HISTORY

Born in Canada, and growing up in such varied places as Tanzania (East Africa), Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, and Vanuatu (The South Pacific), Cozmic Cat aka Paula Burrows absorbed International rhythms from a traveling family and became obsessed with music at an early age. 

She later moved to Philadelphia, USA and became immersed in the vibrant music scene there for over 9 years. Inspired by the artists and DJs she met in Philly and NYC,  she began managing street teams and promoting for Sony Music, Giant Step Records, and many more, all the while throwing her own events with DJs, percussionists and live musicians. 

Coz  learned about House music, Jazz, Disco, Soul, Rare Groove, Acid Jazz, Boogie and Funk from some of Philly's deepest crate diggers and Record Stores. This knowledge, passion and skill led to several award wins from various Philadelphia Press for Best DJ,  Best DJ (Mixer), and Best DJ (Audience Choice and Editors Choice).  

Armed with a vintage Korg Triton Synth and a burning desire to release a track on vinyl, she connected with two local Philly producers Lorne Peart and Jon Gil to release a series of  vinyl E.P's under the name From Philly With Love which earned them a spot on Urb Magazine's “Next 100”.  

Her nightlife community involvement, production and event promotion efforts compounded and eventually led to a career in the music industry as a full time DJ, music producer, promoter and later, a record label boss.  

DJ EXPERIENCE

Beyond the decks and the studio, Cozmic is shaping the future of dance music and leaving a legacy of local nightlife  engagement, as well as LGBTQ community support and role modelling. 

All this AND Black Queer representation on local and global stages:  A legacy that reflects her personal and professional values of unity, diversity, love and respect for dancefloor culture worldwide. 

If you have personally met Cozmic Cat, then you have felt that positivity, joy and connection with humanity that she shares with intention with everyone around her.
