Vontrece McNeil, commonly known by her sobriquet "Vonnie Mack" is a Brooklyn based dj, and multidisciplinary creative. Vonnie is recognized by her vast, eclectic music selections inspired globally by her travels, and passion for culture and is often intertwined with her love for throwback nostalgic gems from the 90s, 2000s and beyond. She’s played alongside prominent artists, and worked with notable brands, and venues in the US and globally. In addition, to founding and curating events and parties for ‘The Yes, Honey Collective’, a global dj collective centered on the advancement of Black & Brown women, and non-binary djs of color, she recently went into partnership with Serato to offer “Studio Sessions”, educational workshops for the working dj. Working with Serato, she was able to offer monthly free classes, through the collective focused on production and tech. In 2019, her curation continued as she joined Jwompa, (the first ever music streaming app made for the global African diaspora), where she curates diverse and culturally immersing playlists focusing exclusively on African music for listeners all over the globe.

I'm a Love Angeles native with a background in design. LA raised me and New York made me. In New York City my love for entertaining & spirits sparked. Soon after I made the move to New Orleans. I found my niche in Nola and incorporated my culture through every cocktail I create. I pair cocktails with cultural influence including Hip Hop, Black history and iconic black films. I use my liquid art to tell a story of black excellence, a Negrostorian with a cocktail.
