’s fun and exhausting at the same time. But its all worth it! Networking, traveling, meeting new people, being in the spotlight and putting a smile on peoples faces….that’s what its all about!”

With the success there have been obstacles and hardships along the way. “Life hasn’t been the easiest thing for me. I’ve been through everything a fifty year old has! except children!” Sophia laughs. In the past year, Sophia went through surgery to remove tumors and finally release her from the pain she had been coping with for some time. “So I appreciate life more than many people do.”

What’s next for Sophia? “As long as I’m taking ten steps forward and no steps backwards. That is all that matters, but I’d really like to pursue becoming an actress and a performer. I’m still on the pursuit to happYness!”

Beauty and talent.
Smart and sexy.
Feel the music.
Feel the beat.
It’s Sophia DJ Hustle-Lin.
