One of my best frineds of 2009 and a dj that is litterally everywhere seemingly all at once sometimes. A well deserved recognition for a hard years work. Congrats Moxy!!!!

BTW make sure to show Moxy plenty of love in the first half of 2010 as she has plans of moving on from Columbus to further her music goals. expect the party of the year to send her off if we don’t choose to hold her hostage her in the 614.

congrats moxy! well deserved and i’d have to say she is also the hardest working dj in columbus, how she can spin 4 shows in a night is beyond me!

Not only 4 shows a night but the girl carries her gear either by bike or scooter most of the time.

i’m completely humbled to be on the Best Of 09 list,,humbled and wholeheartedly grateful! i’m thrilled to be on the same list as alllllllllllll you guys! i really appreciate all of the support, props, fists in the air for me and my work. feels good to know that, while working my ass off through personal hardships and adversity, i’m still able to put out quality music in a way that touches so many hearts and souls in a positive way. Saying Thank You isn’t a strong enough way to show my appreciation so,,i’ll just keep on keepin’ on - you’ll hear how thankful i am ;> WrrrrrrrD

CONGRATS & well deserved! Her music takes me just where I need to be. I felt an immediate connection the first time I heard ‘prep school drop-out’… I love seeing talent recognized in people who are passionate and humble (and obviously very talented). Rock on Mox!
